Announcement of Sixth Pay Commission

Announcement of Sixth Pay Commission

While the Sixth Pay Commission favours government employees, a pay hike for them leads to non-government employees facing a lot of problems. A simple peon gets Rs. 7000 but daily labourers remain where they were.

THE SIXTH Pay Commission declares that the salary of government employees has increased. Now it is a debatable question that is it right or wrong? I thought it is a wrong decision because of this the non-government employees are faced a lot of problems. Because of this the government employees are getting a salary of not less than Rs. 7000 but in that case, daily laborers or a businessman cannot get a proportionate amount.

A simple peon also gets Rs. 7000 but daily labourers remain where they were. So the dream of a secular country is vague in this context, because rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer. The maximum amount of the country’s money is with the upper classes of the people. Upper section because the government employees are considered as powerful and respected in society, whereas the number or percentage of government employees are less in society and they affect the total system. Like when the price of commodities increases it is not a big deal for government employees but it is a big problem for the rest of the people in society. So the common men have to manage with a limited budget.

A simple example -- in a marriage function of a government employee who can afford to give a grand party, the price rate suddenly increases and they get the vegetable from the market. So after that if a common man goes to the market to buy something they get nothing or if they get something than it is at a high rate. Again in the feast the extra amount or the food left by the guests on their plates would be sufficient for a common man. So a large amount of food is wasted because they can afford to buy all this and this is because they get a good salary. Why are they paid this much? Is it because they are doing their duty properly? If they are doing their duty correctly then its ok but it is not so.

An example; in a sub-collector’s office the employees reach office at around 10:30 am or 11am go home for a lunch break before time but came back at around 3 or 3:30 pm and the office closes at 5pm. So why are they paid so much.

Recently in schools the fees have increased because of the decision of the Sixth Pay Commission. So who will benefit from this declaration? The government should reconsider because India is not only peoples by rich sections but also vast sections of the poor.
