There has been continuous erosion in the pay, status and career prospects of engineers when compared with other civil services since independence. The role of engineers and technocrats in nation building has been duly acknowledged not only by the leaders of our nation but also by the public at large. The bureaucracy could act as a facilitator of science and technological development, but it should not be allowed to dominate over these professionals. The status, pay structure and career progression of Engineering Services all over the country were once equal to those of civil services, but now they are far behind them. In order to restore these anomalies, USAA strives to meet the demands.

• Heading and manning of technical departments by technical personnel.
• Removal of disparity in carrier values for Engineers vis-à-vis administrative services.

USAA coordinates with all the States / Central Associations through Uttarakhand Engineers Federation (UEF). By this way, all the serving Engineers in the state are covered under the umbrella of INDEF.

What can USAA do for you?
