A Man of Achievement ! Thy name is Dr. Vennam Upender !

Fantastic ! Honoured by Limca Book of
Records for his rare collection of stamps
in Ramayana.
A man of great achievement. That is Dr.
Vennam Upender, IPoS., PMG, Madurai.
He is an Engineering Graduate in
Metallurgy, MBA (Marketing) and then got Ph.D. Not only that, he is a writer,
novelist and a notable Literate.
You must know his other side also. In TN
Postal Circle, there is always hue and cry among the employees, because of
shortage of staff in P.A. cadre despite of annual recruitment upto the year
2015.
We have alleged that there was irregular
assessment of vacancies in many Divisions since the year 2000 due to various
reasons . This issue was taken up in various forums, agitational programmes
continuously by our Union, since the year 2015.
Atlast, while discussing the pending
subject, in the Regional Joint Consultative Machinery meeting held on 28.9.18,
this was accepted by Dr.Vennam Upender , despite of reluctance from many in the
Administrative side.
Finally the long pending request of the
Staff Side was accepted by the CPMG,TN to form a special committee to review
this matter , not only in P.A.cadre, but also in Postmen and in MTS cadre.
As per the request of the Staff side Dr.
Vennam Upender was nominated as the Chairman of the Committee and given time
frame of three months to submit his report.
He has taken this as challenge, discussed
with the staff side representatives in many rounds , collected information
throughout , and submitted his final report sharply before completion of
assigned period of three months.... ie. by 31st Dec.2018.
In his report, he concurred with all the
points raised by the Staff Side and recommended for a thorough review on the assessment
of vacancies in all Divisions throughout Tamil nadu Circle, since the year 2000
and further recommended for a special recruitment from LGO in order to
fill up the vacancies that were left out.
Despite of all these things, no tangible
result received from the Divisions and the Divisional Heads are again and again
submitted the manipulated figures , without taking into account the points put
forth by the committee, so as to sustain their faulty stand.
Dr.Upender again requested the CPMG, TN to order
for a work shop at Postal Training Centre, Madurai for all the Divisions to
reassess the vacancies under his personal supervision.
This was accepted by the CPMG, TN and was
ordered for three days work shop at PTC, Madurai , calling for all the ASP HQs,
Staff & Estt. Clerks of all divisions throughout from TN Postal Circle,
with all connected records from their divisions.
Everything was scrutinised carefully under
his strict personal supervision. The work shop was extended further one day and
atlast about 570 left out vacancies are now unearthed and declared in TN
Circle.
This is a great achievement in his career.
In no other Circle, throughout the Country, this was happened ever.
Being the Secretary of the Staff Side,
RJCM, TN for long, who has raised this issue all along, it is my duty to record
this.
Though he is very gentle and soft in
approach, he is duty conscious, man of dedication , firm in his commitment
!
We must learn many thing from him. He is
Dr. Upender, PMG,Southern Region, TN.
Congrats once again

PRESS NOTE

OF SCHEDULE FOR GENERAL ELECTIONS TO LOK SABHA AND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLIES IN
ANDHRA PRADESH, ARUNACHAL PRADESH, ODISHA & SIKKIM,2019.
The five-year term of the 16th Lok Sabha is due to expire on 03rdJune, 2019. Credible elections, conducted at regular prescribed intervals, are the very soul of any democratic system. Article 324 of the Constitution of India bestows the relevant powers, duties and functions upon the Election Commission of India while Section 14 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 provides for the conduct of the elections to constitute a new Lok Sabha before the expiry of its current term. Taking into account these Constitutional and legal provisions, the Election Commission of India has made comprehensive preparations for the conduct of elections to the 17th Lok Sabha in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
2. Elections to the world’s largest democracy pose immense challenges with respect to logistics and man/woman and material management and Commission's endeavour in this direction has been to consult all the stakeholders,invite inputs from all the relevant departments/organization sand evolve a coordinated framework for smooth delivery of another round of General Elections.
3. In the course of assessing various dimensions involved in holding elections to the 543 Parliamentary Constituencies (PCs) and, in 3 particular,the parameters to be considered for their scheduling and phasing, the Election Commission of India has planned meticulously for each and every aspect of election much in advance to ensure that these elections are conducted in best professional manner.
4. The Commission organized a series of meetings wit hthe Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) of all the 36 States and Union Territories (UTs) to review all the aspects of election preparedness in all the States and UTs and accordingly, appropriate instructions were issued to the CEOs for ensuring efficient conduct of the elections.
5. The Commission also held meeting with the Chief Secretaries, Directors General of Police, Home Secretaries, Chief Electoral Officers and Police Nodal Officers of all States and UTs on 21st, 22nd & 28th January, 2019, to assess the overall law and order situation, as certain State/ UT specific areas of concern,t o deliberate on the quantum of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) required in each State/ UT and to review the overall preparedness of the election machinery. The cooperation of all authorities was sought for conducting free, fair and peaceful elections across the country, under the overall superintendence, direction and control of the Commission.
6. The Commission has visited different States to review the poll preparedness. During these visits,the Commission interacted with political parties, enforcement agencies, all District officers, SSPs/SPs, Divisional Commissioners, Range IGs and Chief Secretaries, Home Secretaries, DGPs and other Senior officers of the States.
7. The conduct of General Elections in the entire country requires considerable deployment of Central and State Police Forces to ensure peaceful, free,fair election with fearless participation of electors, especially in the vulnerable areas/pockets. Mobilization, deployment and disengagement of these forces with minimum criss cross movement and optimal utilization, involved complex planning and detailed analysis, carried out over several rounds of consultations with the senior officers of the Ministry of Home Affairs/CAPFs/Police Nodal Officers of the States/UTs. The Commission also held discussions with the Union Home Secretary to highlight the areas of coordination for effective deployment of these forces.
8. The Commission also held meeting with Railway and many others in regard to the specific requirements of special trains, including other logistics, for smooth and timely movement of CAPF Companies and other police forces across States/UTs, including their intra-State shifting during the election period.
9. Keeping in view the interests of the students and also the fact that Polling Stations are mostly located in school buildings and teachers are engaged as polling personnel, the Commission has consciously factored-in the examination schedules of various State Boards, including the Central Board of Secondary Education, in the process of finalizingthe poll dates. In addition to this, other relevant factors like various holidays and festivals falling in the months of March, April and May, harvest season in certain parts of the country and the inputs obtained from the Indian Meteorological Department on the pre-monsoon rainfall, on set and spread of monsoon and acute hot weather conditions in certain parts of the country have also been taken in to consideration.Thus, while deciding on the number of poll days for each State/UT and the composition of the PCs that go to polls on a particular pollday, the Commission has, to the extent possible, taken all relevant aspects and information, related there to, in to view
