## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

- (a):         Representations  are  received  from  time-to-time  on  service  related  matters  of  the teaching / non-teaching staff of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS). The considered views conveyed to KVS on the issues such as MACP, CGHS etc. are as under:-

One of  the  conditions  for  grant  of  MACP  scheme  is  that  the  earlier  ACP  scheme should have been implemented / adopted by the autonomous / statutory body. Since KVS had themselves chosen not to opt the earlier ACP scheme for the teaching staff, the proposal for grant of MACP to teaching staff of KVScould not be agreed to; CGHS facilities have been extended to all serving employees of KVS (both teaching and  non-teaching)  at  Bangalore,  Chennai,  Mumbai,  Hyderabad  and  Kolkata.It  has also been extended to serving employees of KVS (HQ), Regional Office at Delhi and the retired  employees  of  KVS  in  Delhi/NCR.At  locations  where  CGHS facilities  are not available, KVS employees are extended the benefits under the Central Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944. With regard to extension of CGHS facilities to all serving / retired employees of KVS across the country, proposal could not be agreed to on account of severe resource crunch, especially, the acute shortage of qualified medical  and  paramedical  professionals  apart  from  other  logistics  and  financial constraints.

- (b)        Cash additionality of Rs. 300.53 crore has been made available to the KVS, through revised budgetary allocation during 2017-18 which would enable disbursement of substantial part of pay revision arrears to serving and retired employees of KVS.
- (c)          The  Librarian  cadre  in  the  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  is  a separate cadre  with  no feeder grade post and promotional post. As per the recruitment rules, all posts of Librarians are filled through direct recruitment. Librarians are entitled to get Senior Scale and Selection Scale subject to fulfillment of eligibility criteria as applicable to other teaching cadres in KVS. The three tier pay scale applicable to Librarians in KVS is as under:-

|                 | As per 6 th CPC                      | As per 7 th CPC   |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------|-------------------|
| Entry Scale     | Rs. 9300-34800+ Grade Pay Rs.4600/-  | Level -07         |
| Senior Scale    | Rs. 9300-34800+ Grade Pay Rs.4800/-  | Level -08         |
| Selection Scale | Rs. 15600-39100+ Grade Pay Rs.5400/- | Level -10         |

No extra unprofessional work / duties are given to the Librarians.  However, the arrangement periods (substitution work) may be given as per exigencies of service and in the interest of the students. There are no sanctioned posts of Librarians in the KVs abroad and only subject teachers are deputed to these KVs.

- (d)         Some  complaints  are  received  from  time  to  time  against  the  Principals  and  other staff  of  the  KVs,  on  which action is taken as per rules, when after scrutiny / inquiry prima facie  cases  are  established.  A  statement  showing  details  of  complaints  received  by  KVS during the last one year against Principals / Vice-Principals / Headmasters, KV / Region-wise is annexed.
- (e)         All  issues  including  grievances  raised  by  employees  associations  of  KVS  are redressed through the Joint Consultative Machinery at regional and national levels.
