NHM Employees Association -REG JK UT, Jammu (2026)

26/08/2026

I, Rohit Seth, would like to say to all of you that whatever questions, doubts, concerns, or apprehensions you may have regarding the Union, I am ready to answer each and every question.

My heartfelt appeal to all the leadership is to stop fighting among ourselves. If we continue to fight with each other even today, we will not be able to achieve anything. I extend an open invitation to all of you: let us sit together, discuss our issues, and come together under one umbrella and on one common platform.

I also make a special appeal to the Kashmir Union to communicate with all groups and organisations of the Kashmir Division and make every possible effort to bring everyone onto one common platform. No one should consider themselves the strongest. The real strength lies in unity.

Let us stop opposing one another and stop trying to weaken each other. We have witnessed a lot since 2018, but if we continue to remain divided even today, the future of NHM employees will not become stronger.

All employees of the Kashmir Division and all employees of the Jammu Division are like my brothers and sisters. It is my sincere desire that all NHM employees of Jammu and Kashmir come together on a single platform and become one strong and united voice.

If, even after this, any leadership chooses to continue fighting among themselves, they should not think that such a fight is doing anything for the welfare of NHM employees. Such internal conflicts only weaken the future of our employees.

No one should consider this appeal as my weakness. Our entire Association team wants all NHM employees to come together under one umbrella so that we can work firmly and collectively in the interest of NHM employees.

I sincerely thank all the NHM employees of Jammu and Kashmir for always extending their support and trust to me and to our Association.

There have been attempts by some people to damage my image and to spread wrong information about me. However, I do not want any personal fight against anyone. For me, every leader and every employee is my own, like a brother or sister.

I am ready to answer every question of every NHM employee. I know that I have not done anything wrong, and I firmly believe that I have always raised the issues and interests of NHM employees with strength and sincerity.

Our Association makes every possible effort to place the problems of every category and every employee of NHM before the concerned officers. We listen to every category, and the interests and concerns of every employee are given importance.

Therefore, once again, my appeal to all the leadership and all NHM employees is:

Let us forget our differences.

Let us stop opposing one another.

Let us come onto one common platform.

Let us come together under one umbrella.

And let us fight unitedly for the rights and a better future of NHM employees.

If any employee or any leader has any question, complaint, concern, or misunderstanding regarding me, they can speak to me directly. Anyone can call me or contact me through a message. I am ready to meet every NHM employee and every leader and listen to their concerns.

We have also tried several times in the past to contact different leaders because our Association wanted to take everyone along even then, and our thinking remains the same today.

Finally, I would also like to sincerely thank the entire team of my Association, which has always stood by me and supported me in working for the interests and welfare of NHM employees.

Our objective is not to fight with anyone.

Our objective is to unite NHM employees.

Our fight is not against any individual. Our fight is for the rights, dignity, welfare, and better future of NHM employees.

Yours like a brother,

Rohit Seth

A STRONG AND UNAMBIGUOUS MESSAGE TO ALL NHM EMPLOYEES

I, Rohit Seth, want to make one thing absolutely clear today.

Our Association did not become a Registered Association merely because someone claimed it should be. It became registered only after the required official process, verification and scrutiny by the competent authorities. Our Association’s documents and records are available with the concerned Government authorities as required.

And therefore, a very simple question needs to be asked:

Why is our Registered Association repeatedly being questioned by certain self-styled leaders?

If anyone has a genuine objection regarding our Association, they are free to raise it before the appropriate authority with facts, documents and evidence. But making personal allegations, spreading confusion among employees or attempting to damage the credibility of a Registered Association without proper facts is completely unacceptable.

Let me make another point absolutely clear:

Our Association is not built around one individual. It stands on the confidence, support and unity of NHM employees.

Our objective is not to fight with other leaders. Our objective is to bring the NHM fraternity together under one strong, united and responsible platform so that our genuine demands can be pursued with a stronger collective voice.

