*8वें वेतन आयोग में GDS को शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा !* केंद्र सरकार ने स्पष्ट कर दिया है कि *ग्रामीण डाक सेवक (GDS) को 8वें केंद्रीय वेतन आयोग (8th Central Pay Commission - CPC) में शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा।* सरकार की आधिकारिक नीति के अनुसार, GDS कर्मचारी नियमित सरकारी सेवा का हिस्सा नहीं माने जाते हैं। इसी कारण उनके वेतन और सेवा शर्तें केंद्रीय वेतन आयोग के दायरे में नहीं आतीं। हालांकि, *डाक विभाग (Department of Posts) ने यह घोषणा की है कि GDS कर्मियों के वेतन और सेवा शर्तों की समीक्षा के लिए एक अलग “वन-मैन कमेटी” (One-Man Committee) का गठन बाद में किया जाएगा।* यह समिति GDS कर्मचारियों की वेतन संरचना, भत्ते, कार्य स्थितियां और अन्य सुविधाओं पर सिफारिशें देगी। *इस फैसले से डाक विभाग के लाखों GDS कर्मचारियों में निराशा और असंतोष देखा जा रहा है,* क्योंकि वे लंबे समय से यह मांग कर रहे थे कि उन्हें भी नियमित कर्मचारियों की तरह वेतन आयोग के तहत समान लाभ और वेतनमान मिलना चाहिए। डाक कर्मचारियों के संगठनों का कहना है कि *GDS देश के ग्रामीण डाक नेटवर्क की रीढ़ हैं, और उनकी उपेक्षा “समान कार्य, समान वेतन” की भावना के खिलाफ है।* अब सभी की नजरें आने वाली वन-मैन कमेटी पर हैं — यह समिति GDS कर्मचारियों के भविष्य और उनके वेतन सुधार को लेकर कितनी प्रभावी सिफारिशें करती है, यह देखना महत्वपूर्ण होगा। 📍संक्षेप में: * GDS को 8वें वेतन आयोग में शामिल नहीं किया गया। * सरकार ने नीति के तहत GDS को नियमित सरकारी कर्मचारी नहीं माना। * डाक विभाग अलग से “वन-मैन कमेटी” बनाएगा। * GDS कर्मचारियों में निराशा, सुधार की उम्मीद अब नई समिति से।

*GDS Not Included in 8th Pay Commission* The Government has clarified that *Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) will not be included in the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC).* According to the official policy, GDS are not part of the regular government service, and hence their pay and service matters do not fall under the scope of the CPC. However, the *Department of Posts has announced that a separate one-man committee will be appointed later to review and recommend revisions in wages and service conditions for GDS employees.* This decision has drawn attention across the postal community, as lakhs of GDS employees were expecting inclusion under the 8th CPC for better pay parity and benefits. #GDS #8thPayCommission #India #Post
