38 सहायक निदेशकों का पदोन्‍नति आदेश जारी, अब शेष रिक्‍त पदों को भरने की हो तैयारी

केंद्रीय सचिवालय राजभाषा सेवा संवर्ग में सहायक निदेशक श्रेणी में वर्ष 2024 की रिक्तियों के एवज में कुल 38 वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों के नियमित पदोन्‍न्‍‍ति आदेश दिनांक 29 अक्‍टूबर, 2024 को जारी कर दिए गए हैं। यह पदोन्‍न‍ति बहुप्रतीक्षित थी और विलंब से हुई है। फिर भी देर आयद दुरुस्‍त आयद। इस पदोन्‍नति के साथ ही सहायक निदेशकों के अभाव में कार्य का दबाव झेल रहे मंत्रालयों और विभागों को कुछ राहत मिल सकेगी। एसोसिएशन सभी पदोन्‍नत वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारी साथियों के लिए शुभकामनाएं व्‍यक्‍त करती है और इस पदोन्‍नति को संभव बनाने के लिए राजभाषा विभाग के समस्‍त अधिकारियों के प्रति आभार प्रकट करती है। हम आशा करते हैं कि सहायक निदेशकों की पदोन्‍नति में होने वाली इस विलंब की चिरकालीन समस्‍या से विभाग अगले प्रयास में मुक्‍त हो सकेगा। 

अभी भी सहायक निदेशक श्रेणी में 80 से अधिक पद रिक्‍त पड़े हैं जिसका कोई समाधान नहीं हो सका है। एसोसिएशन आशा करती है कि संवर्ग की इस रीढ़ की हड्डी को सुदृढ करने के लिए विभाग जल्‍द ही इस समस्‍या का समाधान करेगा ताकि वर्षों से पदोन्‍नति की राह देख रहे वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों का मनोबल सुदृढ हो सके। 

पुन: सभी पदोन्‍नत होने वाले साथियों को बहुत- बहुत बधाई।

कार्यकारिणी की 8वीं बैठक संपन्‍न, संवर्ग से जुड़े मुद्दों की समीक्षा की गई

केंद्रीय सचिवालय राजभाषा सेवा अनुवाद अधिकारी एसोसिएशन की 8वीं बैठक दिनांक 13 अगस्‍त, 2024 को संपन्‍न हुई। इस बैठक में निम्‍नलिखित विषयों पर विस्‍तार से चर्चा की गई और भावी कार्ययोजना की रूपरेखा तय की गई।

 

कार्यकारिणी की बैठक में भाग लेने वाले पदाधिकारी एवं सदस्‍य

1. वर्ष 2024 के सहायक निदेशकों की डीपीसी की स्थिति

महासचिव श्री सुनील चौरसिया ने सदस्‍यों को सूचित किया कि कुछ समय पूर्व सहायक निदेशक से उप निदेशक ग्रेड में कुल 7 पदोन्‍नतियों के कारण वर्ष 2024 में पदोन्‍नति श्रेणी में सहायक निदेशक की कुल 5  रिक्तियां बढ़ जाने के कारण इन्‍हें भी पदोन्‍नति के लिए शामिल कर लिया गया है। विचारक्षेत्र में  3 और वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों को शामिल करने और उनके दस्‍तावेज मंगाने की प्रक्रिया पूर्ण हो चुकी है। परंतु अब पुन: यूपीएससी द्वारा एक बार फिर कुछ और अनुवाद अधिकारियों के दस्‍तावेजों की मांग की गई है। इस प्रकार यूपीएससी द्वारा बार-बार दस्‍तावेजों की मांग करने से मामले में विलंब हो रहा है। इस वर्ष लगभग 38 वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारी सहायक निदेशक के रूप में पदोन्‍नत होंगे। 