However, if anyone repeatedly attempts to question our registration, our legitimacy or our official standing without any factual basis, we will not remain silent.

If such attempts are repeated, we will approach the competent Government authorities in writing and request a fair, transparent and uniform verification of all NHM Associations/Unions, without exception.

Let the verification be comprehensive and impartial, as permissible under the applicable rules including verification of registration-related records, Bye-Laws, office-bearer details, statutory records, accounts and other relevant documents.

If transparency is being demanded, then transparency must apply equally to everyone.

We have absolutely nothing to fear from a lawful and impartial verification of records. In fact, we welcome transparency because our Association has nothing to hide.

But what we will not accept is a situation where one Registered Association is repeatedly targeted while others are conveniently kept outside the discussion.

If there is to be scrutiny, let there be equal scrutiny.
If there is to be verification, let there be uniform verification.
If there are questions, let them be answered through official records not rumours.

To those who are presenting themselves as “leaders” without having the authority to speak on behalf of the entire NHM fraternity, I have only one message:

Do not confuse personal statements with official authority.

Before pointing fingers at a Registered Association, first understand the official process through which it was registered. If you have evidence of any violation, take it to the competent authority. Otherwise, stop misleading employees with baseless allegations.

We are not interested in personal fights.

We are interested in Regularization, Equal Pay for Equal Work, salary enhancement, job security, social security and every other genuine demand of NHM employees.

But our silence should never be mistaken for weakness.

We have remained silent because our priority is the welfare of NHM employees not personal controversy.

If someone chooses to repeatedly cross that line, we will respond through the proper legal and official channels, with facts and documents.

No threats.
No personal attacks.
No unnecessary arguments.

Only facts, official records and the appropriate authorities.

Every NHM employee deserves to know the truth. Nobody should be misled by WhatsApp messages, social-media statements or personal propaganda.

Our message is therefore very clear:

Our Association is Registered.
The required official process has been followed.
Our records are available with the concerned authorities.
We welcome lawful transparency.
We welcome fair verification.
And we will strongly oppose any attempt to deliberately mislead NHM employees or undermine our Association without facts.

And if anyone believes that our Association should be questioned, then let the same standard be applied to every NHM Association/Union.

No selective questions.
No selective scrutiny.
No selective targeting.
The same rules for everyone.

Our strength does not come from making loud claims.

Our strength comes from our employees, our unity, our official status and our commitment to the genuine cause of NHM employees.

I appeal to every NHM employee: remain united, remain informed and do not allow anyone to divide you.

Because the real issue is not Rohit Seth versus anyone.

The real issue is:

NHM employees versus the problems they have been facing for years.

And on that issue, we will continue to stand firm.

One Association.
One United Voice.
One Common Cause.
One Fight for the Rights and Future of NHM Employees.

It is absolutely clear that the decision referred is a decision of a particular group or leadership in the NHMEA-REG JK UT, and nobody should present it as such.

Till date, we have never interfered in the internal matters, internal leadership issues, or internal decisions of the Kashmir Division. We expect the same respect in return. If you have internal differences or disagreements regarding your leadership, association, or strategy, those matters should be resolved within your own platform through mutual discussion.

If you do not know us, we also have no reason to know or recognize individuals or leadership structures with whom we have no organizational association. Therefore, there is no need to repeatedly discuss who we recognize or do not recognize. NHMEA-REG JK UT has its own registered organizational structure, its own leadership, and its own decisions.

We have remained silent deliberately, not because we are weak. Our silence has been for the larger interest of NHM employees so that employees are not further disturbed or divided during an already difficult period. However, our silence should not be misunderstood as weakness or taken as an opportunity to make unnecessary allegations against us.

We have never entered into your internal matters, nor have we made personal comments about your leadership. We have consistently maintained that all NHM employees should work together for their rights, welfare, salary revision, equal pay for equal work, social security, job security and other genuine demands.

