A resolution wanted regularisation of the services of an estimated 24,000 workers employed on consolidated pay scale basis TIRUCHI: The Tamil Nadu Milk Cooperative Milk Producers’ and Employees’ Welfare Association has urged the State Government to come to the rescue of primary producers by stepping up both the procurement price and sale price of milk. A resolution adopted at its meeting held here recently referred to the spiralling price rise in the prices of the fodders and allied expenditure towards labour for maintaining the diaries, and said that many producers and employees attached to primary cooperative milk societies were switching over to other alternative and more lucrative vocations. The sale price per litre of milk in Chennai, the resolution said, was far less than the other major cities in the country, forcing the State Government not to increase the procurement price. Increase procurementA hike in the sale price of milk would facilitate the Government to increase the procurement price, the resolution said. Pointing out that the procurement price per litre should be fixed at Rs.15.76 for cow-milk; and at Rs.21.50 for buffalo milk. The current rate of Rs.10.76 and Rs.11.50 respectively was quite inadequate to meet the expenditure, pushing the primary societies into the red. Pointing out that a large number of milch animals had become prey to the spread of animal diseases in Tamil Nadu, another resolution pleaded for compensation to the owners under the insurance scheme. Referring to the economic status of the employees attached to the primary milk cooperatives, the meeting, through a resolution, wanted regularisation of services of an estimated 24,000 workers who had been employed on consolidated pay scale basis for the past three decades. With the ban on the enrolment of new members following the court directive, non-members were ineligible for any bonus or dividends from the primary societies. Maintenance funds
Resolutions pleading for increase in the allocation of maintenance funds to the cooperative societies by at least ten per cent, permission for setting up power lines from domestic main lines to diary farms were also adopted on the occasion. The president of the Association K. A. Sengottuvel; its general secretary, M. R. Rajendran, the State secretary R. Raja Chidambaram and the joint secretary N. Ganesan were among those who spoke.
