"` Mass Dharna on 14^th July, 2009

On the issue of the Departmental Examination, the ITEF leadership met the DIT(E) and demanded that Examination-2009 should be held under the old Rules and the new Rules should be introduced only from next year and in consultation with the ITEF. As there was no positive response from the DIT(E) we met the Member (P) who assured us to discuss the issue with the DG(Admn.). However, we were later informed over the telephone about their intention to proceed with the New Examination Rules without taking our suggestions/objections into consideration, from 2009 itself.

In the light of the above development we are of the considered opinion that only a strong trade union action will force the authorities to come to the negotiating table for a fruitful discussion on the issue.

It has therefore been decided to include this as one of the items of our Charter of demands for the ensuing agitational programme. We call upon all our Circles to ensure massive participation in the Dharna programme as per the decision of the CWC, which is scheduled for 14^th July,2009 before all CCIT/CIT offices and make it a tremendous success.