If someone from the Kashmir Division chooses to work with another platform because they have lost confidence in their existing platform, that is their individual organizational choice. It does not give anyone the right to question or target NHMEA-REG JK UT.

As far as the past is concerned, everyone is aware of what happened during 2018-19 and thereafter. We have deliberately avoided bringing old matters into the public domain because our priority is the welfare of employees. We strongly advise everyone to maintain the same restraint. There is no benefit in reopening old controversies or making allegations against one another when NHM employees are already facing serious issues.

If there are internal matters within your organization, please sit together, discuss them and resolve them among yourselves. We have never stopped anyone from strengthening their own platform, and we have no intention of interfering in your affairs.

At the same time, please do not repeatedly point fingers at NHMEA-REG JK UT or attempt to create confusion among employees. Everyone knows the strength of every platform and, more importantly, everyone can judge the actual work being done for employees.

We want all genuine NHM employees to work together. Anyone who genuinely wants to work with us for the welfare and betterment of NHM employees is welcome. Our doors are open to employees, not to unnecessary controversy, personal allegations or division.

Our strategy and programme will be decided by our own recognized organizational leadership after assessing the situation and the interests of our employees. No decision taken by any other group can be imposed upon NHMEA-REG JK UT.

Let us therefore stop personal attacks, stop unnecessary allegations and concentrate on the genuine issues of NHM employees. Employees need unity, clarity and results, not further internal disputes.

We have maintained our dignity and restraint. It is in everyone's interest that this restraint continues to be respected.

Regards,
Rohit Seth

No one is above the law, and we must understand why the Association has taken the decision regarding 18 September.

Until today, the Association has not announced or fixed any date for a strike or protest. If anyone can show that NHMEA-REG JK UT has officially announced any fixed date before this, they are welcome to point it out.

Yes, a date may have been circulated or announced through some other platform, but the Association completely dissociates itself from any such announcement and has no connection with it. We are carrying out our work through proper and legal channels, without making allegations against anyone or creating unnecessary controversy.

At the same time, the Association is continuing its work seriously and responsibly, and the process is progressing well. Irrespective of what anyone may say, we cannot stop working for the genuine rights and demands of NHM employees.

Therefore, everyone needs to understand why the decision regarding 18 September has been taken and what preparations and circumstances have led to it. Every step is being taken carefully, responsibly, and within the legal framework.

Government of Jammu and Kashmir UT

Subject:-UT-Wide Strike and Strong Protest from 18 September if Genuine Demands Remain Unaddressed

The National Health Mission Employees Association, NHMEA-REG JK UT, representing NHM employees across Jammu and Kashmir, has issued a strong and final statement regarding the continued neglect of the genuine and long-pending demands of NHM employees.

NHM employees have remained patient for a considerable period and have repeatedly approached the Mission Directorate, administration, bureaucracy and the Government through representations, meetings and requests. Every possible democratic channel has been explored. Despite this, several fundamental issues affecting the livelihood, dignity and future security of NHM employees continue to remain unresolved.

The Association has repeatedly highlighted the concerns of employees, including salary-related issues, pay and salary revision and other legitimate demands concerning the welfare and security of NHM employees. These matters have also been brought before the Hon’ble Minister for Health and Medical Education, Ms. Sakina Itoo, who had assured the employees that their concerns were being considered and taken up with the concerned authorities.
However, assurances alone can no longer satisfy the employees. What NHM employees now need is a concrete decision, a clear roadmap and visible action.

NHM employees are the backbone of several essential health services across Jammu and Kashmir. They have continued to perform their duties under difficult circumstances and have contributed consistently to the public healthcare system. They cannot be expected to remain silent indefinitely while their genuine concerns continue to be postponed.