 2. सहायक निदेशक के सीधी भर्ती के रिक्‍त 78 पदों को पदोन्‍नति के माध्‍यम से भरा जाना : अध्‍यक्ष, श्री सौरभ आर्य ने सदस्‍यों को अवगत कराया कि इस समय संवर्ग में सहायक निदेशक के सीधी भर्ती के कुल 78 पद रिक्‍त पड़े हैं जोकि वर्ष 2015 के बाद के विभिन्‍न वर्षों के दौरान सृजित हुए हैं। सहायक निदेशक का पद इस संवर्ग की रीढ़ की हड्डी है। इस स्थिति में संवर्ग के सहायक निदेशक और कनिष्‍ठ एवं वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारी भारी दबाव में कार्य कर  रहे हैं। एसोसिएशन ने इन पदों को पदोन्‍नति के माध्‍यम से भरने के लिए डीओपीटी से वन टाइम रिलेक्‍सेशन मांगने के लिए दिनांक 08 अगस्‍त, 2024 को एक अभ्‍यावेदन दिया है। एसोसिएशन का मानना है कि इन 78 पदों में से केवल कुछ पदों के लिए छूट मांगे जाने से समस्‍या का समाधान नहीं होगा और इन 78 पदों में से सीधी भर्ती का कोई भी प्रयास नए विवादों को ही जन्‍म देगा और यह समस्‍या कभी नहीं सुलझ पाएगी। अतएव, एसोसिएशन ने विभाग से आग्रह किया है कि इन समस्‍त 78 पदों के संबंध में एक बारगी छूट के लिए प्रस्‍ताव आगे बढ़ाया जाए।

इसके साथ ही भविष्य के लिए भर्ती नियमों में संशोधन करने के दिनांक 21.03.2024 अनुरोध को भी दोहराया है। साथ ही एसोसिएशन ने विभिन्‍न तथ्‍यों के माध्‍यम से यह भी रेखांकित किया है कि सीधी भर्ती के माध्‍यम से आने वाले सहायक निदेशक किसी भी प्रकार से संवर्ग के लिए उपयुक्‍त नहीं होंगे और न ही वे ऐसी कोई योग्‍यता रखेंगे जो संवर्ग के वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों को पास न हो। 

3. ऑनलाइन अपार प्रणाली की स्थिति: ऑनलाइन एपीएआर प्रणाली इस एसोसिएशन का पहले दिन से ही ध्‍येय रहा है। इस संबंध में एसोसिएशन ने पहली ही बैठक में आदरणीय सचिव महोदया के समक्ष इस संबंध में अनुरोध किया था। हर्ष का विषय है कि विभाग ने अपने स्‍तर पर इस परियोजना के लिए भारी-भरकम बजट स्‍वीकृत कर दिया है और हम आशा करते हैं कि विभिन्‍न औपचारिकताओं को पूरा करने के उपरांत यह परियोजना लागू हो जाएगी और सवंर्ग के सभी अधिकारी अगले वर्ष अपनी एपीएआर ऑनलाइन प्रणाली में भर पाएंगे। इससे एपीएआर के गुम होने, विभाग तक समय पर न पहुंचने, वरिष्‍ठ अधिकारियों द्वारा समय पर एपीएआर न लिखने जैसी समस्‍याएं हमेशा के लिए समाप्‍त हो जाएंगी।  इस प्रणाली के लागू होने के उपरांत डीपीसी के समय दस्‍तावेजों को एकत्र करने में लगने वाले अनावश्‍यक समय की भी बचत हो सकेगी।  

4. एसोसिएशन के पंजीकरण की स्थिति: एसोसिएशन संगठन का पंजीकरण कराने के लिए दृढ़ संकल्पित है। इस संबंध में दिनांक 04 जून को साकेत कोर्ट में आवेदन कर दिया गया था। तदुपरांत संबंधित कार्यालय द्वारा आगामी औपचारिकताओंं के लिए विभिन्‍न विभागों को पत्र लिख दिए गए हैं। आशा है कि शीघ्र ही पंजीकरण संबंधी समस्‍त औपचारिकताएं पूर्ण हो जाएंगी और हमारा संगठन पंजीकृत हो जाएगा। 


5. पदोन्‍नति पूर्व प्रशिक्षण: पदोन्‍नति पूर्व प्रशिक्षणों को समय से आयोजित करने के संबंध में एसोसिएशन विभाग के अधिकारियों के निकट संपर्क में रहकर समय-समय पर स्‍मरण कराती रहती है। हम विभाग के अधिकारियों के आभारी हैं कि वे भी इस संबंध में सजगता से आगे बढ़ते हुए प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम आयोजित कर रहे हैं। आगामी प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम में 29 सहायक निदेशकों तथा 4 कनिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों को शामिल किया गया है। इसके उपरांत वरिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों का भी प्रशिक्षण आयोजित किया जाएगा। 

