Minimum Pension of Rs.1000 for EPF Pensioners

30 Tuesday Sep 2014

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

The government inaugurated the Minimum Pension Scheme of Rs. 1000 to EPF pensioners w.e.f. 01-10-2014. Wage ceiling for eligibility of social security measures have also been increased from Rs. 6500 to Rs.15,000. It is stated by govt. that this will benefit 32 lakh Pensioners.
This is one of the long pending demands of Pensioners. The Central trade Unions have been putting much pressure on the government. The UPA government had declared that this will be done, but they did not issue orders till the general elections.

GREETINGS ON BSNL DAY, 1 OCTOBER !

1 October 2014, BSNL Anniversary

BSNL is completing 14 years of its service to the people of India on this 1st October 2014. It was formed on 1st October 2000, converted from the Department of Telecom and Department of Telecom Services to a Public Sector Unit. Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) and Mahanagar Telephones Nigam Limited were also formed earlier in the same way. VSNL is already sold to the Tata Telecommunications for a meagre amount, coming not even to half of its real price. Hence the workers have not allowed even 1% of disinvestment.

The immediate task is the Revival of BSNL. The Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations and all the unions/Associations are together in strengthening the organisation. But unless the government changes its policy and the management starts functioning effectively, it will be very difficult.

However, we are optimistic. Let us bring all the stakeholders together to work and strengthen BSNL and provide a better service to the nation.

Let this be the task for the 15th year of BSNL !

After Chief Minister’s entry temple and idol cleaned and washed !

28 Sunday Sep 2014

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General

≈ Leave a comment

Times are going forward or backwards? The latest news is that a temple and idol in Bihar was cleaned and washed after the Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, a mahadalit, visited the temple. It happened in a temple in Madhubani District in Bihar.

This is outrageous. Everybody has got a right to enter the temple in this free country. The priest and others who had done the wrong thing should be taken to task.

imprisonment, Jayalalitha

The judgment convicting Miss Jayalalitha, Chief Minister of T.Nadu, for 4 years imprisonment in a case of disproportinate assets gives a good lesson that the justice can be real justice without fear or favour, at least some times.
Let this be a lesson to the corrupt politicians that someday they will be caught.
