Madam,

        A kind reference is invited to the proposal of introduction RSBY for GDS employees as intimated vide your letter under reference. We had proposed certain improvements in the proposed scheme keeping in view the ground realities prevailing in the rural area where the GDS employees work vide our letter no dated 24.02.2010. Since then nothing has been heard and we donot know the fate of the proposal.

        You will kindly agree that the low paid GDS employees urgently deserve some scheme for provision of health services. The proposed scheme of RSBY, in its present form with certain improvements as suggested by us is a right step in providing health services to the GDS employees, though a small step. We strongly hold the view that every big journey starts with a proposed RSBY was a step in the right direction and should have been brought in place small step taken is the right adirection. The with the improvement suggested by us. We are of strong view that this scheme should not be allowed to die a natural death.

        We, therefore, request you kindly to vitalize the proposal in the interest of the employees. We shall always be available to offer further inputs as and when required.

An expeditious action is requested.
