The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs,chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the proposal for opening of 50 new KendriyaVidyalayas (KVs) under Civil / Defence Sector in the country keeping in view the high demand for these schools for their quality of education and excellent results.

The total project cost based on KendriyaVidyalayaSangathan (KVS) norms for the proposed 50 new KVs is Rs.1160 crore.

New KVs will be opened from classes I to V for which 650 regular posts shall be created in all 50 KendriyaVidyalayas. The school grows every year with addition of one more higher class and, when the school grows upto class XII and becomes a full fledged school with two sections in each class, there shall be a requirement of about 4000 regular posts of various categories i.e., about 2900 teaching posts and about 1100 non-teaching posts. These new KVs when fully functional will provide quality education to approximately 50,000 students in addition to the approximately 12 lakh students already studying in present KVs.

The new KVs will address the educational needs of eligible students with high quality standards and will play a role of pace-setting educational institutions in the districts concerned.

Background:

The main objective of KVS is to cater to the educational needs of children of transferable Central Government employees including Defence and Para-military personnel by providing a common programme of education. There are at present 1142 functional KendriyaVidyalayas under the KVS including three abroad at Moscow, Kathmandu and Tehran.

The KendriyaVidyalayas are considered as model schools in the country in terms of physical infrastructure, teaching resources, curriculum and academic performance. KendriyaVidyalayas as pace setting schools have consistently turned out excellent academic performance as is evident from the Board Results of Class X and XII exams conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

Enhancement of superannuation retirement age of KV teachers to be at par with retirement age of University teachers : –

The subject has been taken as a discussion point in the JCM meeting of KVS held on 25.7.2012 at New Delhi. The point has been raised by the AIKVTA, the superannuation age of University teachers has been enhanced to 65 years and that of the teachers working under NCT Delhi Administration have been enhanced to 62 years. The demand for enhanced superannuation age of KV teachers was approved by the KVS BOG albeit alongwith such proposal for employees of KVS as a whole, MHRD did not approve the proposal forwarded by KVS. Thus KVS tricked the KV teachers by forwarding the approval of BOG for enhancement of superannuation age of all employees of KVS (not specifically for KV teachers) which has no precedence for age enhancement in any other department under GOI.

KVs are struggling for filling the vacancies of teachers and quality teachers with vast experience may immensely benefit KV students simultaneously as KVS may gain financially if good numbers of teachers who are due for retirement in coming two years are retained. Retirement age of KV teachers should be enhanced to 65 years as has been done for University teachers.

Comments of the KVS : The matter pertaining to enhancement of retirement age of KVS teaching and Non-teaching category of employees from 60 to 62 years was placed before the Board of Governors.KVS in its 82 meeting held on 19.02.2009. Thereafter, KVS vide its letter dated 21.04.2009 mooted a proposal to the MHRD to consider the enhancement of retirement age of the employees of KVS from 60 to 62 years. The MHRD after examining of the proposal of KVS, vide their letter dated 27-05- 2009 has communicated that there is no need to introduce any variations in retirement age between KVS employees and Central Govt employees.

As regards, the claim of the association of stated enhancement of retirement age of NCT of Delhi teachers from 60 to 62 years, from the papers submitted by the association it may be ascertained that the NCT of Delhi has reportedly permitted the re-employment of teachers upto the age of 62 years. The association thus, may submit the fully convincing supporting documents in favour of their claim of enhancement of retirement age of teachers under NCT of Delhi and other similar organizations. KVS would take up the matter with the Governing Ministry soon after JCM.

Decision / Recommendation : After detailed deliberation on the matter from both sides the Chairperson decided that no parity can be held between the University teachers and KV teachers as well. Also it cannot be compared with other State Government teaching employees. Hence the demand of association does not appear to be acceptable.

Restoration of 10 days Earned Leave along with 20 days Half Pay Leave for KV Teachers : The main issue was pointed out by the AIKVTA in the JCM meeting as “GOI has restored the provision of 20 days Half Pay Leave (P.A) for teachers (Who are vocational staff) as per recommendations of 6th CPC. However, simultaneously the earlier provision of 10 days Earned Leave p.a. has been withdrawn. This has terminated a facility granted to teachers after long struggle, 10 days Earned Leave should be granted to KV teachers alongwith 20 days HPL as per recommendations of 6th CPC or at least it should be restored as was earlier to 6th CPC.

Comment of KVS : KVS is an autonomous organisation under Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India, the Government of India and the Govt. of India Rules as framed time to time through various Pay Commissions etc. These rules are extendable to its employees mutatis-mutandis.
The present order is based on GOI circular No.13013/2/2008-Estt.(L) dated 11th November, 2008 issued on the recommendations of 6th CPC. Hence, restoration of 10 days EL alongwith 20 days HPL p.a. for teachers is not feasible as per CCS (Leave) Rules.

Decision/Recommendation : The order is issued based on recommendations of 6th Pay Commission; hence the demand for restoration of 10 days Earned Leave in addition to 20 days HPL was not accepted.

Comments of KVS : The matter for extending CGHS facilities to all the KVS employees was taken up by the Sangathan with the Director, CGHS and the have informed that the matter was referred to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and who has opined that it is the policy of the Government not to extend facilitites to new category of beneficiary but consolidate only to those available to existing ones. KVS has pursued the matter with the Director, UT-II Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India, New Delhi so  many times requesting the Ministry of HRD to reconsider the decision. But the same has been denied, though effort are still being made. However, the Sangathan will once again take up the matter with Ministry of Health through the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India to reconsider their decision and CGHS authorities has intended their inability to extend the scheme to any concerned group due to constraints of man power etc. vide letter dated 27.6.2012.
