13th FEBRUARY 2016
One year has passed since the demise of
Com. S. K. Vyas Ji, the legendary leader of Central Government employees
and Pensioners on 13th February 2015.
Com. Vyasji was the Secretary General of
the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers for
forty years from 1967 to 2006. He was the President and Secretary
General of All India Audit & Accounts Association for a long time.
He continued as an Advisor of the Confederation and also as the General
Secretary of National Coordination Committee of Pensioners (NCCP) and
Bharat Central Pensioners Confederation (BCPC) till death.
Com. Vyas Ji has lead various struggles
and strike actions of the Central Government Employees and was in the
forefront of the leadership which organised the first strike action of
the Central Government Employees after Independence, in the year 1960.
Com. Vyas was jailed and dismissed from service. He played an important
role in rallying the Central Government employees alongwith the striking
Railway employees in the year 1974. He was an able and uncompromising
negotiator with the Government in the JCM National Council and standing
committee. He was responsible for many of the benefits and allowances
enjoyed by the Central Government employees. The cost indexation of
wages was earned by the Government employees through the sustained
struggles and efforts in 1960s under his leadership. The Confederation
of Central Government Employees & workers representing 1.5
million civil servants was in the forefront of the incessant struggles
and strike actions organised by the Indian working class against the
neo-liberal economic policies of the Government. Com. Vyas Ji’s vision
and ideological clarity has made the Confederation, part and parcel of
the mainstream of the working class movement of India.
Com. Vyasji was the friend, Philosopher,
guide and everything for the Central Government employees movement. In
the more than six decades long trade union life, Com. Vyasji endeared
himself to every section of the Central Government employees. His death
has caused an irreparable and irreplaceable loss to all of us. He was a
great leader, symbol of simplicity, a gem of a person and a leader who
is down to earth. Extremely polite, kind hearted and compassionate. One
of the finest human being, tallest leader, a gentle mentor and a legend.
He is in our hearts! His memories will be
forever with us! His long saga of struggle for the cause of the
employees and workers will inspire the generations to come.
The National Secretariat of the Confederation calls upon all the affiliated organizations, State/District C-O-Cs to observe 13th February 2016 as S. K. VYAS JI REMEMBRANCE DAY by holding meetings, Seminar etc. throughout the country.
COM. S. K. VYAS JI AMAR RAHE !
