Join work or lose pay, revenue staff told
He said mass leave applications will not be entertained and salaries will be withheld under the 'no work, no pay' policy if employees fail to rejoin duty. Collectors have been instructed to cancel any leave already granted.
The strike, which began on Monday, has affected work at the district-level in tehsils and other offices.
The Revenue Employees' Association is demanding, among other things, cadre restructuring, inclusion of all revenue staff under pay level 9, an increase in health insurance coverage to Rs 20 lakh, time-bound promotions every four years, and restoration of the old pension scheme.
The minister clarified that cadre restructuring falls under the purview of the General Administration department, and a decision is awaited. He stressed that taking mass leave without waiting for this decision is unacceptable.

PM Modi launches Rs 1 lakh crore Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, to create 3.5 crore jobs
New Delhi: In a significant Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the Rs one lakh crore Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, a nationwide employment initiative aimed at transforming job opportunities for India's youth. 'There is big news for the youth of the country,' PM Modi declared from the Red Fort. 'On this day, we are starting and implementing a scheme of Rs 1 lakh crore for the youth of my country,' he said. The scheme, effective from August 15, is designed to incentivise both first-time employees and private sector employers. Under the initiative, any young person securing their first job in the private sector will receive Rs 15,000 directly from the government. 'The son or daughter who gets their first job will be given Rs 15,000 by the government,' PM Modi announced, emphasising the scheme's role in easing the transition into formal employment. To further stimulate job creation, companies that generate sustained employment will be rewarded with financial incentives. Employers hiring additional staff will be eligible for up to Rs 3,000 per month per new employee, with extended benefits for the manufacturing sector. The scheme is expected to create approximately 3.5 crore new jobs over the next two years, with 1.92 crore beneficiaries entering the workforce for the first time. The Ministry of Labour & Employment, in collaboration with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), will oversee implementation. PM Modi framed the initiative as a cornerstone of the Viksit Bharat mission, aimed at building a developed and inclusive India by 2047. 'This is my gift to the youth -- a double Diwali celebration,' he said, promising economic empowerment and national progress. With its dual focus on youth and enterprise, the Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana marks one of the most ambitious employment-linked reforms in recent years. As registration opens, millions of young Indians and businesses are expected to benefit from this transformative push toward job-led development.

Private schools file contempt plea against TN over pending RTE reimbursement
CHENNAI: With the funds under the Right to Education (RTE) Act pending for the past two academic years, an association of private schools has filed a contempt petition in the Madras High Court against the state government. According to the petition filed by the School Voice Association, though the HC, in September 2024, had directed the state government to settle the per-child expenditure payable to private schools within 12 weeks from the date of receipt of the order, the fund is yet to be released. Under the RTE Act, 25% of seats in all private state board schools are reserved for children from economically weaker sections, with the government paying their fees with the help of Samagra Shiksha (SS) funds. The TN government has not issued the RTE admission notification for 2025-26, citing the non-release of Rs 2,152 crore by the centre for 2024-25. Over 10 lakh students are currently studying in 9,854 private schools under RTE quota. Private school associations estimate the annual reimbursement amounts to be around Rs 550 crore. With no fund for two years and no clarity on RTE admissions or reimbursements, many schools have begun exerting pressure on parents of students studying under RTE to pay full fees. 'My son is in Class 7 at a mid-range private school in the city. Every year, the school asks us to pay Rs 15,000 for books and other expenses. Now, they are demanding an additional Rs 50,000 as full fees for the year, and have warned that they will not issue books for the second term if we fail to pay,' said a 45-year-old parent, working as a two-wheeler mechanic. He urged the government to instruct schools to refrain from pressurising parents and ensure dues are released at the earliest.
