VOTE OF THANKS By MANOJ BHARDWAJ, General Secretary ( Elected) on 26 July 2009,Haridwar Honourable president, respacted members of the C.W.C, deligates ,Guests & my collegues ! you have entrusted me with a very stipendous responsibility. My vocebulary is too poor to give full & accurate expression to my deep sense of gratitude to you for the noble gesture & generous favour. However, I most humbly thanks you all in earnest for the trust reposed in me & shall try to do my very best to justify the position bestowed on me, & prove worthy of the trust, placed in me. But this is quite impossible without your cooperation, your guidence & your blessing. Hence, I earnestly seek your fullest cooperation & benign blessing, from you all. I wish to assure you that if we stand togather , united & are well organised, we will be capable of protecting our honour & presitige. This moment, I have completed 10 years of my dedication as Asstt.General Secretary. In July 2000, during Tirupati AIC, I was elected AGS of this association . Today, our supervisors are faced with number of baffling problems which, apart from heavy load of work, include the delicate issue of honour. The post of HSG-I must be conferred with Gazetted status. This will be the primary among my priorities. The VIth pay commission has done grave injustice to our cadre of LSG. Our G.S. registered his aposition to it from his own level. Taking your cooperation for granted, I will take up this issue in all sencerly before the deptt. & ministry concerned. As I came to know that Deptt. is preparing a proposal of creating a sparate cadre of POST MASTERS. This is good news for General line supervisors, through this we can move up the post of Senior Postmaster & Chief Postmaster also. As you are all aware, we are senior people & our number in small. But this is not a matter of concern at all. We are the heads of our families.Depending upon the verying size of our femilies, the number of member in them may be big or small, but the supervisors can not be longe in number. But let us not worry at the smallness of our numerical strangth. We must rather be well organised & strangthen the organisation. For the protection of honour & for the steedy & redressal of our grievances, it is must for us to stand proper & well organised. In several circles, we donot have our units. In several zones, regions we have no associations. I will see that more & more units are formed during this span. We must all relize that the interests of the postal superivisors are secure in the very organisation, and not in the federal unions of postal workers. We are seniors, it is when we put down our signatures that a task is deemed complete. We must recognise our value & importance. I'm wholeheartdly with you. Wherever and whenever you give me a cell, it will be my sincere endeavour to be at your service. Before I close, let me raise a very significant issue before you. We have no funds for our fight. The financial condition of the association is very poor. The fight of our existence is pending in the High court. For that too, we are badly is need of money. I make a earnest & solmn appeal to you all to strengthen the organisation by generous contributions & donations. In the end, I once again offer my wormost & sincere thanks to Mr.K. Kanniappan, Mr.K.Sarvotthaman & you all. At the same time entreating you to forget & forgive the lapses on my part. LONG LIVE AIAPS ! Thanks !
