7th CPC recommends that Heads of NDC, NDA and DSSC institutions should be upgraded to Apex Scale

7th Pay Commission has recommended CGWB Technical Operator (Drilling) be given GP 1900 and be combined with the post of Compressor

National Academies

The Commission has received a number of demands from both the civilian and defence employees that the heads of National Academies should be upgraded to Apex Scale.

The Commission finds merit in upgrading only the heads of tri-services institutions of the defence forces. Accordingly, it is recommended that the heads of the following three tri- services institutions should be upgraded to Apex Scale:

a.   National Defence College (NDC), New Delhi

b.  National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, Pune

c.   Defence Services Staff College (DSSC), Wellington

Only those  officers should  be posted  as  heads  of these establishments  who have minimum two years of service left before superannuation. No extension in service should be granted based on these recommendations.
