State Executive Committee Resolutions
The State Executive Committee Meeting of the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors’ Association was held in Thekkadi on 1st March, 2009.
The State President Dr S. Kanagasabapathy presided the meeting, Dr K. Senthil State Secretary coordinated the meeting. State Treasurers Dr Prakash Karat and Dr Jeyakumar presented the financial report.
The association regretted that inspite of repeated representations and multiple sittings to discuss the issues with the Health Secretary and the Honorable Health Minister; most of the demands, were not solved. Inspite of repeated requests the office bearers were not able to meet the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. But many assurances were given by the Honourable Health Minister and the Health Secretary were not implemented.
The doctors working in the best performing state of Tamilnadu are being paid lowest salaries and given poor promotion opportunities.
The association knowing the responsibility and the sensitiveness of their work, was refraining from any direct protest for the past 18 months. After the failure of so many rounds of talks the association is left with no options, but is forced to go for direct action to press its demands.
After elaborate deliberations, the following resolutions were passed unanimously.
1.     The TNGDA wishes a speedy recovery for the Honourable Chief Minister Dr Kalaignar from his illness and hale and healthy life.
2.     The association resolved to go in for state wide agitation to press the following 9 demands.
I.       To correct the existing anomalies in the Pay and promotion opportunities between the central and state govt. doctors (since the previous pay commission) before implementing the VI Pay commission.
The exclusive recommendation for doctors – the Dynamic Assured Career Progression (DACP) available to the central govt. doctors since 1996 should be granted to the Tamilnadu doctors before fixing their pay slab in the VI Pay Commission.
II.     To reduce the timings of the Primary Health Centers as in Kerala and Karnataka, to 9 am to 2 pm for 6 days a week.
III.  Withdrawal of the ban in Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) for doctors.
IV.  Restoration of the 350 promotion posts (in the cadre of senior civil surgeons)
V.     Modifying the G.O. 13 of 2008 to designate faculty as Medical Council of India norms.
·  Designate entry level posts as Assistant Professor (for all qualified faculty)
·  mandatory teaching experience for promotion as associate professor should be 5 years (from entry)
VI.  Fix seniority for all panchayat union doctors absorbed in 1998 since the date of absorption.
VII.Promotion opportunities for all diploma candidates as Senior Civil Surgeon specialties in DMS side.
VIII.Post adequate specialists in CEmONC centers and trauma care centers. TNGDA resolves to stop doing CEmONC duties if there are no adequate specialists (without affecting the general duty) as specified in G.O.
IX.  To hold twice a year counseling; strictly implement counseling norms and to revert all postings issued violating counseling norms.
The TNGDA appeals to the Honorable Chief Minister to intervene and fulfill our demands.
