Proposed State Level Joint Convention of AISGEF and Confederation of C G Employees, Odisha State Committee

 Dear Comrades,

At the outset, I would like to greet you all with warm wishes for the English New Year 2023. May this New Year bring all sorts of happiness for your family and the nation as well and energize all of us to perform better and smarter in our respective fields.

As aware, I was elected as your General Secretary in the 4^th Triennial Conference held in Bhubaneswar GPO on 7^th August, 2022 under a challenging situation and took over charge from Com. R N Dhal who is now continuing as our beloved President. A notice was issued on 14^th November, 2022 to organize the first Chief Executive Body Meeting at 17.30 hours on 19.11.2022 in Bhubaneswar GPO to discuss especially on our participation in the Joint National Convention of AISGSF and Confederation at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi on 8^th December, 2022 and remittance of pending quota of our CoC for 3 years towards CHQ. But to my utter surprise, except some comrades of NFPE including this General Secretary and President, we witnessed absence of all other affiliated organizations of the CoC which is highly regretted resulting our absence in the above Conference and no remittance of the pending quota. It puts a question mark on our unity and trade union activities.

Now as per the decision of the above joint convention, a state level convention is required to be conducted during January, 2023. A copy of the said Circular is posted below for your kind reference. The leaders of AISF, Odisha State are in touch with me and expect that we should arrange the same in a nice manner. We have to finalize the date, venue and contribution for successful conductance of the proposed convention.

In this connection, I need your sincere cooperation, active participation and suitable suggestions. A preliminary preparatory meeting is required to be held as soon as possible for detailed discussion for the proposed State Level Joint Convention of AISGEF and Confederation, Odisha.

For the purpose, I propose to sit in Bhubaneswar GPO on 08.01.2023 (Sunday) at about 6 PM, if found convenient to one and all. Since I am preoccupied with another two meetings on 15^th and 22^nd (both Sundays), we may alternatively sit on 26^th January, 2023.

Hope, you will all respond in the group to proceed further since I may not be able to reach everyone personally over telephone.

There is no other alternative but to save the Unity and the Organization.

Warm Greetings.

Comradely yours,

Bruhaspati Samal

General Secretary
