Message by SG after wage revision - English

Though the wage arrears are cost-free our increased salary from April 2021 is going to be costed and increases our responsibility. By now all the Employees have received their April Salary with the new increased wage revision scales. We have seen the real increase in the salaries and now we can say undoubtedly that this is the best ever wage revision. As per our estimates the increase ranges between 25% to 32%. The increase of this magnitude in the wages directly increases our cost ratio, proportionately to the rise in wages. To maintain the same cost ratio every D.O has to increase his performance by the same percentage of increase in the wages. With the huge jump in the wages our cost also increased tremendously creating pressure on every Development Officer irrespective of their performance. Increase of wages is beneficial, seeing the long-term interest of the employees, including D.O’s. But for D.O’s it creates an additional burden of cost. Our immediate concern should be to increase our performance levels incommensurate with the increased wages. With the increased salary and future situations Recruitment is the one and only solution.

Our slogan this year is – Every Development Officer – Recruitment of minimum 10 Agents. All D.O’s who are having less than 50 Agents should ensure to reach the mark of 50 Agents.
