building 5th floor Dadar (East) Mumbai 400014 were circulated
to all members through what’s app as well as through e mail & also posted
in Associations’ Blog www.iproamh.com.
As such the minutes of the last AGM were got ratified unanimously.
6.
While welcoming all members present in the meeting, Shri R Ganesan, President
of the Association in his key note address, mentioned that he is happy to see
large gatherings in the meeting. He further stated that he was worried about
the membership in the initial stage of formation of this Association, but
today’s position of Association has dispelled all doubts about its strength. He
categorically mentioned that Mr Tauro’s persistent efforts yielded fruitful
results. He stated that outside members are more active, but there are more
than 100 stationed officers in Mumbai as well as Navi Mumbai Regions and we have
a membership of only 56 at present. We may be able to cross this if one present
member in Mumbai reaches out to at least one Retired Officer Stationed in
Mumbai as well as Navi Mumbai Regions so that we will be able to cross 200
membership by the next meeting.
He
further quoted an article published in “
THE INDIAN EXPRESS “ on Nov 4,2017 under the caption head “Ageing is inevitable, so do it well “ about health, friendship, longevity and good
family. A relating paragraph on the “Strengthen
social ties“ is reproduced below:
“Make friends. Volunteer. Join a club.
Stay connected. That is some of the most important advice you will ever get
about ageing well. A large body of scientific research shows that social
interaction having strong, happy relationships with family, friends and
community members is an important factor in good health and longevity. And
here’s an amazing fact about your friendships they can compensate for your bad
habits Research have shown that people with close social ties who had unhealthy
habits like smoking and lack of exercise actually lived longer than healthy people
who were more isolated. Obviously, friendship can only go so far. It’s better
to have healthy habits and friendship. On average, people with healthful
lifestyles and close relationships live the longest.
Why
are close friends and family ties good for us? They give us emotional support
that can help us cope with stress. They can be positive influence, helping us
create healthy habits (if your friends do not smoke, you probably don’t either)
Studies show friendships give us higher self-esteem, greater empathy for others
and make us more trusting and cooperative. And perhaps more important: As we
age our friends and family give us a sense of purpose and a reason to keep
getting up in the morning.”
7.
The “revision of pension “on notional pay as per orders dated 12/05/2017 was
deliberated in detail amongst all members. It was pointed out by Shri J.S.Patil
that from Mumbai Region no Officer has received the revised pension though the
target date was 30th September 2017 as per Dte Orders. Out of 31
attending members only one Officer from Thane had received the Revision in
Pension. It was unanimously decided to write to CPMG Maharashtra Circle Mumbai
after getting feedback from members of Association individually. Secretary will
prepare the Draft & circulate it to the Executive Committee for their comments.
8.
Regarding the Outstanding Subscription & recovery of outstanding
subscription it was unanimously decided to open Post Office S.B. Account and to
circulate to all the members so that they can deposit the subscription in that
account from any Post Office across India. As the Annual Subscription of many
members was outstanding it was requested by the Secretary to all members to
ensure up to date payment of Annual Subscription.
