Government of India during the year 1966 constituted the Scheme of Joint Consultative Machinery and Compulsory Arbitration for the Central Government Employees with the aim of maintaining harmonious Industrial Relations in the Government Organisations and Department. The scheme will be celebrating its Diamond Jubilee during the year 2026. The JCM scheme has contributed a lot in improving Productivity, Quality, resolving jointly the issues and problems of the employees and pensioners and to maintain Industrial harmony. However for the past 2 decades the JCM Scheme has been completely diluted and the meetings of the National Council JCM and Departmental Council JCM are not taking place as per its constitution. Even though at the national level few meetings are taking place but the Departmental Council level despite the directions from Cabinet Secretary and DOP&T meetings are not taking place , thereby the employees losing confidence in the JCM Scheme and are forced to approach Court of Law to settle their service related matters. The JCM Scheme needs to be strengthened at all levels by ensuring regular meetings and solving the problems, so that the purpose for which the JCM Scheme was established will be fulfilled.
