Ajmer Agricultural Supervisors Issue Ultimatum Over 11-Point Charter

Agricultural supervisors across Ajmer district have stepped up their demands, submitting an 11-point memorandum to the District Collector. The move, part of a statewide call by the Agriculture Supervisor Joint Coordination Committee Rajasthan, comes with a stark warning: meet their demands or face a phased agitation.

At the heart of their grievances is the stalled promotion process. The committee highlighted the urgent need to expedite the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) for senior agricultural supervisors to the Assistant Agricultural Officer post. This delay, they claim, is costing personnel a significant financial loss, estimated at around ₹15,000 per month.

Key Demands: Financial Relief and Operational Support

Beyond the DPC, the supervisors have laid out a comprehensive list of issues. They are pushing for the resolution of long-standing salary discrepancies, the creation of new posts to ease workload, and better support for their day-to-day operations.

Specifically, the demands include a ₹1,000 internet recharge allowance to cover online work expenses, a multi-dimensional allowance of ₹3,750, and adequate funds and facilities for Kisan Seva Kendras (Farmer Service Centers) which are crucial for grassroots agricultural support.

? Did You Know? Agriculture forms a substantial part of India's GDP, employing a large percentage of its population, making the role of agricultural supervisors crucial for ground-level implementation of policies and farmer support.

Threat of Agitation Escalates

The committee has made it clear that if their demands are not addressed promptly, they are prepared to escalate their protest. This includes a warning of phased agitation, a boycott of non-agricultural duties, and a complete halt to all online work, which could significantly impact agricultural services in the region.

The memorandum, addressed to the Chief Minister, signals a growing frustration among the agricultural workforce. The ball is now in the administration's court to respond to these pressing concerns and avert potential disruptions in agricultural services.
