MACP JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING AND DECISIONS – CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
The joint Committee set up by the National Anomaly Committee to consider the MACP related issues met on 27th July, 2012. The Staff Side was represented at the meeting by the following comrades:
Com. M. Raghaviah
Com. Umraomal Purohit
Com. S.K. Vyas
Com. C. Srikumar
Com. K.K.N. Kutty
Com. Shivgopal Misra
Com. Bhosle
The report prepared by the sub-committee after three rounds of discussions was reviewed at the meeting. The points that came up for discussion and the decisions taken are as under:
Grant of MACP in the promotional hierarchy: The Staff Side pointed out that the ACP which was in vogue till the advent of MACP had been on promotional hierarchy. In the name of improvement of the scheme, the Government cannot unilaterally change it, especially when the concerned employees do not consider it as advantageous. They suggested that the employees must be allowed to retain the ACP for the first two promotions and for the third promotion MACP can be extended. However, the Official Side said that it would not be possible to have any hybrid scheme. In fact, they added that the 6th CPC had suggested for two career progressions only and that too on grade pay hierarchy. The govt. had improved upon and therefore it was not possible for them to agree for the suggestion of the Staff Side. They also stated that the reason for bringing about grade pay hierarchy was to bring about uniformity in the scheme across the Departments as the promotional hierarchy varies from one department to another. They declined to consider the suggestion for promotional hierarchy based MACP.
Central Government employees threaten to go on strike
Central government employees and workers today threatened to observe a daylong strike on December 12 if their charter of demands such as setting up of the seventh pay commission is not addressed "expeditiously".
The employees, who participated in 'march to Parliament' programme here under the banner of confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers hoped the Prime Minister, to whom a memorandum containing their charter of demands has been submitted, would "consider and settle the issues within a reasonable time frame".

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.
.jpg)
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.
