Stalin's announcements for government employees welcomed
Tamil Nadu Revenue Officials Association, welcoming the Tamil Nadu government's nine announcements for government employees, said that it had restored the faith on the DMK government.
As it was said that the Earned Leave surrender system would be restored as early as October 1 this year, the decision would benefit about eight lakh government employees and teachers, said TNROA's statement.
Other announcements such as increase in festival advance from ₹10,000 to ₹20,000, increase in education advance to ₹1 lakh for professional programmes and ₹50,000 for arts and science and polytechnic programmes, would also be beneficial to government employees, it added.
The statement welcomed the announcement that a committee to look into the Old Pension Scheme, Contributory Pension Scheme and Unified Pension Scheme would be constituted.
The association has urged the State government to revoke the G.O. which dilutes the procedure of providing jobs on compassionate grounds to heirs of staff who died in harness.