6. ग्रेड वेतन संबंधी मामले की स्थिति: जैसा कि आप सभी को विदित है कि इस समय हमारे संवर्ग की एक साथी सुश्री बीनू के. बी. का ग्रेड वेतन संबंधी मामला एर्नाकुलम कैट में विचाराधीन है। इस मामले में विगत 5 अगस्‍त को सुनवाई हुई थी और मामले में 11 नवंबर को अंतिम निर्णय के लिए तारीख निश्चित की गई है। उधर कुछ और मामले देश के उच्‍च न्‍यायालयों में विचाराधीन हैं जिनके निर्णय के आलोक में एसोसिशन द्वारा कोई भी सुविचारित कदम उठाया जाएगा। 

7. वर्ष 2022 के कनिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों का  नियमितीकरण: वर्तमान में वर्ष 2019 के कुछ कनिष्‍ठ अधिकारियों का नियमितिकरण का मामला विभाग में विचाराधीन है। एसोसिएशन ने 2022 बैच के शीघ्र नियमितीकरण के संबंध में विभाग से अनुरोध किया है। कुछ ही समय में वर्ष 2022 के कनिष्‍ठ अनुवाद अधिकारियों के नियमितीकरण की प्रक्रिया शुरू की जाएगी।

एसोसिएशन के बाई लॉज सभी हितधारकों के अवलोकनार्थ प्रस्‍तुत

प्रिय साथियो,

एसोसिएशन संगठन के पंजीकरण के लिए प्रयासरत है। इस दिशा में संबंधित रजिस्‍ट्रार कार्यालय द्वारा एसोसिएशन से बाई लॉज और मेमोरंडम ऑफ एसोसिएशन की मांग की गई है। उल्‍लेखनीय है कि पूर्व एसोसिएशन से हमें केवल संविधान प्राप्‍त हुआ था जिसे विगत आम सभा की बैठक में कुछ संशोधनों के उपरांत नए सिरे से पारित किया गया।

इस उद्देश्‍य के लिए एसोसिएशन ने अन्‍य संगठनों के बाई लॉज को आधार के रूप में रखकर उनमें अपने संवर्ग के हित में कतिपय संशोधन किए हैं। ये वास्‍तव में पूर्व में आम सभा द्वारा पारित हमारे संविधान के प्रावधानों का ही विस्‍तार हैं। पंजीकरण की आवश्‍यकताओं के अुनसार बाई लॉज का भी आम सभा से अनुमोदन अपेक्षित है। चूंकि आसन्‍न चुनावों के कारण कुछ समय आम सभा की बैठक संभव नहीं है इसलिए कार्यकारिणी ने निर्णय लिया है कि इन नियमों को सभी स्‍टेकहोल्‍डर्स के अवलोकन के लिए सार्वजनिक कर टिप्‍पणियां आमंत्रित कर ली जाएं। दूसरे आम सभा की बैठक में सभी लोग भाग नहीं ले पाते हैं इसलिए बेहतर है कि सार्वजनिक मंच पर मसौदा उपलब्‍ध कराकर हितधारकों की राय जान ली जाए। इसी क्रम में कार्यकारिणी की दिनांक 14 मार्च, 24 को संपन्‍न असाधारण बैठक में कार्यकारिणी ने अपने स्‍तर पर इनका अनुमोदन कर दिया है।

आप सभी अनुवाद अधिकारी आम सभा के सदस्‍य हैं और स्‍टेकहोल्‍डर्स हैं। अतएव, आप सभी से अनुरोध है कि एसोसिएशन के ब्‍लॉग पर उपलब्‍ध संविधान के आलोक में बाई लॉज और मेमोरंडम ऑफ एसोसिएशन का अध्‍ययन करें और 7 दिनों के अंदर अपनी प्रतिक्रिया से, यदि कोई हो, एसोसिएशन को ब्‍लॅाग पर अथवा ई मेल (csolstoa@gmail.com) के माध्‍यम से अवगत कराने का कष्‍ट करें। 7 दिनों के उपरांत इन्‍हें आम सभा से अनुमोदित माना जाएगा। तत्‍पश्‍चात एसोसिएशन के पंजीकरण के कार्य को गति प्रदान की जा सकेगी। अनुमोदित संविधान तथा बाई लॉज का मसौदा आप सभी के अवलोकनार्थ प्रस्तुत हैं:
