The purpose of this settlement is to improve the condition of the employees for their better cooperation in the public sector. In 1964, from the Trivandrum Conference of AIBEA, it was a call that was given to launch a bitter struggle asking for bilateral talks and Bipartite settlement in 1966.

Since then, there has been few changes over the years in this settlement. But finally, with the latest 11^th Bipartite settlement has been the most successful one so far.
