The 31st SCOVA meeting is scheduled to be held on 06.09.2019 under the Chairmanship of Hon’ble MOS(PP). In the agenda of the meeting, an issue regarding non acceptance of the revised dependency criteria for sanction of family pension by some Railway divisions & Workshops has been raised. Another issue regarding non­-acceptance of self declaration of income by claimant in case of private employment has also been raised.

2. In this regard, it is stated that in terms of the extant provisions contained in the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993 and instructions issued thereunder, the dependency criteria for the purpose of family pension shall be the minimum pension along with dearness relief thereon.

In pursuance of Government ‘s decision on the recommendation of the 7th CPC, minimum family pension with effect from 1.1.2016 is Rs. 9000/- per month. Therefore, dependency criteria for the purpose of family pension shall be Rs. 9000/- and dearness relief thereon.

3. Further, Railway Board ‘s letter No. F(E)III/98/PN 1/4 dated 9.9.1999 (RBE-229/99), vide which DOPPW’s O.M dated 21.7.1999 has been forwarded, para (ii) stipulates that income certificate as stipulated is required to be insisted upon before authorizing Family Pension to eligible sons and daughters (including widowed/divorced daughters) and dependent parents.

In case these beneficiaries are self-employed or in receipt of income from sources other than employment, Income Certificates furnished by the concerned beneficiaries themselves may be accepted for the purpose.

4. The aforesaid rules may strictly be adhered to, so as to see that no inconvenience is faced by the family pensioners.

This issues with the concurrence of F(E) Directorate, Ministry of Railways.

NISHTHA Website, Training Modules, Primer Booklet and a Mobile App

Union HRD Minister launches NISHTHA to build capacities of 42 Lakh government teachers across the country

NISHTHA is the world’s largest teachers’ training programme of its kind in the world: Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’

Union Human Resource Development Minister Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ launchedthe National Mission to improve Learning Outcomes at the Elementary level- NISHTHA, National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement at Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi today.During the programme, NISHTHA Website, Training Modules, Primer Booklet and a Mobile App were also launched by the Minister.

Speaking on the occasionthe HRD Minister said that this is the largest teachers’ training programme of its kind in the world. Giving further details, the Minister said that the basic objective of this massive training programme ‘NISHTHA’ is to motivate and equip teachers to encourage and foster critical thinking in students.

He said that teachers will get awareness and develop their skills on various aspects related to Learning Outcomes, Competency Based Learning and Testing, Learner-centered Pedagogy, School Safety and Security, Personal-social qualities, Inclusive Education, ICT in teaching-learning including Artificial Intelligence, Health and well-being including yoga, Initiatives in School Education including library, eco club, youth club, kitchen garden, School Leadership qualities, Environmental Concerns, Pre-school, Pre-vocational Education and School Based Assessment in a joyful learning manner.

The teachers are the powerhouse of the nation and they must be of the highest quality, the Minister elaborated. He further said that it is the Prime Minister’s dream that the quality of our teachers should be such that they should command worldwide respect.

Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ disclosed that this training programme has been included as one of the two transformative ideas from this Department for the 100 days programme of the Government.

This integrated programme aims to build the capacities of around 42 lakh participants covering all teachers and Heads of Schools at the elementary level in all Government schools, faculty members of State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs), District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) as well as Block Resource Coordinators and Cluster Resource Coordinators in all States and UTs.

Shri Pokhriyal highlighted that the initiative is first of its kind wherein standardized training modules are developed at national level for all States and UTs. However, States and UTs can contextualize the training modules and use their own material and resource persons also, keeping in view the core topics and expected outcomes of NISHTHA.

The Minister informed that the training will be conducted directly by 33120 Key Resource Persons (KRPs) and State Resource Persons (SRP) identified by the State and UTs, who will in turn be trained by 120 National Resource Persons identified from National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), KendriyaVidyalayaSangathan (KVS), NavodayaVidyalayaSamiti (NVS), Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Non-Government Organisations.

It was observed that the expectation from teachers in the present day is different and includes many new attributes. Teachers today are also expected to be aware of the provisions regarding Gender, The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The integrated programme therefore seeks to train all heads and teachers as first level counsellors to be alert and responsive to the needs of the students, in addition to promoting joyful learning and taking special care of the requirements of special children.

