Haryana to merge dist health
societies Rohtak, March 27 The proposed society will function as an entity facilitating the flow of funds, relatively free of the rigid government financial procedures, and undertaking activities planned by it and approved by the competent authority. Interestingly, the Ambala and Yamunanagar districts have been excluded from the new scheme for unspecified reasons. At present, in response to the demands from the Government of India and donors, multiple health agencies exist in each district (the District Leprosy Society, District Blindness Control Society, District Malaria Society, District TB Society, District AIDS Control Society etc) which may not have much management or technical skills. “There is no logic in preserving these societies as independent entities. It has been decided to merge all existing societies,” the Financial Commissioner and Secretary, Health Department, told the Deputy Commissioners while advising them to get the new societies registered under the Societies Registration Act. The proposed society will be expected to plan, coordinate, and manage local services according to the need of the community, and planning and resources available to it. It may receive the ongoing consultancy and institutional support and has been granted special status by the state government in regard to the identified and the agreed areas of authority and expenditure. Thus, the proposed District Health and Family Welfare Society will be expected to undertake management functions rather than merely being a funds-flow mechanism. It will involve the private sector, including the NGOs, Lions and Rotary clubs and private practitioners and will generate additional resources to supplement those available from the state and Centre. The society will have two main bodies — the Governing Council and the Executive Body. The Deputy Commissioner will be the Chairman of the Governing Council with the Chief Medical Officer as Secretary and the executive body will be headed by the Chief Medical Officer. |

Haryana relaxation for
retrenched staff Chandigarh, March 27 An official press note said instructions issued today by the Haryana Chief Secretary to all heads of the departments stated that a decision to this affect was taken by the government on humanitarian grounds. The press note added that the age relaxation would be admissible to all categories retrenched employees subject to their fulfilling of prescribed qualifications for the relevant posts. Due weightage would be given to experience, it said even while adding that the scope for absorption of such employees in other government departments would be “very limited”. The press release said a roster of names of the retrenched employees would be maintained by the Employment Department. The state government or its organisations will intimate the Employment Department before filling any vacant post while also inviting applications in accordance with the prescribed procedure. The Employment Department would sponsor names out of the roster of those who would fulfil prescribed qualifications and experience for the requisitioned post. Sponsoring of names by the Employment Department would, however, not confer any legal right on the person for appointment against the requisitioned post. It said if there was any surplus employee in any state public sector or cooperative sector undertaking, he or she would be dealt with in accordance to the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, applicable for retrenchment as well as payment of retrenchment compensation. An employee to whom the Industrial Disputes Act does not apply, his or her retrenchment on being declared surplus will be in accordance to the terms and conditions of the employment.

Selection of teachers upheld Chandigarh, March 27 The main contention of the petitioners was that the directions issued by the High Court in Kuldeep Singh Rawat’s case were not followed and there was no proper criteria for the selection. However, the Judges observed that it was apparent from the criteria that had been placed on record that out of 100 marks only 30 marks were for interview and the rest of the marks went to educational qualification higher qualification, experience, distinction in sports/cultural activities. This, according to the bench, was a valid criteria to be adopted to select suitable and the best candidates. |

ESI to make use of photos mandatory Faridabad, March 27 Stating this, the Regional Director of the ESI, (Haryana), Mr B.C. Bhardwaj, said here today that the ESI would not entertain any application which was not accompanied with photographs of the applicant and his family members. He said this was done in view of the problems faced by the corporation in dealing with the claims of compensation and “misuse” of the medical scheme by unauthorised persons. He said without the photographs of the applicant and his family members, it was difficult to identify the real claimant or his kin. He said several cases of unauthorised persons taking benefit of the medical scheme had been detected. He said the ESI would also demand a family photograph from the applicants, as is done in the case of ration cards. He said this would also help in avoiding duplicacy of the ESI cards and curb the misuse of the scheme. He said to further improve the service, the ESI would go in for computerisation in the near future. He said while a main data bank system would be developed, the corporation proposed to link every local office with the regional one. |
