Due to the prevailing COVID 19 situation, this year it has been decided to adopt a hybrid approach wherein the Odisha Adivasi Mela 2021 will have a physical as well as virtual presence. To popularise the virtual mela, a comprehensive social media marketing plan has been devised which has multiple components. Dedicated social media handles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube have been created to reach out to more people and increase awareness about the event.

The communication strategy has been built around the various tribes, their life and culture and their heritage. Through social media posts, attempt to reach out to the relevant target groups is being made. Various activities will be undertaken to engage the social media followers and keep them updated on the events of the Odisha Adivasi Mela 2021.

Adivasi Mela 2021 would be conducted physically from 26.01.2021 till 09.02.2021 in the Adivasi Exhibition Ground located in Unit-1 area of Bhubaneswar and its timing would be from 11 AM till 7 PM of each day. 

All Covid-19 protocols would be followed scrupulously. For the convenience for the intending visitors, online registration would be made from 23.01.2021 through the website of the Adivasi Mela 2021. General public would be requested to avail this facility and may register online for their smooth entry into the Mela Ground. However, this is desirable but not mandatory.

All Members of the Staff Side,
National Council(JCM)

Dear Comrades,

Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India)

Met today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India) and handed him over a copy of our letter dated 16th January, 2021, expressing our anguish over freezing of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief payable to the Central Government Employees and Pensioners/Family Pensioners. I also demanded for payment of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief with arrears since 01.01.2020.

During the course of discussion, the Cabinet Secretary said that the country was passing through an unprecedented situation, that is why, Government had to take such an action, but he further said that, there should not be any doubt that freezing of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief will continue even after 30th June, 2021.

I also asked him that, no action has been taken our letter dated 11th January, 2021 (Reg. undue delay in settling the issues discussed in the meeting of the Standing Committing of NC/JCM and 47th meeting of the NC/JCM). He immediately called Addi. Secretary(Esstt.), DoP&T, and asked her to organize all the meetings due as well as to get implemented the issues agreed in the meetings of the NC/JCM referred to above.

This above is for your information.

Comradely yours,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
Secretary

After July 2019, Government Order for Dearness Allowance Rate for Central Government Employees was not issued on account of DA Freeze announced by Government till July 2021.
