A message from Founder Member (1999-2000) of JASRWA

A message from Founder Member (1999-2000) of JASRWA and presently Member, Ad-hoc Committee- JASRWA

Dear Residents,

The mail from Chairperson is timely and necessary compliance is vital for improving the quality of life. I have the following add on for the Chairperson guidance.

Personal Levels:

Activities Which Can Be Prevented By Simple Change of Life Style

•The vehicles are parked in the corridors and this is obstructing free movement of residents.

•Some residents throw wastes from the top waste floors sometimes it falls on the balconies of residents below.

•The lifts are used to spit and some times have seen with dirt and wastes

•The solid wastes are thrown outside the identified enclosures:  Kitchen waste is helping dogs to find food for their survival

Networking That Can Help Every Body

•Individual specific traits that can be help others in such areas such as as spiritual, cultural, artistic and adventure sports etc.  A Data Base at JASRWA Can Help

•Specific suggestions of programs and preferable to volunteer responsibility that can help start a new program.

Family Levels:

•As per the BBMP notification dated 26 July 2013 any wet waste generating housing colony or complexes is a bulk generator. It is illegal to take away the waste from the bulk generator from Housing colony. It has to be properly treated by such efforts such as source segregation, recovery and treatment-composting or biogas. No source segregation is taking place and the Annual Maintenance Contract of taking away the waste is going on. It is an offense both at individual and colony level.

•This time there could be water scarcity in our housing colony during summer as the water storage at KRS has been the lowest in decade so far. At household level for water and energy awareness programs for conservation can be started.

 Colony Levels:

•The routine cleaning activities of the Campus need to be improved. Regular cleaning needs to be supervised.

•The pre Nursery School is in a dehumanizing standard. There are efforts to project this need many times but so far no permanent solution. A team has to take up for immediate action. Efforts are on to rope in Swamy Vivekananda Youth Movement - recently got recognition amongst 300 NGOs in the country working in tribal and rural development including pre and post education for children. We can have networking with them which will help all the pre school activities at Department housing colonies in the country.

•It is believed that parents and senior citizens at the colony who live most of the time at the colony and their needs have to be taken on equal or more priority. A feed back in the data base can be taken.

•The e-mail IDs of all residents and details of the dependents may be taken for better networking, communication and participatory activities at the housing colony.

With best wishes...

Hindrance in day to day activities of Ad-hoc committee

All members may note that during GBM meeting on 25th April (during which ex-President, General Secretary, Treasurer and School and Transport Treasurer resigned), ex-EC informed GBM that the cheque signing powers can not be transferred because KYC issue.

It was approved that ex-EC will have the cheque signing authority. During the GBM, it was understood that the cheques need to be signed by two ex-presidents (2012-14 and 2014-15) to make any payment.

However, later the bank clarified that the cheque signing powers can be transferred based on request of JASRWA. This was discussed in ad-hoc committee meeting and appropriate papers were moved for signature of Ex-EC committee members. Unfortunately, one of ex-EC member has objected for this by referring to GBM minutes.

The ex-president for the period 2012-14 is not stopping any cheques, however the other is holding many cheques since 23/07/2015.

The ad-hoc committee wishes to inform all JASRWA members on this development that, we are not responsible for any interruption in services due to non-availability of funds.

Highlights of GBM

The ad-hoc committee will work up to the end of August 2015
Bylaw has been approved
School fee structure has been approved
Elections will be conducted.

Art and Craft exhibition at the Colony

On the occasion of Independence Day Celebrations at the colony, it has been decided to conduct an Art and Craft exhibition at Multi Purpose Hall on 15/08/2015 from 1500 hrs onward. 

The exhibition is open to all the residents of the colony. It has been noticed by the committee that many of the residents have talent and are professionals in the art and craft work. This is an opportunity to show the talents of the homemakers and children of the colony to all the residents. 

Participants may register their names by writing to jasrwa.residents@gmail.com

Last Date for registration: 09/08/2015

Clarification on bylaw comparison

The bylaw comparison has been made to show the similarities and improvements in new bylaw over the old. All the members may note that; the old bylaw is not amended. The reason for this is as per section 13 of the Societies Registration Act 1960, every society has to compulsorily file within 14 days of Annual General body meeting , details of Committee members, Balance sheet, income and expenditure and auditors report issued by chartered Accountant details every year.

Since 15 years the association has not submitted any such report to Registrar of Societies, and can't be submitted now, it is wise to go ahead with new registration with a new bylaw.

GBM Timings on 02/08/2015

The GBM will held on 02/08/2015 at 1400 hrs at MPH. However, if there is a lack of quorum, the same will be adjourned and GBM will be conducted at 1600 hrs on 02/08/2015.

All members are requested note the same and participate in the meeting accordingly.

