BRIEF

Old items
1) Delay in implementation for orders of downgrade of District NDTSO from LSG to “A’ class SO.
It is came to the notice of my union that, the regional office order in c/w downgrading of district NDTSO from LSG to ‘A’ class SO was received in during August-2011. But the concerned OA has intentionally kept pending for three months without put file to the Supdt. Of post offices, Chitradurga Division. After intervene of my union monthly meeting during Oct-2011 the point was discussed with SPOS & then SPOS given assurance to implement an order immediately. But the said order is not implemented till today instead of that, the concerned establishment O.A. is intentionally delayed & misguiding the then SPOS. Hence it is requested to take suitable action against the concerned O.A. regarding intentionally delayed & pending regional office order for three months & conduct detailed inquiry in this case.
New items
1) Non Compliance if DG’s Instruction by Divisional Heads in the
    Membership Verification
As per DG’s instruction there is provision for obtain fresh declaration by the recognized unions during the month of April. The divisional Heads after receiving the declaration should notify the result and send the declaration to recovery of union subscription.
It has come to the notice of our union that SP Chitradurga and SSP Kolar has not acted on the declaration obtained and simply keeping the declaration with them. As far as SSP Mysore is concerned SSP has returned the declaration obtained by GDS on the plea that NUGDS is not a recognized union
 2] Posting of Permanent Postmaster [HSGII] to Chickballapur HO
For the last 8 years there is no permanent Postmaster in Chickballapur HSG II HO. The post is manned by making offing arrangement or by posting some officials who will work only for short period. Due to this working of the HO is badly affected.
          Our union requests you to kindly post a permanent/regular HSG II official early.
3] Operation of NREGS SB ACCOUNTS AND ITS EFFECT
          The NREGS accounts opened in SO or in BO’s are opened after the authenticity by the PDO/Secretary of the punchayat concerned.
          Similarly while allowing the withdrawal in the account same procedure is adopted and the withdrawal is allowed only after the signature of the depositors [account holder] is properly authenticated by PDO/Secretary.
          But in case of wrong payment the post office officials are made to pay the money for no fault of them. In such cases the Dept., must insist on PDO/Secretary punchayat to make good the loss and not the post office officials.
          Suitable instructions may please be issued to all concerned.
4] Up gradation of Shimoga Ravindranagar SO from ‘C’ class to ‘B’
   Class
The Shimoga Ravindranagar SO ‘C’ class SO is a heavy working office and Justifies for up gradation and be upgraded early.
If there is any problem for creation of one post of PA then the diversion of one post of Pa is diverted from Shimoga District office SO or from shimoga KR Pet SO be examined.
Our union request for early necessary action.     

5] Booking of Railway ticket be extended to offices in the out
   Skirts SO’s in the CITY
The public who resides away from the want to book their rail way tickets have to go for a long distance. The facility available in the post office in the city is not available in the post offices situated in the outskirts of the city. There is heavy potentional extension area.
My union request for extending the facility of booking railway tickets to Shimoga Gopala Gowda Extn SO. Shinoga Vinobanagar SO and Shimoga Ravindranagar SO’s

From Post Office Clerk to President- Pranab Mukherji

Mr Pranab Mukherjee took the oath of office and secrecy as the 13th President of the country at the Central Hall of Parliament here on Wednesday.
The Chief Justice of India, Mr Justice S.H. Kapadia, administered the oath, at an elegant ceremony attended by top leaders and officials.
Mukherjee was born on 11 December 1935 in  Birbhum district in the Bengal province of British India. His father Kamada Kinkar Mukherjee, was a member of the Indian National Congress during the Indian Independence movement and had spent more than ten years in British jails. Mukherjee’s mother’s name was Rajlakshmi Mukherjee.
He holds a Master of Arts degree in History and Political science and also a degree in Law from the University of calcutta.
Mukherjee began his career as an upper-devision clerk in the office of the Deputy Accountant-General (Post and Telegraph) in Culcutta. After getting above academic degrees, he became professor in a college in Birbhum district and later he also worked as a journalist for the Bengali publication Desher Dak.
He was the UPA’s ‘little big man’, the crisis manager, the consensus builder, Mr Dependable, and Mr fix-it. He first became an Rajya Sabha MP 43 years ago. He became a minister 39 years ago. His first stint as Finance Minister of India began 30 years ago. His political career spans four decade. He has been a minister under every Congress Prime Minister in the last four decades.
Pranab Mukherjee learnt the art of politics from the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It was Indira who noticed Pranab’s talent — making him minister first time in 1973. He was re-elected to the Upper House in 1975, 1981, 1993 and 1999.
During the dark emergency in India, he stood by Indira Gandhi. He was also accused of favouring Reliance group and building up strong relationship with Dhirubhai Ambani.
After Indira’s assassination in 1984, the darkest phase in Pranab’s career began. Accused of conspiring to be Prime Minister he leaved the Congress party in 1985 and formed his own political party Rashtriya Samajwadi Congress.
In the regime of PV Narasimha Rao in 1991, he returned as Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission and subsequently a Union Cabinet Minister. From 1995 to 1996, he served as External Affairs Minister. A year later, in 1997 he was voted as an Outstanding Parliamentarian.
He has been the chief troubleshooter of the Congress party as well as the government. With Congress-led United Progressive Alliance returning to power in 2004, he ideally played the role of consensus builder to lead a coalition government.
It was in 2004, Pranab was appointed as the Leader of the House in the Lok Sabha after he was elected to the lower house for the first time from Jangipur constituency. He was expected to handle the political fallout of all difficult situations.
First Citizen
From holding some of the most powerful posts in the government, Pranab Mukherjee is India’s President. “Soon, I will not be a political entity,” Pranab Mukherjee had said in his farewell speech last week.
As Finance Minister
Pranab Mukherjee’s first stint as the Finance Minister of India was in 1982. He presented the first annual budget in 1982-83. He became the Finance Minister again in Manmohan Singh’s cabinet. He presented the Union Budget in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Best Finance Minister
In 1984, Pranab Mukherjee was rated as the best Finance Minister of the World according to a survey of Euro money magazine. In 2010, he was awarded Finance Minister of the Year for Asia by Emerging Markets, the daily newspaper of record for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Last year, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree by University of Wolverhampton. He has been a member of the Board of Governors of the International MonetaryFund, of the World Bank, of the Asian Development Bank, and of the African Development Bank.
Mirati’s Poltu
Poltu, a village boy from a small village in West Bengal always says that he is straight from village and indeed his story is great. He was educated in a village school. In 1946, Pranab Mukherjee was admitted to class 5th in Kirnahar Shib Chandra High School, Mirati as Poltu. As a young boy, Pranab used to swim across a river to go to school. He always came second in class, he never came first.
Every year, without any delay Pranab visits his home to keep alive the family traditions. He has done this for more than 30 years.
Family
Apart from the average 18 hours of work, he likes to read, garden and listens to Rabindra Sangeet. His favourite food is fish curry. He is married to Suvra and has two sons – Abhijit and Indrajit and a daughter – Sharmistha.
He was the sharpest mind in Manmohan Singh’s cabinet with deep understanding of politics, economic policies and strategic issues. He is also the consummate politician, seasoned politician – he played game on the ground and he has the potential to live up to his initials.
