DON'T BE MISLED - FALSE NEWS, HERE IS TRUTH! Following email from Com.S.S.Manjunath answers our queries:
Dear Com.Mahadevaiah,
Good evening. As I was on my tour to Tirupati my phone was switched for about 8 hours.
I am to clear your doubt about Karwar divisional conference held recently. It was a JOINT CONFERENCE OF P-III and P-IV. I attended both open session and the subject committee meetings. Reportedly AIGDSU had their working committee meeting somewhere in Kumta as I remember. Some members came and met me and invited me to their conference.
FROM THE WEB ONLY I CAME TO KNOW THAT THERE WAS A MOVE TO FORM ANOTHER UNION FOR GDS AT KARWAR. I AM NOT THERE IN THE PHOTO, YOU MAY OBSERVE. By this you may guess that in the usual manner a FEW GULLIBLE G.D.S are fallen prey to the tricks of those trying to spoil GDS UNITY.
ONE THING I MAKE IT VERY CLEAR NOW. I AM FOR TOTAL UNITY ALWAYS AND OFFER MY SERVICE FOR THE CAUSE OF GDS AS WELL AS DEPARTMENTAL STAFF DISPASSIONATELY. IN THE CIRCLE CONFERENCE ALSO I HAD REQUESTED COM.KRISHNAN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET EVERYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF GDS. GDS EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT BE EXPLOITED BY THE UNIONS. WE SHOULD BE CLEAR IN MIND AND SOUL. WE CANNOT CHEAT OUR OWN STAFF WHO ARE OUR MASTERS. WE SHOULD DEVIATE FROM THE TRUE SPIRIT ENSHRINED IN OUR UNION CONSTITUTION.
WE HAVE BEEN TRYING HARD ALL ALONG TO PROTECT THE INTEREST OF GDS AND WORKING SELFLESSLY FOR THEM. YOU ALSO DO THE SAME THING WITHOUT ANY BOTHERATION ABOUT FORMATION OF NEW UNIONS UNDER ANY BANNER.
COMMON G.D.S IS THE BEST JUDGE. HE/SHE KNOWS WHAT IS WHAT. NO NEED TO TEACH THEM, THEY KNOW WHO IS REALLY WORKING FOR THEM.
YOU WORK WITH DETERMINATION, SINCERITY AND ALSO STRIVE FOR UNITY. EVEN A SINGLE G.D.S SHOULD NOT BE ALOOF FROM YOUR STRUGGLE. I am confident that the ideal will be a reality soon!
It is really pathetic situation, now observed, never in the entire history. ONCE it was administration DIVIDING staff. NOW IT IS UNIONS!
HAVE BELIEF IN YOUR STRENGTH, MOVE FORWARD WITH COURAGE AND DETERMINATION. ALL WILL GO WELL.
With warm Greetings,
Comradely yours,
- S.S.MANJUNATH, Adviser from Karnataka.

A New Programme of Financial Inclusion - opportunity to Gramin Dak Sevaks
A New Programme of Financial Inclusion -
opportunity to Gramin Dak Sevaks -- NEWS
Government to Launch A New Program of Financial
Inclusion in Mission Mode to Provide Households with Facilities of Savings,
Credit, Remittances, Insurance and Pension: FM
The Union Finance Minster
Shri Arun Jaitley said that the Government is going to launch a new program of Financial
Inclusion in Mission Mode which will provide households with facilities of
savings, credit, remittances, insurance and pension among others. He said that
this is a marked shift from earlier effort where only opening of account was
the focus of the financial inclusion drive. The Finance Minister Shri Jaitley
was speaking after holding a meeting with theChief Executive Officers (CEOs) of
Public Sector Banks (PSBs) and Financial Institutions(FIs) here today.
The meeting was attended
among others by Shri G.S. Sandhu, Secretary, Department of Financial Services,
Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, Ms. Snehlata Shrivastva, Additional
Secretary, Department of Financial Services, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of
Public Sector Banks and Financial Institutions and senior officers of Ministry
of Finance.
The Finance Minister Shri
Jaitley further said that this time the Government is targeting the individual
households rather than the village. He said that there are 7.5 crore households
in the country who do not have bank account so far. The Finance Minister said
that the Government is targeting that every village should get a banking
facility within a reasonable distance and that every household should have at
least one bank account within the time frame of one year. This is a big
challenge and there are several difficulties like lack of connectivity and
infrastructure facilities etc, the Minister added.
The Finance Minister Shri
Jaitley said that in our country where we have very low levels of financial
literacy, it is essential that people understand the importance of availing
financial services which will enable them to participate in the growth story.
Therefore, financial literacy will receive a special emphasis in this new
programme of financial inclusion, the Minister added.
The Finance Minister Shri
Jaitley said that technology has made rapid strides in recent times and,
therefore, the Government must use technology, especially mobile based services
in a big way to achieve the desired results. The Government has integrated
provisions of access to banking facilities, account opening, financial
literacy, credit availment, micro insurance and pension, the Minister added.
The Financial Inclusion
Mission has two phases starting from 15thAugust this year. The first
phase will get over by 14thAugust, 2015 and the second Phase by 14thAugust,
2018. Most of the activities will be done in Phase – I and insurance and
pension would be covered in Phase – II.
The Finance Minister Shri Jaitley added that the previous efforts
did not involve the State Government and District administration. He said that
this time the State Governments have been requested to achieve this ambitious
task. There would be State level and District level Committees to monitor the
progress under the plan, the Minister stated.
The Finance Minister Shri Jaitley said that there was no pull
factor in the earlier campaign where people could demand access of banking
facilities in their villages. He added that under the Mission, there would be
awareness generation amongst the people so that they can ask for opening of
their bank accounts by the banks and the business correspondents.
The Finance Minister Shri Jaitley stated that in the past, the Know
Your Customer (KYC) process was very cumbersome. This has now been eased and
the e-KYC facility has been introduced in the banks.
