PUJA BONUS FOR CARE PROVIDERS

Puja Bonus for care providers
2014

Likely last years we arrange bonus for care provider which would be collected from inmates. Kitchen staffs’ bonus is always given by the management. Every year it makes a problem to collect money. This year we are circulating the lists of payees and payers with their amount, to be transparent. For next year, organization is thinking to collect money all along the year evenly distributed to 12 months. This will be effective from Oct 2014 onwards. One further notice, fixing the amount will be circulated among the members.
Inmates’ group is collecting money for puja purpose to give gifts to kitchen staffs. Organization has no relation with this collection.
