Let's unify/ organise all the DRDO Scientists.

DRDO Scientists Association (DSA) is striving for

Ø Continuation of Two Additional Increments

Ø Continuation of Variable Increments

Ø NFU for DRDS Scientists

Ø PRIS for DRDO

 Other demands of DSA include

Ø DRDS should be declared as Organised Central Group ‘A’ Service.

Ø DRDS cadre review should be completed at the earliest.

Ø DRDO Scientists should be exempted from NPS and ensure defined pension to all including those joined after 1^st January 2004.

Ø Count the Special Pay of Rs.4000 granted to Scientists ‘G’ for the purposes of pensionary benefits. Implement the recommendations of Raksha Mantri’s Committee of Experts Report.

Ø Deferred Promotion system should be extended in promotions from Scientist ‘F’ to Sc ‘G’ and from Scientist ‘G’ to Sc ‘H’(OS) as implemented in promotions from Scientist ‘H’(OS) to DS.

The Constitution and Memorandum of Association of DRDO Scientists Association (DSA) submitted to DRDO Hqrs were prepared by professionals with the help of Advocates fulfilling recognition conditions as per CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993. If still any amendments are required, you are welcome to propose.

From a mere ‘petitioning organisation’, our Association should grow into a vibrant leading force amongst the Central Govt. Officers for which whole hearted support of entire DRDS fraternity is required.

We should raise demands, pursue them organisationally, and on the strength of programme of action carried out, we persuade and negotiate with Govt. It is a time consuming process, but we are convinced that there is no alternative to programme of action which demonstrates the backing for the demands raised.

To sell dreams, no Association is required. Association is required to change the unchangeable, to fight for getting just treatment, to fight against injustice.

We know that mere rising of queries under RTI Act, submission of memorandum to any committee or Govt, filing of court cases etc. will not bring about desired results. To achieve demands, we will have to educate and mobilise Scientists, prepare them for programme of actions in a sustained manner.

We don’t want to give false promises, we prepare our Scientists to live with dignity and security and fight for it.

 On behalf of the present body, we invite you all to take over the leadership of the Association for effective resolution of grievances of Scientists. DSA is ready to merge unconditionally with any other Association working for the redressal of the grievances of DRDS anywhere in DRDO as per recognition rules.

 Confederation of Central Government Gazetted Officers' Organisations (CCGGOO) etc. will be always with us in all our endeavours for improvement of service conditions.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, you are requested to take over the DSA and continue to function as per recognition rules for the betterment of service conditions of DRDS fraternity.