Agenda for GBM to be held at 02/08/2015

1. Discussion on issue related to registration: The association was registered during 1999-2000 with registration number 1232/1999-2000. However, there after the association registration has not been renewed by submitting audited accounts to Registrar of Societies for all these 15 years. For JASRWA to continue in the same name, it is required to submit last 15 years yearly audited accounts with approval of respective GBMs. It may be noted that the above documents are not available and cannot be generated. The possible solution is to register association with different name for which draft byelaw and a team who represents the members is required. The suggested new name is ‘Jalahalli Space Employees Residents’ Welfare Association’ which also needs to be discussed and approved by GBM.
2. Bylaw Approval: A draft byelaw has been generated by Ad-hoc committee, circulated among the members of JASRWA, feedbacks from members on draft bylaw have been addressed but few of the suggestions require GBM discussed before incorporating changes. After approval of draft bylaw by GBM, it will be legally wetted by a lawyer and properly formatted as per the guidelines of Societies Act 1960 before submitting to Registrar.
3. Discussion on electing executive committee
4. JASRWA School Fees: JASRWA is running a school in the colony for nursery, lower kindergarten and upper kindergarten. In order to cater to the honorarium of the teachers and aayaas and other miscellaneous expenditures, a fee structure has been brought out. New fee structure will be submitted to GBM for discussion and approval.
5. Upgradation of the school facility: The JASRWA School is running in 1C block. Many incidents of vomiting by pre-KG children is reported due to suffocation because of limited space. It has been decided to shift pre-KG class to JASRWA office on temporary basis until new school is created. Department has been approached for creation of nursery school in the colony for their overall development of our children. Further course of action have to be discussed in GBM.
6. Discussion on Financial Transactions of ex-EC: Estate Manager has communicated on 28/05/2015. Quote “Off late we have been receiving a lot of complaints regarding Financial Mismanagement by the previous JASRWA committee members. Though the JASRWA records/ Documents have been officially handed over by them to the Ad-Hoc committee members, the discrepancies in the JASRWA financial statements and records needs to be rectified and set right. In the view of repeated complaints received by the Estate Management office, ISRO HQ regarding the various expenditure incurred during the tenure of the previous JASRWA committee, may be thoroughly reviewed, so as to facilitate future JASRWA committee to have transparent and accurate booking of expenditures. In this regard the Ad-hoc committee may kindly review the JASRWA financial statements/records and submit a report to the Estate Management Office, ISRO HQ at the earliest” unquote. However, ad-hoc committee has decided to put a report in front of the GBM for discussion for further course of action.
7. Discussion on continuation of ad-hoc committee tenure till next EC: As per last GBM resolution, ad-hoc committee was given a time period of three months. Extension of the need to be approved for smooth functioning of day to day activities of JASRWA.

Why new bylaw, when there is an old bylaw? Why new registration?

The association was registered during 1999-2000 with registration number 1232/1999-2000. One of the ad-hoc committee member has approached the Registrar of Societies and obtained the details on JASRWA registration. The office of Registrar of Societies intimated that the association has not been renewed since 15 years and to regularize the registration JASRWA has to submit yearly audited reports for 15 years to Registrar of Societies with necessary penalty fees. It may be noted that audited reports, as per guidelines of Registrar of Societies is not available with JASRWA.

The matter came for discussion in the ad-hoc committee meeting. Another option for continuing the activities of association is change the name of the association and go ahead with new registration along with new bylaw.  The committee decided to go ahead with second option i.e., bring out a new bylaw and register the association with a new name.

Hence a new bylaw has been drafted in line with old bylaw, with improvements, instead of amending the old bylaw. The association will be registered with a new name. A new “Jalahalli Space Employees Residents’ Welfare Association” has been proposed in place of “Jalahalli Space Residents’ Welfare Association”.

Highlights of new Bylaw

The new bylaw has been made members friendly rather than executive committee friendly, because the association is in existence because of the members and the monthly subscription provided by them. If any EC member/ office bearer does any mistake then members have been given a lot of rights to question that.

1. The new by law is in line with old bylaw and the similar structure has been retained
2. Many rights have been provided to members, which was missing in the old bylaw; for example right receive copy of bylaw, right to expenditure incurred, right to initiate agenda for  meetings, right to book multipurpose hall
3. Posts which does not have functionality have been removed
4. Sub-committees have been made for School and security (on annual basis) with inclusion of non member (spouse of member)
5. Guidelines have been put for security and school management
6. Detailed guidelines have been written for transport subcommittee
7. Income and expenditure guidelines were strengthened, brought out transparency clauses in all financial transaction
8. Cultural functions: Only national and state festivals will be arranged by the association. All residents/ group of people may celebrate religious/ community functions for which MPH will be made available on request.
9. Detailed guidelines have been put for MPH utilization
10. To bring transparency and accountability a detailed purchase procedures have been brought out.
11. Do’s and Don’ts will give many inputs to residents
12. Many formats have been added in the annexure
