even after several rounds of agreement with the state government and locals. Secretary Bengia Tada informed that since the 2012 agreement with NEEPCO, 50 youths were to be trained and employed accordingly. After completing their training from ITI Tezpur and Roing, the HPO
(Pare Project) have been saying that the GoI has put a ban on appointments. However, Tada said the recent notification of employment exchange of NEEPCO for list of applicant for appointment in the name of special drive in ST/SC/OBC tells another story.
“We served an ultimatum to the HPO, Doimukh, but no action has been initiated and we were compelled to organize a dharna, and we will continue our democratic movements till our demands are met with”.

7th Pay Commission: Govt. salary hike can indeed boost growth Spl Correspondent New Delhi, June 29
As the government has cleared the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations to increase compensation for government employees, there are concerns about how the huge cash outgo on account of the hike is going to impact the fiscal situation of the economy. However, a section of experts are of the view that despite such concerns, on a net basis the pay hike will indeed be a huge boost to consumption demand and in turn contribute to the GDP growth. The nominal GDP growth too witnessed a slowdown in 2008-09 but saw a rebound in the two subsequent year - 15.1 percent rise in 2009-10 and whopping 20.2 percent rise in 2010-11.In 2015-16, India's GDP grew 7.6 percent and in the current year the Government has pegged the growth at around 7.5 percent. The GDP in absolute terms was at Rs 136 lakh crore in 201516. In 2016-17, the GDP stands at Rs 150.65 lakh crore (at current prices). What this also means is the impact of Seventh Pay Commission, if any, will be bigger than earlier. This is not to say that the entire GDP growth for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 was because of the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission. There were many other factors such as MNREGA,
