Event date

The proposed date on November 01, 2014 for Golden Jubilee celebration does not coincide any of the important or national events. The second Option planned on November 11, 2014 although has bigger significance. Since it falls on the Birth Anniversary of His Majesty, 4^th Druk Gyalpo andGross National Happiness Day (GNH), most of the alumni especially teachers & mothers cannot make to the celebration on November 11, 2014 because of coinciding peak annual school examination. In lieu of it, the house has proposed another date on December 17, 2014 since this is ideal for all alumni besides its significance as National Day and can also be dedicated to commemorate the 60^th Birth Anniversary Celebration of 4^th Druk Gyalpo.

Contribution slab        

The fund contribution slab proposed by earlier meetings seems bit preemptive without proper basis provided to ascertain expected over all expenditure to be incurred during the proposed celebration. The tentative contribution slab could have been fixed based on the expected expenditure on the categorical number of programs/sub-program and for that matter even at the activity level, divided by the expected number of alumni and of course without undermining the low income level bracket as explicit in the earlier meetings. In view of it, the house appeals if the National Steering Committee could revisit the proposed contribution slab once again considering the above suggestions into account. The fund contribution by individual alumni, hence, could be considered only after receiving Bank Account Number and confirmation as proposed/suggested above.
Project/ Corporation slab        

It was appealed by the Project/Corporate officials that unlike

apropos if the Contribution slab for them could also be considered at par with the civil servants position title/Grade.             

Signatory to attorney

The signatory attorney to the immediate sub-ordinate in absence

of President, Secretary General and Finance Secretary reflected in the second minutes of meeting at serial No.7 need to be identified in order to be able to shoulder transparency and accountability.

Transportation/Logistics

Every individual alumni and their family aspiring to attend the

Proposed 50 yrs of Golden Jubilee Celebration must arrange their own transportation/Logistics. This proposal is to help reduce unnecessary additional expenditure on the celebration budget/fund collection.

It was also proposed either recognition certificate or Medal to the

1^st Head Master/Principal, 1^st Dasho Dungpa,1^st Azhang Gup, when Dechenling School was conceptualized in 1964. The recognition Certificate/Medal may also be proposed to the 1^st batch of graduates who passed from Dechenling school since its inception in 1964.

Utilization of Resources                       :

Considering financial economy, physical resource economy, and

most importantly  time economy, the house applaud the national Starring Committee for their  endeavor and taking advantage of modern ICT Technology, enabling access through emails, face books and websites without using bulky papers and expensive communication medias at large

Judicious use of fund/Expenditure:

Quiz on Salary

Confused with Kuensel

Salary revision explained from Kuensel

"Salary: The recent salary revision, which will be effective next month has triggered a debate on how much the actual rise was. People’s Democratic Party had pledged to increase the salary and allowances of the civil service and the local government leaders, and introduce the 20 percent house rent.

Here is an example of how the new revision works.

A fresh post-graduate diploma teacher earns a basic monthly salary of Nu 14,460. He is entitled to 20 percent salary allowance of Nu 2,892. This takes the salary to Nu 17,352 excluding other entitlements and allowances.

For civil servants, the existing allowances have been merged to their basic salary and on that increased by four to 10 percent in a downward revision.

This means that the recent pay revision for civil servants in P5 cadre (officer level) would get a raise of six percent on Nu 17,352, which is now the new basic salary. This takes the basic salary to Nu 18,392, an increase of Nu 1,041.

On this ( Nu 18,392) they would now get a 20 percent house rent allowance, which amounts to Nu 3,678.

So the starting salary for a fresh post-graduate teacher in P5 level becomes Nu 22,070. The raise gives them an additional monthly income of Nu 5,719."

Dear Madam Tshering Palden, I am confused with your pay calculation for first grade teacher. 20% of 10710=2142/- is the salary allowance which we use to get  but you have calculated as  20% of 14460=2892/- which is not true. As far as I am concern I have calculated here in my previous post please go through it and also for your kind information I have again shown below in the table for clarification. We should not misinform our nation.

Position	Existing Pay Scale			Revised Pay Scale			HRA
	Min	Incr.	Max	Min	Incr.	Max
P 5	14460	290	18810	17495	350	22745	3500

 

Existing Pay Scale		Revised Pay Scale
Basic	Allowance	Previous allowance	6% of 14460	New allowance	New basic
14460	2142	2142	893	2142+893=3035	14460+3035=17495

As you have written that HRA amounts to 3678, no it is 20% of new basic 17495 which amounts to Nu.3500.
