Sub: Grant of CCS pension to the staff of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti Request – Reg
* * *
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, residential co-education schools located all over India, are a brain child of late Shri Rajiv Gandhi, a visionary who dreamt of imparting quality education to rural children so that they can compete with their urban counterparts on an equal footing.

The devoted and sacrificing services of the staff have elevated the schools to one of the best in India. Since their first appearance in CBSE exams, they have always been the toppers in terms of pass percentages and subject averages.

The Government of India as a policy has introduced New Pension Scheme, for those recruits to Government service on or after[protected]. All the employees of Government of India including the staff of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan who had joined prior to[protected], have been granted the benefits of CCS pension.

The Y.N.Chaturvedi Committee, 154th Parliamentary Standing Committee and the 6th CPC, have strongly recommended for the grant of CCS pension on a par with the staff of KVS.

It is most painful that without considering the genuine and legitimate issues the Union Cabinet has decided to introduce New Pension Scheme to all the existing employees of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. It is a clear case of discrimination and arbitrary and, hence, we reject the decision squarely.

Madam/sir,
we appeal to you to use your good offices and take up the genuine and legitimate issues of the staff of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, concerning their post retirement life and ensure that they are extended the CCS pension Scheme on a par with the staff of KVS.

With respectful regards.

Yours sincerely,
