Write such letters to all concerned

To,
Dr.Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister,
Government of India,
South Block,New Delhi
Subject-Restoration of facility of Earned Leaves to all staff working in schools.
Sir,
The Deptt. of Personnel and Training has issued a circular vide order no 13013/2/2008-Eastt(L)dated 11-11-2008, curtailing the facility of Earned Leaves to all staff working in schools throughout the country.This facility was given by the late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi and the teaching community always misses her sympathetic outlook towards educationists community.The Half Pay Leave facility is better but it should be along with Earned Leaves also.It is now associated with furnishing of medical certificates.It causes unnecessary embarassment as it seems sometimes necessary for us to put up a false medical certificate also to bear our social responsibilities. It is hard to keep our morale high in this condition.The encashment of Earned Leaves is a major support also for our older age responsibilities and certainly we see the Government as our patron.
We all are continuously working in different vacations,autumn breaks,winter breaks etc to achieve the target of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and getting no time for our own family members also. It is the reality that schools are not vacational deptt now. Therefore, we request you to grant 30 Earned Leaves and 20 Half Pay Leaves to all staff working in the schools.
Sir, you have worked well as a teacher also and you know the joy and sorrow of this profession very deeply. Now, we all seek your helping hands.
Thanks and regards
yours truly
All staff members of the school
