AN ODE TO OUR LEADER
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
And that has made all the difference.”
The man who shouldered the burden of multitudes
The man who simmered the anger of anguished
The man who trimmed the egos of many at Authority
The man who burned the midnight oil to light the way
The man who bridged the hearts and minds
The man who broke the walls of inertia
The man who oiled the wheels of NFPE
The man who toiled to spread the wings and span the sky
The man who unfurled the legacy
The man who hoisted the spirit of sacrifice
The man who tread the path of struggle
Walking free to hug and celebrate the comradery.
He is our flag Mast; He is our Long March.
Com. Krishnan Long Live! Com. Krishnan Zindabad!!
NFPE Zindabad!!!

COPIED FROM AIPAEA WEBSITE
Soon, attendance of govt staff to be tracked online through attendance.gov.in
In what could be a revolutionary step towards monitoring and tracking the work of government officials, the NDA government has launched an “attendance website” to serve as a centralised database for all central government employees.
Though the website, attendance.gov.in, is still in the process of being developed, officials said it is expected to be modelled on the lines of similar websites of the Jharkhand government and the Department of Electronics and Information Technology.
To illustrate, the home page of the Jharkhand government’s attendance website gives the total number of employees present on the given day, along with graphical representations of “real-time attendance” and statistics on the percentage of people logging into office during different time slots, giving an idea of how many officials come to office during the designated timings. Further, a search for any REGISTERED
employee yields complete details, along with the employee’s attendance/leave status.
employee yields complete details, along with the employee’s attendance/leave status.
Officials said the Centre’s website is likely to emulate most of these features and is expected to be as open to the public. “This level of open tracking takes transparency to another level, a key focus of this government,” said an official.
The Narendra Modi government had recently directed all central government offices to introduce Aadhaar-based biometric attendance systems. Officials said this website is the next step in that direction. The attendance record entered on the biometric devices in government offices will feed the data to this website, which will act as a centralised management information system (MIS) for attendance.
The database for all central government staff will be maintained centrally with a unique six digit ID provided for each employee, based on either the last six or first six digits of the Aadhaar number. Currently, the website has over 16,000 registered users, spread across 113 organisations. The maximum number of officials registered currently are from the Planning Commission. There are no active users or active devices yet.
For an organisation/ department to be registered, the nodal officers of that department will have to login to the website and create a master list of locations of their offices, designation of their offices and divisions/ units/ groups within their organisation. Following this, each employee can start REGISTERING online by submitting the relevant details along with Aadhaar numbers.

Exclusivity of Central Government Health Scheme to be phased out
Health Minister ushers in new era of transparency in departmental working.
Beginning September 1, 2014 the doors of 20 Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) wellness centres in Delhi will be thrown open to senior citizens from among the public for free consultation.
Dr Harsh Vardhan, Union Health Minister, unveiled today a pilot project with wide ramifications for the future of public health care. There was wide criticism of the CGHS’ closed door policy towards people in need of medical help who were not family members of central government employees.
This is a pilot project for now. We will see how much demand accrues for the CGHS clinics and the ability of the clinics to handle demand from the general public before extending the service to more people in more cities,” Dr Harsh Vardhan said.
The service for senior citizens will be available on all working days between 1.30 pm and 3 pm. They will however not be given free medicines which is only for central employees.
On his first day in office, Dr Harsh Vardhan had announced that governance in all the outreach departments of the Ministry of Health would be made transparent. Within the first three months, the CGHS has completed a thorough review of its operations with the intention of identifying vulnerable spots which often OFFERscope for corruption.
scope for corruption.
The Minister has ordered that all information regarding medical claims that are pending for more than 30 days be put on the website, http://msotransparent.nic.in/cghsnew/index.asp. Over the years complaints had been piling up over the opaqueness of the process of reimbursing claims.
There were also complaints of CGHS doctors prescribing branded drugs beyond the approved list. Taking all factors into consideration, it has been decided that all beneficiaries and the public at large ought to know which the drugs are on the list and so they will be on view on the above-mentioned website, the Health Minister stated.
Dr Harsh Vardhan reiterated that henceforth only 1,447 generic and 622 branded medicines will be prescribed. Exceptions will be made only for patients suffering from cancer and similar diseases.
Additionally, it has been decided that CGHS beneficiaries will be provided with medicines for a maximum of one month. In case they are going abroad for extended periods, the medicines will be given for three months, he informed.
The CGHS doctors will be forbidden to prescribe investigations or implants that are not listed. A technical committee has been constituted to update the list of medicines, investigations, procedures, implants and other procedures of treatment.
Dr Harsh Vardhan said he is considering broad reforms in all wings of the ministry. “I encourage people, especially the media, to probe our affairs so that over time the employees realize the futility of trying to be corrupt. In addition, I will use information technology to prevent corruption at source.”

