ASSOCIATION : A
JOURNEY FROM 90s TO 2010 AND ONWARDs
CSOLS
Translators’ Association was formed perhaps in the year 1990 with the objective
of protecting the various interests of junior and Senior Hindi Translators in
the matters of better service conditions and working environment so as to make
this service an attractive one and also to make it respectful for the highly
qualified new entrants .
Unfortunately,
over the years, the functionaries of the Association have degenerated
themselves into a group of selfish and visionless people restricting their activities
to personal benefits like getting their posting in offices light in terms of
workload, collecting money from its members on every occasion and grossly misusing
the fund collected for the benefits of the few near and dear ones, victimizing
those who speak against them etc. to say the least.
In this
scenario, an urgent need to hold election for the posts of the Association has
been felt by rank and file of the cadre. It is pertinent to mention here that
the election for the various posts of the Association was last held way back in
the year 1997. It is anybody’s guess why election has not been held since then?
Given the
present pathetic state of affairs of the Association, we like to draw your kind
attention towards some of the following meritorious issues pertaining to our
cadre and seek you support:
(1) The
issue of granting Grade Pay of Rs. 4600 to JUNIOR TRANSLATORS is still
unsolved.
(2) The issue of regularization of senior
translators (Ad-hoc) is far from getting solved.
(3) The
issue of promoting JHT to SHT is entangled because of non production/submission
of major and minor penalties for the last 10 years.
(4) No
request for acceding to the demand of holding limited departmental examination
for JHT for the post of AD (OL) has been sent to Dept. of Official Language.
(5) No
statement of income and expenditure of the Association has ever been shown or
produced in the General Body Meeting.
(6) No
election to the various posts of the Association has been declared/held since
1997.
(7) Miscellaneous
issues
Hence the need
to press for a positive change is imminent.
Join us for your own interests and show your unity and solidarity with
us.
Thanking
you.
