QUERY BY A SUB. MAJ. OF MES (DRAUGHTSMAN CADRE )-
RAISED DURING A SAINIK SAMMELAN.

The JCO, a Sub Maj of MES (Draughtsmen cadre) stood up and stated
that a SM gets a grade pay of Rs 4800/- and on being promoted he is
appointed as a Chief Draughtsman up from a Sr Dtmn subedar (GP-4200/-).
As against this, a MES civilian draughtsman, who reaches a GP of 4200/- is
appointed to the rank of an AAD (Asst Arch Dir).Now this civilian AAD
dines in the officers' mess with offrs while the Sub Maj cannot.
(The AAD is equallant to an AE (Asst Engr)).The AAD lines up along with
the other officers to recieve a VIP, sits for offrs' conferences and attends
the weekly offrs tea in the office.What is even more irritating for the
Sub Maj is that while the fauji draughtman is a college diploma holder,
the civilian counterpart is taken in from the ITI (Industrial Trg Institute).
This situation has been on for donkeys years in an organisation headed
by a fauji and as the wizened JCO smirked, saab, you all shall soon get
over the indignity about the izzat- vizzat and just enjoy the higher pay pack.

Please give your comments. League is going to take up this with govt at priority basis.