Andhra mulls roping in Postal Dept for various govt schemes
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary I Y R Krishna Rao on Saturday emphasised the need to leverage rural post office networks for financial inclusion and delivery of state government releases, including salaries to anganwadi workers and payment of utility bills, among others.
"The utilisation of the rural postal network by the State government should be further explored and expanded," an official release quoted Rao as saying.
He was reviewing the aspect of coordination with the Postal Department for financial inclusion programme of the state government at the Secretariat here.
The Postal Department is already involved in the distribution of wages of NREGS and pensions in 383 mandals out of a total of 661 in the state.
"The department had 8,793 branch post offices and 1,503 sub post offices and 59 head post offices spread across 661 mandals of the state. All of them could be utilised for delivery of all government services and releases to farmers, widows, students and also SHG groups as part of the financial inclusion programme," Rao added.
He said the State Rural Development Department would be asked to give a feed back on the ongoing programmes and the feasibility of utilising the entire postal network in other remaining mandals for a variety of other services and deliveries.
According to the official, the number of other government schemes that could be brought under the postal network were disbursements of the 'Ma Inti Mahalakshmi' scheme, salaries to anganwadi workers, Janani Suraksha scheme of Health department, collection of electricity, water and other bills, municipal taxes, sales tax, etc, payment of scholarships, allowances to the disabled in areas in which their network exists.
Possibility of sale of non-judicial stamp papers through rural post offices involving government schemes like sale of agricultural inputs would also be examined, he added.

Government notifies new pension rules to check delays
In a step aimed at checking harassment of government employees in grant of pension, a head of office will now be responsible for any failure to ascertain non-qualifying service period and will undertake preparation of paper work one year before an employee is due to retire.
According to new pension rules notified by the government, retiring employees will not have to face any delay in determination of pension due to deficiency in application forms and authorities can go ahead with determining the amount of provisional pension and provisional retirement gratuity.
Till now, employees had to run from pillar to post in many cases to get their service record verified.
As per new rules, every head of office shall undertake the work of preparation of pension papers in Form 7 one year before the date on which a government servant is due to retire on superannuation, or on the date on which he proceeds on leave preparatory to retirement, whichever is earlier. Earlier, the time period to undertake such work was two years.
Also, if any portion of service rendered by a government servant is not capable of being verified in the manner specified in rules, then the government servant shall be asked to file a written statement on plain paper within a month, stating that he had in fact rendered service for that period, and shall, at the foot of the statement, make and subscribe to a declaration as to the truth of that statement.
The head of office shall, after taking into consideration the facts in the written statement admit that portion of service as having been rendered for the purpose of calculating the pension of that government servant, it said. The rules, notified on Friday, also fix responsibility on head of office for failure to verify service records of a retiring employees. The head-of-office is responsible for verifying service book of a government servant in a time bound manner.
"If at any time thereafter, it is found that the head of office and other concerned authorities had failed to communicate any non-qualifying period of service, the Secretary of the administrative ministry or department shall fix responsibility for such non-communication," the new rules said.
There are many other provisions in the new rules to remove hurdles faced by a retiring employee or dependent family members (after the employee's death) in processing of pension papers. "If the person eligible for family pension is a minor or is suffering from any disorder or disability of mind or is mentally retarded, the guardian may submit a claim in Form 14 on behalf of such person," the rules said. There are about 50 lakh central government pensioners.
In cases where the pension papers have been returned to the head of office for eliciting further information before issuing pension payment order, the head of office shall rely upon such information as may be available in the official records, and without delay, determine the amount of provisional pension and the amount of provisional retirement gratuity, it said. "If a government servant is found to have given any incorrect information wilfully, which makes him or her entitled to any benefits which he or she is not otherwise entitled to, it shall be construed as a grave misconduct," the rules said.
"The head of office shall write to the Directorate of Estates at least one year before the anticipated date of retirement of the government servant who was or is in occupation of a government accommodation for issuing a 'No demand certificate' in respect of the period preceding eight months of the retirement of the allottee," the rules notified by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions said.
Earlier, the time period for writing to the Directorate of Estates was two years.
