5) Thereafter, Shri R Ganesan President
addressed all members. First of all he thanked Mr. Tauro Secretary for all the
efforts taken to keep in touch with all the members and also to organize today’s
meeting successfully. He stated that he was happy to see the enthusiasm among
members to participate. However the attendance of members needed improvement as
per his expectation to make the Association more effective in attending to the
issues which may come up in future.
He then
elaborated the details of earlier CPCs relating to pensioners and added that
the 7th CPC has more or less maintained the status quo in respect of
most of the benefits, with only incremental changes in keeping with inflation
linked pay hike for the serving employees.
He further stated that the Association
Secretary will give details of 7th CPC before concluding the
meeting.
He also
suggested in the context of the letter written to AD (PSR) seeking permission
to hold the meeting in Dadar IQ, to write a letter to CPMG, Mumbai about our
Association and also fix a meeting with him in the first fortnight of January
2016 so that it can be given to him personally and apprise the HOC about us.
6) Col.K C
Mishra VSM Vice- president of the Association, before giving his speech on
“Holistic Health Care and Wellness”, thanked all. He stated that he would like
to share the activities of retired officers’ Association at Pune. He mentioned
that the information of retired officers was collected through Post Offices
from where they get their pension, and kept a meeting at Lonavala for a day
wherein more than 30 retired officers residing in Pune attended the same,
discussed various issues and enjoyed a lot. He further mentioned that the next
meeting would be organized at Mahabaleshwar which received spontaneous response
from members. He stated that the Charity Commissioner, Pune has also been
addressed for registration.
On his subject “Holistic Health Care and Wellness”, he
spoke in detail for about 45 minutes to explain the steps required for keeping
a good health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He explained
in details Aroma therapy, Energy based therapy, Aurveda medicine, vibration
therapy, Naturopathy medicine, Acupressure etc. He briefed about food that are
to be taken in our daily diet and those foods which need to be avoided for
better health. The speech was very useful for our members to keep fit in their
day to day routine life. All have appreciated this.
7)Shri V K Khanna while speaking on the subject of “ Opportunities to
Retired Officers for their gainful engagement“, mentioned that now- a
-days lot of skill is sought for
engagement of job. But he stated that any kind of job or job requirement,
dedication is more important. He gave example of Shri Sakalkale ex-CPMG. He
preferred the job of teaching where the remuneration was small but get free
time than getting a job for more than 8 hours. Part time employment is
necessary for retired officers; they can join NGOs or healthy Societies as
managers which is a part time job. He did not recommend job for enterprises as
one would loose peace of mind, any job for retired personnel would depend on
how much time he could work.
While summing up his speech, he specified the
following categories where the job could be preferred
1) Business
----own job
2) Examiners of
Trade Marks Registry
3) Part time
engagement in Govt.
4) Managers in
Societies
