New Delhi, Feb. 5:
Jawahar Navodaya
Vidyalayas (JNVs), set up to impart quality education to talented
under-privileged children in rural areas, may soon face a crisis, as 24,000
teachers and non-teaching staff have announced plans to go on indefinite strike
from February 6. About 3 lakh children are studying in these schools.
The staff at
these 585 Vidyalayas is reportedly not getting any benefits of a pension
scheme.
A statement by
the All India Navodaya Vidyalaya Staff Association (AINVSA) said the biggest
problem was that employees had been deprived of the benefits of the CCS
(Central Civil Services) Pension 1972. “While the managements of the Central
Tibetan schools, National Open School, IGNOU, NCERT, and other autonomous
bodies have granted the benefits of CCS Pension 1972 to all their employees who
joined before January 2004, Navodaya Vidyalaya teachers remain the only
teachers in the Union Government services without old pension benefits,” it
added.
The protesting
staff members have also called for boycotting the selection test, on the basis
of which students get admission. Over 50 lakh students are expected to take
this test across India on February 10.
The other
demands of the staff include sanctioning of 10 per cent special allowance to
non-teaching staff, enhancement of house-master allowance and formation of
Joint Consultative Machinery.

Like their counterparts elsewhere
in the State, the staff of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Mundali, Cuttack
went on an indefinite strike from Wednesday to press their demand for
implementation of the CCS (Central Civil Service) pension scheme 1972.
The strike has been resorted to in protest against the
“injustice” of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti in depriving the schools’ staff of
the CCS pension scheme.
The strike has affected the teaching-learning process
and the worst hit are the students of Classes 10 and 12, who have to appear at
the CBSE examinations in March.