The prominent features of this integrated programme are activity based modules including educational games and quizzes, Social-emotional learning, motivational interactions, team building, preparation for school based assessment, in-built continuous feedback mechanism, online monitoring and support system, training need and impact analysis (Pre and Post training).

In order to enhance professional development of teachers, special emphasis has been given on design and development of training modules. The training Modules for NISHTHA have been developed through a consultative process involving the suggestions from the States and UTs and CBSE, KVS, NVS, School Principals and Non-Governmental Organizations, such as Kaivalya Foundation, Tata Trust, Azim Premji Foundation and Aurobindo Society.

This mega capacity building programme has been integrated with technology to ensure smooth facilitation, availability of digital content and technology enabled teaching methods to support the teachers. A Mobile App and Learning Management System (LMS) based on MOODLE (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) have been developed by NCERT (https://nishtha.ncert.gov.in/). LMS will be used for registration of Resource Persons and Teachers, dissemination of resources, training gap and impact analysis, monitoring, mentoring and measuring the progress online.

In order to ensure sustainable impact on classroom transactions, this integrated training programme is embedded with post training interventions including provision of mentoring.

After the completion of KRP training, National Resource Persons will regularly be in touch with KRPs through WhatsApp/Facebook groups etc and will form Quality Circles that will work to share ideas, challenges and their solutions and best practices.

This will help in building pedagogical skills and connecting with peers, thereby leading to improvement in learning outcomes of the students.

The programme was launched by in the presence of Smt Rina Ray, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy and other senior officers from MHRD, all States and UTs, Senior Policy Makers and Heads of Institutions.

Children Education Allowance for Central Government Employees – An Overview

August 27, 2019 by Admin

Children Education Allowance for CG Employees – An Overview

7TH PAY COMMISSION AND INDIAN GOVERNMENT DECISION ON CHILDREN EDUCATION ALLOWANCE

One of the most anticipated hike in the allowance of CEA by Central Government employees, but 7th Pay Commission has recommended the allowance would continue as CEA Rs. 2250 pm per child and Hostel subsidy Rs. 6750 pm per child.

And the allowance will continue to be double for differently abled children. And the commission has strongly object to extend the allowance beyond Class XII.

Rate of Children Education Allowance (CEA) has been increased from Rs. 1500 per month / child (max. 2) to Rs. 2250 per month / child (max.2). Hostel Subsidy will also go up from Rs. 4500 per month to Rs. 6750 per month. Annual amount of CEA for the academic year 2017-18 will be Rs. 24750 and Hostel Subsidy will be Rs. 74250.

CEA an Overview: (Child education allowance in 7th Pay Commission)

The Children Education allowance was introduced w.e.f. 1-9-2008 on the basis of the recommendation of 6th CPC.

In the background of escalation of school fees, and other expenses connected with education of Children, the present scheme has been a big relief for the Government employees.

Presently the allowance is admissible for two children, for studying in a recognized school upto XII standard.

The maximum ceiling is stipulated at Rs.18000/- since this allowance had been hiked by 50% because of the DA component in salary having been crossed 100% on 1.1.2014.

We suggest doubling of this allowance and increasing the same by 50 % whenever the DA crosses over by 50%

Procedure of Reimbursement: The commission also recommended that the simplification of procedure for reimbursement. For CEA, a certificate from the head of institution where the ward of government employee studies should be sufficient for this purpose.

The certificate should confirm that the child studied in the school during the previous academic year.

The insistence of receipt for each and every expense to claim the allowance is a cumbersome procedure, which serves no purpose at all.

In order to avoid a probable misuse, the employer may be asked to produce an affidavit to the effect this child/children were bonafide student of the school. The production of receipt may be dispensed with.

We also suggest that the scheme may be extended to cover children studying for Graduate/Post Graduate and Professional courses.

This suggestion is being made in view of the huge expenses involved for the children’s higher studies, especially in the background of the Government with from higher education sector and allowing private institutions to come up and extract exorbitant changes for courses.

Since the quantum of allowance is fixed with a ceiling on maximum, our suggestion increase the coverage.
