The National Movement for Old Pension Scheme (NMOPS) and MOPS have again planned a big protest to bring back the old pension scheme for government employees. The leaders of the group had an online meeting on Sunday. In this meeting, they talked about the problems of government workers and teachers. They feel that the new pension system is not good for their future. So, they want the old pension system to return.
The leader of the group, Mr. Vijay Kumar Bandhu, said that the government is selling many government departments to private companies. Many government schools are also being closed. Because of this, many teachers and employees are feeling sad and worried. They think their future is not safe.
To make their voice heard, NMOPS and MOPS have planned a big protest across the country. This protest will have many steps. On 1st August, all the workers and teachers will take out a "Roz March" in every district of the country. They will walk to the main offices in their districts to ask for their rights. This march is just the first step.
The second step will be on 5th September. This is also Teachers’ Day in India. On this day, all the teachers and government workers will do a group fast. They will not eat food during the day. This is to show that they are serious about their demands.
After this, on 1st October, they will run a campaign on social media. This means they will post messages and videos on the internet using apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The aim is to tell more people about their protest and to get public support.
The biggest step will be on 25th November. On this day, a big rally will take place in Delhi. Thousands of teachers and employees from all parts of India will gather in the capital. They will hold banners and shout slogans. They want the government to listen to them and bring back the old pension scheme.
The General Secretary of NMOPS, Ms. Sthit Pragya, also gave a statement. She said that the government should stop privatizing government departments. When the government sells public departments to private companies, many workers lose their job safety. Also, the quality of education and services may go down. She asked the government to protect public jobs and give a fair pension to all employees.
Why is the old pension scheme important?
In the old pension scheme, government workers used to get a fixed amount of money every month after retirement. This money helped them live a good life after finishing their job. It also helped their families. But now, the new pension scheme depends on the stock market. This means the money can go up or down. It is not safe. Many workers are scared that they will not get enough money in their old age.
That is why NMOPS and MOPS are working hard to bring back the old pension scheme. They believe every worker has the right to live a peaceful life after retirement. They say that the old system was better and fairer.
What is privatization, and why are people against it?
Privatization means giving government companies to private owners. These private owners run the companies to make a profit. But many people think this is not good. When a private company takes over a school or hospital, it may charge more money or reduce staff. This can hurt poor people who depend on free or low-cost services.
Teachers and employees say that privatization is making their jobs unsafe. They also say that when government schools are closed, children in villages and small towns suffer the most. Many families cannot afford private schools. So, children stop going to school.
This is why NMOPS wants the government to stop privatizing and protect government schools, hospitals, and other services.
What will happen next?
NMOPS is planning this protest step by step. First, marches in every district on 1st August. Second, fasting on 5th September. Third, a social media campaign on 1st October. And finally, a big rally in Delhi on 25th November.
They are also asking other teacher unions and employee groups to join. If more people support this protest, it will become stronger. NMOPS believes that with unity and peaceful protest, they can make the government listen.
What should students and parents know?
This protest is not against students or their learning. Teachers care about students. But they also need safety in their jobs. When teachers are happy and safe, they can teach better. So, this protest is also for better schools and a better future for students.
Parents should support this peaceful movement. They can also write to leaders and ask them to bring back the old pension system. Good teachers and safe schools are important for every child’s future.
Conclusion
The protest by NMOPS and MOPS is a big step for the rights of teachers and government workers. They are fighting for their future and a better system. They want the government to listen and act. The old pension scheme gave peace of mind to workers. It should be brought back.
People all over the country should understand this issue. It is not just about money. It is about respect, safety, and a better future for the people who serve the nation. From schools to hospitals to offices, these workers are the backbone of our society. They deserve fair treatment and security after retirement.
Let us all support peaceful protests and help make India a better place for its workers and children.