The Association therefore makes it unequivocally clear that 17 September 2026 is the FINAL DEADLINE being given to the Government to take meaningful and concrete action on the genuine demands of NHM employees.
If no satisfactory and substantial action is taken by 17 September 2026, NHMEA-REG JK UT will proceed with a UT-wide STRIKE and an INTENSIFIED PROTEST from 18 September 2026.

This will not be an isolated protest concerning one category or one section. Employees from all sections of NHM across Jammu and Kashmir will be called upon to stand united and participate in the agitation under the banner of NHMEA-REG JK UT.

The Association sincerely expects the Government to understand the seriousness of the situation and intervene before the deadline. We still believe that meaningful dialogue and negotiation can resolve the matter. However, if the genuine demands of NHM employees continue to be ignored, the Association will have no option but to proceed with the announced course of action.

This is our FINAL REQUISITION before agitation. After 17 September, there will be no further extension of assurances. From 18 September 2026, NHM employees will launch a united and intensified agitation across Jammu and Kashmir for their legitimate rights, dignity and future security.

NHMEA-REG JK UT calls upon the Government to act before the situation reaches that stage and to initiate an immediate, transparent and meaningful dialogue with the recognised Association.

Today, NHMEA-REG JK UT held an online meeting with representatives from both the Jammu and Kashmir Divisions.

During the meeting, several important issues concerning NHM Employees were discussed in detail, along with the further course of action to be adopted by the Association.

The Association assures all NHM Employees that we are standing firmly with you and will continue to raise your genuine concerns. We also want to inform all employees to remain prepared, as the Association is going to take a major decision in the coming days.

Several important decisions have been discussed and agreed upon, keeping the interests and welfare of every NHM Employee in mind. We assure you that any course of action taken by the Association will be aimed at protecting the genuine rights and interests of our employees.

We request every NHM Employee to remain united and have faith and trust in the leadership of the Association. Your cooperation, unity and support will be crucial in the days ahead.

There is some good news regarding the early disbursement of salaries and other salary-related issues, and we appreciate the efforts being made in this regard.

However, we would like to place a humble request before the Mission Director, NHM, Ms. Akriti Sagar. We request that the responsibility for salary disbursement and other salary-related matters may once again be entrusted to the concerned NHM BAM/DAM officials.

NHM employees believe that this would help resolve many of the difficulties they are currently facing. At present, employees often find it difficult to get their salary-related concerns properly heard and addressed, which leads to unnecessary delays and inconvenience.

We therefore request the Hon’ble Mission Director to kindly look into this matter and consider restoring the responsibility to the NHM BAM/DAM level, so that employees can have a more accessible and accountable mechanism for resolving their genuine salary-related issues.

We hope that the matter will receive your kind consideration in the interest of NHM employees.

Regards,
NHM Employees Association

21/08/2026

The same policy and benefits should also be extended to NHM Employees, on the same lines as the important step taken today for the Non-Gazetted Employees of the Government Medical Colleges (GMCs).

NHM Employees have been serving the healthcare system with dedication and commitment for years. Therefore, they too deserve fair and equal consideration in matters concerning their service conditions, benefits and welfare.

Hon’ble Minister for Health and Medical Education, Ms. Sakina Itoo, we have already submitted this matter for your kind consideration. We once again humbly request your good self to kindly look into the issue and extend the same consideration to NHM Employees as well.

We sincerely hope that the genuine concerns and long-pending demands of NHM Employees will receive your kind attention and appropriate action.

20/08/2026

This letter from Dr. Sheikh Ayoob was received by us this morning, in which he sought consent to join an association that is genuinely working for the betterment and welfare of NHM Employees, rather than for personal interests or merely for publicity and photoshoots.

We, along with the entire association, consider ourselves fortunate to have such dedicated and courageous employees joining our organization and contributing their efforts at the ground level for the genuine welfare of NHM Employees.

Dr. Sheikh Ayoob, we wholeheartedly welcome you to our association. We look forward to working together with dedication, unity and sincerity for the rights, dignity and welfare of every NHM Employee.
