IESM: No Pain No Gain- Struggle for ESM Welfare is a continuous process

To: The Chairman IESM

Dear Sir,
1. The latest news of up-gradation of the pay-band of Lt Col rank from PB3 to PB4 has been indeed a heart warming outcome of the efforts of IESM and their members who supported the cause at various levels and through various sources including the efforts put in by the three Chiefs of Armed Forces and the Media. Much more does remains to be achieved for both the serving and retired personnel including rank/ status parity and OROP, as applicable. It is the persistence in efforts and due diligence in subtle handling of the issues which has made the change in the thinking of the Government. It is also evident that this approach alone may not help in future in obtaining the desired level of perceived justice. More vigorous approach and efforts may henceforth be required to undo the injustice meted out to both the men in uniform and the Veterans. The former is bound by the well perceived/ known discipline but the later is not bound by the same even though the instinct may prevent him otherwise, yet he is free to have liberal approach in this matter, to extract justice. And thus the onus, in a way, does fall on the shoulders of the IESM. So Bravado IESM.

2. We, the members of the Club-20, which is an informal group of retired IAF Engineer Officers (in the age band of 70+1 yrs) wish to place our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all members of the IESM and through its medium, the three Chiefs of the Defence Forces and all others including the Media, who helped in achieving the results noted above. We also affirm our sincere commitments for the baton raised by the IESM for achieving justice.

3. With good wishes,
I Jairath
Gp Capt (Retd)
Club 20
