Voice of Evictees

Dear friends,
Today one more of our staff, Shri. P Sasi, retired from cwrdm service. Shri P Sasi joined in cwrdm-subcentre at Cheemeni in Kasergod district on 16th June 1992. In the welcome address performed by 'Tarangam' president and Head,ESD, Shri P Jayakumar has pointed out that shri Sasi is the 110th personal retiring from cwrdm service and reduced the staff strength of cwrdm to half without much recuipment. He hopped that the cwrdm authorities will take necessary steps for the recruitment of the vacant posts.

Shri P Sasi joined in cwrdm as part-time staff and worked about 7 years in that post and latter appointed as full time staff. As a result he was not benefited the actual 18 years of service he rendered in cwrdm even though he has worked as 'full time' staff in cwrdm-subcentre,Cheemani in Kasargod District because his place of work was too distant from his residence in Kozhikode. Hence he stayed 24 hours in the sub-centre itself. He got the job under evictees category from whose land the cwrdm started.

In 1960 about 156 acres of land was taken by Kerala Government for the establishment of Calicut University but at the time of Chief Minister Shri C H Mohammed Koya(October12,1979 to December, 1979) it was transfered to Thanjippalam in Malappuram District and the land was handovered to cwrdm.

As per GO MS No 47/77/ Plg dt 30-11-77 the Government have ordered that all appointments to the Research & Development Institutions established under Science & Technology Wing except appointments to technical categories of posts whose basic salary is Rs 500/-and above to be made through the nominees of Employment Exchange observing communal reservation rules. Since the evictees were agitating against the appointment of persons other than those whose land have been acquired by the Calicut University and subsequently taken over by the centre and this matter was reported to Government by the Executive Director of cwrdm and the Government ordered by GO MS 11/83/LAR dated 26-2-1983 that persons whose lands have been acquired for establishing cwrdm will be sponsored for the posts of Helper, Driver, Sweeper, Sweeper-cleaner, Watchman, Assistant grade-II, typists and Stenographers. But the authorities filled the above said posts without considering the evictees until Shri M R Venugopal, Working President of cwrdm Employees Association started Hunger Strike in March, 1988. As a result of this agitation the authorities unwillingly agreed to implement CSIR promotion rules and appointments for evictees and they tried to topple this agreement also. But at last towards the end of 1991 the authorities are forced to implement it. Late Com: C P Balan Vaidyer played a major role in implementing it. As a result of the grudges on the part of authorities, they have posted these partime staff in cwrdm-subcenters at Kasergod, Kannur, Palakkad, Manimalakunnu, Kottayam and Thiruvananthapuram which was actully againt rules.

The most impotent thing in human beings is that after getting the benefits we will forget the blessings showered on us by others. As a result of these type of attitudes we are unable to utilize the full benefits we are actually expected to get.

Executive Director Dr Jayakumar presided over the send off function. Registrar Col.(retd) Yohannan and Dr Pradeepkumar, Ex cwrdm-Chemeni-subcentre Head and present MOS Head spoke vividly on their initial trrifying and then the enjoyment life at Cheemeni. Dr N K JOseph, Head, Surface water division pointed out that Shri Sasi is a hard worker and a great devotee of God. He is an active member of Manathanath Annapoorneswari Temple. Dr K R Prasennakumar, Working President of cwrdm Employees Association and Dr Dinesan, Working President of cwrdm Employees Organisation also spoke on the ocction. Shri M T Anilkumar, Tarangam Secretary expressed vote of thanks. After photocession and planting of tree, we accopanied Shri Sasi to his residence at Chemancherry. Shri Sasi's wife is a home maker and they have two married daughters and their son is working abroad. I wish him a happy and prosperus retired life.

with best wishes
