CM Mr.Bhupesh Baghel writes letter to Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi urging to return the amount deposited with NSDL to State Government for restoring OPS

Raipur | 03-Jun-2022 35

Requests to direct the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority to return Rs 17 thousand 240 crore deposited with NSDL under the New Pension Scheme to Chhattisgarh Government

There is no such provision that obstructs from restoring the old pension scheme, says CM

In the federal structure, it is a sovereign decision of the state government and is inappropriate to stop implementation of the same.

Raipur, June 03, 2022

Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has written to Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi requesting him to direct the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) to return the amount of Rs 17 thousand 240 crore rupees– deposited with NSDL under the New Pension Scheme–to the Government of Chhattisgarh. The move aims to ensure implementation of the decision taken by the state government to restore the old pension scheme to support the retirement security of government employees.

"There is no such specific provision in the agreement made by the state government with NPS Trust and NSDL, which stops the state government from restoring the Old Pension Scheme. In the federal structure, it is the sovereign decision of the state government. It will be inappropriate to stop implementation of a decision which was announced in the state budget and later approved in the cabinet aiming to secure the future of employees and their families", said Mr. Baghel.

He added that according to the data available with the state government, a total of Rs 11,850 crore (employer and employee contribution) has been transferred to NSDL from November 1, 2004 to March 31, 2022. According to the information received from NSDL, at present the market value of this deposit is about Rs.17,240 crore. The State Government had already requested PFRDA to return this deposit amount to the State Government through a letter dated 20 May 2022. PFRDA, through a letter dated 26 May 2022 replied that there is no such provision in the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 2013, read with the PFRDA (Exits and Withdrawal under National Pension Scheme) Regulation, 2015 and other relevant rules in which this deposited amount can be returned to the state government.

Mr. Baghel stated in the letter that it was announced in the state budget 2022-23 speech to restore the old pension scheme in place of the new pension scheme for all state government employees appointed on or after November 1, 2004. The same has been approved in the cabinet meeting dated May 1, 2022 and necessary notification for implementation of this decision has been issued in Chhattisgarh Gazette (Extraordinary) on May 11, 2022.

The officials and employees of the state government play an important role in the implementation of welfare schemes of the government. The state government has decided to restore the old pension scheme on the long pending demand of officers and employees of the state government. With effect from April 1, 2022, the monthly deduction and contribution from the salary of state government employees to the NSDL as a part of New Pension Scheme has been abolished. However, a minimum of 12 per cent salary will be deducted as per the General Provident Fund Rules, he said.

He added that it has also been decided by the State Government that the total amount deposited by the employees and the state government with NSDL till March 31, 2022, should be returned back to the state government. The total amount deposited as contribution of the state government employees should be transferred to their respective General Provident Fund accounts and the total amount of contribution of the State Government should be kept in a separate pension fund under the Public Account. Amount can be withdrawn from this fund if necessary for payment of pensionary obligations in future. Simultaneously, for further promotion of this fund, the deposited amount will be safely invested in the securities of the Government of India, State Governments and an amount equal to 4 per cent of the pension payment of the previous year will be invested.

After receiving the Community Forest Resource rights, the tribals have led down their bow and arrows and decided to stop the practice of hunting

Bastar | 26-May-2022 46

This decision will have a positive impact on eco-tourism, food chain, biodiversity, and the environment in general.

The 120 tribals of Gudiyapar village situated in the remote forests of Kanger National Food park have set an example in Forest Conservation.

Chhattisgarh becomes the second state to provide CFRR rights to a village in a National Park.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel handed over CFRR certificates to the beneficiaries in Nangur's meeting program

Gudiyapar is a remote village situated in the dense Kanger Vlley National Park. This village is home to just 29 houses spread out over a vast forest area surrounded with tall Sal trees, and the chirping of Mynas. The resident tribals of this remote village have offered their bow and arrows in front of the Devi and have pledged that they will not indulge in the practice of hunting

As soon as the news of issuing Community Forest Resources by the Chief Minister reached the 120 residents belonging to 29 tribal families of Gudiyapar village, they started an forest-friendly initiative to save the flora and fauna of the forests. The villagers took a pledge in the presence of their local deity that they will give up on hunting to maintain the food chain, biodiversity and environment.

