Stores & Purchase - the NCL Model

Dear viewers,

Last month I had an opportunity to visit NCL, Pune for attending SSBMT Indoor Zonal during 21-23 Nov. 2008. I also got a chance to visit the Stores & Purchase Section. I was thrilled to see the way in which the S&P Section is organised and therefore would like to share my experience.

The S&P Section is in an ideally located, so to say in one building. Stores is interconnected with Purchase and vice versa. Stores in the Ground Floor and Purchase is in the First Floor. The Section is well organised and facilitated.

• cubical cabinet to all


• individual computer with LCD monitor


• dedicated printer


• meeting room for SPO/SO(S&P)


• a mini conference room


• Pantry to take care the visitor


• lunch room


• a place for common facility like Xerox, Fax, etc.


• .... the list continues....

I am also told that they organise classes, lectures by drawing experts from outside also viz. Indian Institute of Material Management, etc. on various subjects related to S&P.

The Stores & Purchase Team in NCL, Pune is undoubtedly needs appreciation, more particularly Shri Chiranjeevi, SPO who has definitely might have taken more pain for achieving this model. Rome is not built in a day.

Stores & Purchase - NCL Model is therefore my dream office.

Each one of us - it matters

Dear all

The main purpose of this blog is to have an intraction among all of us, i mean the S&P personnel, and to have a plotform for exchange of views. To achieve this, it is planned to include all interested persons as "members" of this blog. This privilage is restricted to S&P Cadre, at present (to be reviewed). Members can post their issues to be discussed/problems faced/contribute their knowledge source. So that other members will comment, give their view point, solution to the problems raised, etc. Some team members will be assigned the job of "administrators" who can edit all posts, add and remove the team members, modify the blog's settings and templates.

Therefore, interested S&P cadre persons are requested to give their mail id. One should have a google account (it is very simple to creat an account) for this.

Borrowing of Officers in Gen, F&A, S&P Cadres

CSIR vide circular No.5-1(26)-2008-PD dt.04/09/2008 (Sl.Circular No. ) has amended/inserted a clause in the CSIR Administrative Services (Recruitment & Promotion Rules), 1982 as below:

An association for Stores & Purchase (cadre based) is exist in CSIR which only enrols common cadre officers belong to S&P i.e. from Section Officer and above. Very recently CSIR has streamlined the cadres of Admn. viz.General Administration, Finance & Accounts, Stores & Purchase, and Stenographers. Since full fledged Cadarisation has been done, the need for inclusion of all the cadre people (Asst Gr.III, Gr.II, Gr.I) is inevitable.

Before approaching the Office Bearers of the S&P Association, it is open for discussion among the cadre persons about the pros & cons. Any comment/suggestion on this.

CSIR has released the panel (2008-2009) for the post of COSP & SPO. CSIR OM No.3-3(C)/2007-E1 dt.26/08/08. Visit CSIR Website for details.

CSIR has turned down the request of Assistants Gr.I and Sr.Steno for upgrading the pay scale on par with Central Secretariat. CSIR Lr. is as below:

UPGRADATION OF SCALE OF PAY OF ASSISTANTS/SR. STENOGRAPHERS
The matter of upgradation of pay scales of Assistants/Sr. Stenographers from Rs.5500-9000 to Rs.6500-10500 on par with the Central Secretariat Officers and staff of the GoI in New Delhi was taken up in the 169th meeting of the Governing Body of CSIR. The Department of Expenditure, MOF, GOI has not approved the proposal on the grounds that the revision of pay scales is only applicable to Central Secretariat Service and that implementation of pay scale of Rs.1640-2900 was approved under certain circumstances. Subsequently, the matter was taken up with the DOE which has been stated that the matter of parity is also under consideration of GoI under the umbrella of 6th Central Pay Commission.
CSIR is bound by the instructions of GOI in regard to pay scales, etc. as the entire component of salary is provided by the Govt. and it is not independent to take a decision and implement it, if not approved by the Govt.
Bye-Laws 14 and 15, and statement regarding adoption of pay scales in Advt.No.EU/CASE/(5)/97 have not endowed CSIR with powers to over-ride the instructions of GoI.
As and when the recommendations of the 6th CPC are made applicable to CSIR, it will be implemented in CSIR to the extent permitted by the GoI. Accordingly, the representations on the subject stand disposed of.
