ANSWER
(a) The Modified Assured Career
Progression Scheme for the Central Government civilian employees has been
introduced vide Department of Personnel & Training O.M. No.35034/3/ 2008-Estt.(D) dated
19th May, 2009 as amended from time to time. The extension of Modified Assured
Career Progression (MACP) to the employees is subject to the conditions
that:-
i) The earlier ACP Scheme was
also implemented/adopted by the said Autonomous/Statutory Body.
ii) The proposal to adopt MACP
Scheme has been approved by the Governing Body/Board of Directors.
iii) The Administrative Ministry/Financial Adviser of the Ministry has concurred
with the proposal.
iv) The financial implications of adoption of MACP
Scheme has been taken into account by the Organisation / Body and the
additional financial implication can be met by it within
the existing Budget Grants.
As the teaching staff of KVS,
including Principals had not accepted the earlier ACP Scheme introduced in the
year 1999, they would not be entitled for the benefits of MACP scheme.
(b) Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS)
has extended the CGHS facility to the employees of KVS(HQ) and non-teaching
staff of KVS Regional Office, Delhi. Besides this, CGHS facilities have also
been extended by the DGHS to the teaching staff as well as non-teaching staff
of Regional Offices and Kendriya Vidyalayas, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata,
Chennai and Bangalore.
The matter was taken up with
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare in October, 2012 to extend the CGHS
facility to the employees serving in Kendriya Vidyalayas/KVS in all other stations
across the country and to its pensioners wherever CGHS facilities are
available. However, DGHS in December, 2012 had conveyed that CGHS is already
facing acute shortage of human resources and it would not be possible to extend
CGHS coverage to new cities as well as new establishments.
