Dear Ashok,
Your anxiety about the Training Period of Technical Supervisors is genuine.
But I can assure you that IRTSA has all along been taking up all these issues and we have come a long way in dealing with the basic issues related to the Training period long back in respect of the following aspects:
1. Revision of Stipend after each Pay Commission - for which we had to represent every time.
2. Counting of Training Period for Pension and other Retirement benefits - orders finally issued in 1983.
3. Counting of Training Period for Increments
4. Counting of Training Period as service for LGS
5. Reduction of Training Period (of Diploma Holders) from 3 years to first to 2 years and later as 18 months.
IRTSA has also strongly taken up repeatedly the outstanding cases including those for further
i) Reduction of Training period to One year for Diploma Holders & Intermediate Trainee JEs.
ii) Revision of Stipend & Grade Pay at par with the absorption Grade of JEs.
iii) Counting of Training period for MACP
(Copies of all these Memorandums are available on our website http://www.irtsa.net.
These cases were discussed by me personally with the MS and advisor IR recently and I have been assured that these issues are under active consideration of the Railway Board and it is expected that orders will soon be issued about atleast the first two while the third one (reg MACP will have to be decided by DOP - to whom we have already represented.
I request you all to strengthen IRTSA to enable us to resolve not only the above issues but also other major issues - which will affect your entire careers.
