National Pay Commission neglected the professional group working in Agriculture and Livestock sector

National Pay Commission neglected the professional group working in Agriculture and Livestock sector with reference to increase in pay and facilities. It will affect adversely the development in green sector.

Already Agriculture and Livestock sectors have badly been suffering regarding poor service structures and minimum facilities, It is unbelievable for a common observer that for such a long time these officers have been denied promotions, even after twenty years. Please focus your attentions on these important issues which are directly related to agricultural development in our country. If National Pay commission failed to provide incentives like increase in pay and allowances than these professionals working in the sector than all the claims regarding agricultural development will be baseless and false.

* In 1972-72, Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto for the first time upgraded the pay scale of Agriculture and Livestock Professionals.
* During the year 2008-09, President Zardari and the Prime Minister of Pakistan introduced different projects in Agriculture and Livestock sector worth millions of rupees. Majority of these projects are supervised by the government people, If they are neglected and deprived from facilities than this will create frustration and corruption.

Please launch a campaign in all over the country for best service structure and whole some pay to livestock and agriculture officers, working in government sector. This is the most appropriate time for conveying our interests, as the report of the Pay Commission will be finalized in March.
