NON-IMPLEMENTATION OF DDM PACKAGE - LETTER BY GS

The Chairman
NABARD , Head Office

Mumbai

Dear Sir,

Non Revision/Implimentation of DDMs Package

NABARD has got District Offices across the country which are functional from Residence-Cum-Office (RCO) of our DDMs. The officers posted at the districts are required to function and carry out NABARD's mandate under trying circumstances. Nonetheless, over the years our DDMs' offices have not only carried out the duties and responsibilities assigned to them but have also created a niche for themselves and this endeavor of NABARD has been highly acclaimed by the GoI, State Governments and other related partners to rural development.

Sir, the RCO concept is a unique business model which is being practiced only by NABARD even among the PSUs , leave aside the FIs. It is effective , efficient and enormously economical for the organisation. Our Officers have risen to the occasion and call of the duty on this aspect too and have effectively manned the institution of DDMs' office. As such it becomes the corporate and moral responsibility of the management to proactively cater to the genuine needs and aspirations of the DDMs.

NBOA, has been fervently requesting and persuading the bank for revision of DDMs off-wage package. During the various discussions held with Chairman , MD and ED (HRMD) of the bank the issue was discussed threadbare and all the senior executives have agreed to this the genuineness of this demand of ours. In fact, a committee was constituted and its recommendations were provided to the HRMD-PPD. Subsequently, on the instructions of the MD, office-bearers of NBOA sat with HRMD officials and the DDM package was finalised as per mutual consultation. NBOA was promised that the DDM package shall be implemented expeditiously in the year 2009-10 itself. However, inspite of our repeated reminders we have been getting only promises and assurances on the issue since last 18 months or so.

We , therefore , earnestly request you to favourably intervene in the matter and get the revised DDMs package see the light of the day without any further delay. THANKING YOU

Yours Sincerely,

(Dr.D.S.Chauhan)
