Dear Colleagues,

Quote
Today's Hindustan Times 24 May 2009 gives 5 priorities for the Defence Minister the "TO-DO -LIST". They are listed on page 7 as under:
1. Ensure transparency in Defence deals.
2. Big tenders not secretive.
3. Speed up procurement of fighter jets
4. Define Indo-US military relations
5. Take a fresh look at the One Rank one Pension demand of war Veterans (OROP) Unquote
It is happy news that the OROP demand in on the government’s radar screen. It also validates the efforts put in by thousands of ESM over the last one year to bring the issue to this stage.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
