Dear Colleagues,
Some of the decisions taken during the Steering Committee meeting held on
11 October are given below:
· The proposed reduction in membership fee was discussed at length. It was decided to continue with the existing rates as these are considered reasonable. Besides, any reduction will be resented and questioned by existing members who have already paid.
· On the unfortunate exchange of some emails, involving even personal attacks, it was decided not to respond and maintain silence. Hopefully, with passage of time tempers will cool down enough to enable all colleagues to see the larger picture and work jointly towards the common goal of ESM welfare.
· Issue of membership cards is to be undertaken expeditiously. A simple card will be designed showing the minimum essential details and printed on priority. This will then be despatched to members by postal mail.
· The policy of depositing of medals to continue. The next date for this is 25 October 2009.
· The paper already under preparation on OROP to be circulated to the Steering Committee by Wednesday, 14 October. It will be analysed and refined for presentation to the government.
· Conveners for all States and Districts to be appointed at the earliest.
· Contact must be (re)established with maximum politicians of diverse parties so that they can be briefed on the details of OROP for raising the issue in the winter session of the Parliament.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM.