Permission was taken from Gudi Devi

It is an age-old traditional belief in Gudiyapar village that they can communicate with their Devi and she helps them take significant decisions. The villagers mutually decided that they won’t indulge in the practice of animal sacrifice anymore. The residents of Gudiyapar unanimously decided to put a stop to this traditional practice of animal sacrifice. Approval was granted instantly. As soon as permission was received, the members of the Gond community offered arrows and arrows to the goddess. Shankar Barse of the Gond community living in Gudiyapadar says that even though it sounds fictitious, we tribal families believe that we can talk to our goddess and can only initiate any work after taking her permission.

This decision taken by the government in the interest of tribal families is a unique example that has been set up by the state. Chhattisgarh has become the second state in the country to give CFFR rights.

Earlier this right has been recognized in Odisha. Gudiyapadar is a small village of about 29 houses located inside the Kanger Valley National Park. The people living here belong to the Gond community and depend on rainfed farming (rice, kodo-kutki, pulses and bananas) and minor forest produce for subsistence.

The objective of Community Forest Resource Rights (CFRR):

Many tribal families have been living in the villages under protected forest areas for almost a century. Hunting wild animals is a part of our ancestor’s practice. Due to continuous hunting, many animals have reached the verge of extinction.

The main purpose of the CFRR recognition is to protect the forests only through those people who have been protecting that area for a long time. Therefore, the right of management should also be given to the native residents. This will help in saving animals and conserving water, and forests.

It will also benefit the tribal communities living in the forest

After the CFRR recognition, the tribal community living in Gudiyapadar village will also be benefited. These rights will enable them to stop the external encroachment. The hunting of animals will come to an end which will boost eco-tourism, increase employment, and also strengthen their economic condition. Later, they will also be considered for giving them farming rights in a limited area.

Pahari Myna's chirping will be heard in Kanger Valley

Kanger Valley National Park is famous for hill myna. The falling number of these species had put them on the verge of extinction. But now these tribal families will be prepared as 'Mayna Warriors' ,these warriors will ensure nesting sites, food availability, and favorable mating conditions for Mynas. So that they can be saved from extinction.

Raipur | 10-May-2022 165

Trees with cultural significance to be planted in urban areas

Banyan, peepul, neem, and Kadam trees will be planted

The Chief Minister has instructed all collectors to allocate at least one-acre land to the forest department for planting trees

The land where trees are to be planted will be called “Krishna Kunj”

Plantation of trees in all the Krishna Kunjs in Chhattisgarh will begin on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtmi

Unique initiative by the Chief Minister of promoting tree plantation as a public campaign

Following the initiative by the Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel, Krishna Kunj will be developed in every urban area of Chhattisgarh. Medicinal trees like Banyan, Peepul, Neem, and Kadam will be planted in Krishna Kunj. The Chief Minister has given instructions to all the collectors on immediately allocating at least one-acre land to the forest department for tree plantation. On this year’s Janmashtami, trees will be planted in all the places in the state marked as Krishna Kunj.

The Chief Minister, while promoting tree plantation as a public campaign, said that India has an ancient tradition of worshipping trees like Banyan, Peepul, Neem, Kadamb, etc. These trees have gained their place in the cultural history of our nation because of their usefulness to man. However, the rapid cutting of trees in urban areas in the name of development is endangering the existence of these trees. If this situation continues for long, our future generations will be unaware of their cultural value. Therefore, every citizen must preserve the precious heritage of trees. It’s crucial to plant and protect trees of medicinal importance in urban areas.

The Chief Minister said that to connect tree plantations with every citizen and our cultural heritage, the areas of the plantation will be named “Krishan Kunj”. Efforts should be made to develop the land allocated to the forest department in such a way that tree plantations in all the Krishna Kunjs can start on Janmashtami statewide.
