Respected Madam,
Sub:     Excluding our IP/ASP cadre from exam invigilation duties due to payment of meager honorarium – reg.

Ref :     The resolution passed in the Circle Working Committee Meeting held at Yarcaud on 29^th October 2010.

The examination process for recruitment of PAs/SAs is under way and our IP/ASP staff will be asked to perform the invigilator/supervisory duties. The examination work is an arduous nature of duty and assigned in addition to ones own work. Mostly the IPs/ASPs are called on Sundays/Holidays for invigilation duty. The IPs & ASPs engaged for such examination duty are being paid honorarium, @ Rs. 20 for a single session and Rs. 40 for a full day.  Paying such a small amount in the name of honorarium is nothing but degrading this cadre. As such the members of this Association are reluctant to perform the examination duties and have some resentment over the issue.

The existing honorarium is fixed during 1972 i.e., nearly four decades ago and the amount being paid is very meager and it is not at all sufficient to compensate, even the traveling expenses. Many times this issue was brought to the notice of the administration but we are sorry to say that it did not evoke any response, which is demoralizing us. A lot of pressure is gradually mounting on members our Association to take up agitational programme.  

            In these circumstances and with the views of all our members, it is decided in the Circle Working Committee meeting of this Association held at Yercaud (Salem) on 29.10.2010 and a resolution has also been passed, to stay away from any such examination invigilation/squad duties on Sundays and holidays. We request your goodself, kindly to EXCLUDE our IP/ASP cadre from invigilation/squad duties.

                                                             With regards.

Yours faithfully,

/S. RAJENDRA BABU/
