ESM report 28 March 2010

Dear Colleagues,

I addressed a largely attended rally of some 2000 ESM and families in Ballia District of Eastern UP today. It has been one of the best organized rallies thus far. Compliments are due to Veteran Tej Bahadur Singh ably supported by Veterans Capt Sharma, Hav Shrivastava, Naik Anil Pathak, Lt Kameshwar Pandey and a host of others. This is my second visit in this part of UP within a month. The increasing enthusiasm is clearly visible. They have already set their sights on the next rally in Ghamar village of Azamgarh District on 25 April 2010. I assured them that maximum members from the Governing Body would attend.

Apart from updating them on the latest developments, I also announced the recent Governing Body decision that in the next few months instead of centralized rallies in Delhi, where large attendances pose administrative and financial problems, we will be organising these gatherings in the States.

Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
