In a press statement, Spokesperson of the Association, Faizan Tramboo demanded immediate regularization of all NRHM employees viz paramedics and management staff on the pattern of Rehbar-e Taleem scheme, Immediate release of rural incentives for Paramedics, Job security, health insurance and general insurance to all NRHM staff, maternity leave benefits and release of arrears, extension of time bound for casual leave from 15 days to 30 days in a year, rent charges for paramedics who are residing on private accommodation in far flung areas in the state.
Tramboo further said that Government is ignoring the NRHM Employees working in the State as no one of their demands have been consider so far by the Government.
More ever he added that NRHM Scheme was launched in 2005 and since then employees working under it are still non permanents. Tramboo revealed that Govt has recently enhance the salaries of all nrhm employees of the state wherein salary of all paramedics except JSN have been enhanced from 10800 to 12000 whereas salary of JSN has been upgraded upto 14600 which clearly shows discrimination with other paramedics. The Association demanded either the Govt should revoke this enhancement or enhance the honorarium of other paramedics as 14600 as that of JSN.
The Association further urged the Union Health Minister, Commissioner Secretary Health and Medical Education and Mission Director NRHM Dr Yash Pal Sharma to look into this genuine matter and redress the same at an earliest so that the staff working under NRHM may not suffer any more.
