New Delhi-110 001.
Subject : Holding of DPC for promotion to the cadre of
PS Gr. B for vacancy year 2015-16
Respected Sir,
This
Association conveys its sincere thanks for timely processing of the DPC for
promotion of ASPs to PS Group “B” for the vacancy year 2015-16. But, it is learnt that same has been held up for the time being in order
to include resultant vacancies arising out of JTS DPC for the year 2015-16.
Whereas there are laid down provisions to include vacancies arising on account of “promotion” and “chain
vacancies” by keeping approved panel or holding supplementary DPC enabling
department to hold PS Group B DPC
without waiting for the result of JTS DPC.
In this regard, a kind reference is
invited to para-3 of the Department of Posts (Personnel Division) letter
No.25-10/2014-SPG dated 09/07/2014 coupled with para-7 of DOP & T OM
No.22011/9/98-Estt (D) dated 08-09-1998 (copy enclosed) wherein it is provided
that a DPC may take into account all clear expected vacancies by retirement in
the concerned grade as well as chain vacancies on account of retirement etc.
in the higher grades which can be clearly anticipated in the same vacancy
year.
Department of Posts vide Personnel
Division letter dated 09/07/2014 has also issued instructions to percolate the
seniority quota vacancies arising in higher grades in a vacancy year down to
lower cadres/grades and to take into account along with the clear vacancies
arising in a particular grade. Further, as clarified vide Para.4.(II) of the
said letter a Circle will take into account the vacancies arising from HAG to
PS Group-B Cadre in that Circle in a vacancy year as chain vacancies for lower
cadres in addition to existing and anticipated vacancies in the said lower
cadre arising in that vacancy year.
Moreover,
there is also provision for conducting second (supplementary) DPC in accordance
with DOP& T
OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt (D) dated 10-4-89[para 6.4.2(i)] and OM
No.22011/2/2014-Estt (D) dated 30-1-2015 (copy enclosed) for the vacancies
which could not be anticipated at the time of holding the earlier DPC.
Furthermore, As per the DOP & T
guidelines issued from time-to-time, the selected panel is to be kept ready and
to be utilized as and when the vacancies arise during the course of the vacancy
year to ensure timely promotion of the employees. As on 1-8-2015 there are 224 vacancies
available in PS Gr. B cadre. There will be resultant vacancies of the same vacancy
year after holding DPC for promotion to the cadre of JTS Gr. “A” for the
vacancy year 2015-16.
It is
therefore requested to your kind honour to convene PS Group B DPC immediately for the vacancy year 2015-16 so that
our members could get timely promotion against 224 existing vacancies in PS Gr.
B cadre. Supplementary DPC can be held thereafter for resultant vacancies on
account of “promotion” and “chain vacancies” as and when the vacancies arise
during the course of the vacancy year 2015-16.
With profound regards,
Yours
sincerely,
Enc:-As above

Jhaverchand Meghani's birth anniversary : 28th August 2015
"મોર બની થનગાટ કરે, મન મોર બની થનગાટ કરે. ઘનઘોર ઝરે ચહુ ઓર, મારું મન મોર બની થનગાટ કરે. બહુ રંગ ઉમંગનાં પીંછ પસારીને બાદલસું નિજ નેનન ધારીને મેઘમલાર ઉચારીને આકુલ પ્રાણ કોને કલ-સાદ કરે. મારું મન મોર બની થનગાટ કરે." - Poem by Jhaverchand Meghani, originally written by Rabindranath Tagore. (Click here to read full poem in Gujarati with English lyrics and translation)
Jhaverchand Meghani (b. 28 August 1896 - d. 9 March 1947) was a noted poet, writer, social reformer and freedom fighter from Gujarat. He is a well-known name in the field of Gujarati literature. He was born in the police quarters in the outskirts of Chotila village in Saurashtra. His father Kalidas Meghani used to work with the police in British Kathiawar agency police. He finished his matriculation in 1912 and completed his BA in 1917. He started his career in Kolkata and joined Jeevanlal and Co. in 1918 as Personal Assistant and fondly called Paghadee Babu by his colleagues and workers alike. He was soon promoted as the Manager of the company's factory at Belur, Crown Aluminium. In 1919 he went to England for a four-month tour. After coming back to India he continued to work in Kolkata for 2 and half-year. Later he returned to Saurashtra and joined the editorial board of the weekly Saurashtra in 1922.
In 1930, he was sentenced for 2 years in jail for writing the book 'Sindhudo' that contained songs to inspire the youth of India that was participating in the struggle for Independence against the British Raj. It is during this time that he wrote 'Kavya Triputi' based on Gandhiji's visit to London for the round table conference. During this period he also started writing short stories independently and served as editor for 'Phoolchaab' magazine. Mahatma Gandhi gave him the title of Raashtreeya Shaayar (National Poet). Besides this he received many awards like Ranjitram Suvarna Chandrak (1929) and Mahida Paaritoshik (1946) in literature. He authored more than 100 books. His first book was a translation work of Rabindranath Tagore's ballad Kathaa-u-Kaahinee titled Kurbani Ni Katha (Stories of martyrdom) which was first published in 1922. He contributed widely to Gujarati folk literature. He went from village to village in search of folklores and published them in various volumes of Saurashtra Ni Rasdhar. He was also the Editor of Phulchhab Newspaper of Janmabhoomi group (which is being published till date from Rajkot).
Special Covers commemorating Legacy of Le Corbusier – 27th August 2015.
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, who was better known as Le Corbusier (b. October 6, 1887 – d. August 27, 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, and the Americas. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM).
In the 1950s, a unique opportunity to translate the Radiant City on a grand scale presented itself in the construction of the Union Territory Chandigarh, the new capital for the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana and India's first planned city. Le Corbusier designed many administration buildings, including a courthouse, parliament building, and a university. He also designed the general layout of the city, dividing it into sectors.
To mark the 50th death anniversary of legendary architect Le Corbusier and to commemorate legacy of Le Corbusier, who planned Chandigarh, Punjab Postal Circle in association with Chandigarh Administration released two special covers on 27th August 2015 at Chandigarh (Special Cover approval nos. PB/02/2015 and PB/03/2015). Special covers were released by Ms. Achla Bhatnagar, Chief Postmaster General, Punjab Postal Circle and the Adviser to the Administrator, UT, Chandigarh, Mr. Vijay Dev in presence of UT Home Secretary, Mr. Anurag Agarwal and other officers at the function held at Govt. Museum and Art Gallery Sector-10, Chandigarh.

Today (27-8-2015), while ascertaining the present status of
holding of DPC for promotion to the cadre of JTS Gr A for the year 2015-16 at
Directorate, it was told that as on date
following 30 officers APARs are still missing and required at Directorate.

Today (27-8-2015), Directorate has issued email to
CPMsG with a request to send these officers APARs (if original not available,
attested copies of these APARs) or No Report Certificate (NRC) by return post so
that DPC proposal could be submitted to UPSC.

thoroughly, but following officers APARs are not available with them. Directorate
has further pointed out that “informing that these APARs are already sent to
Directorate will further delay the proposal without any positive outcome”.
