Dear veterans
I had earlier transferred an amount of Rs 30,000/- on 1 Jan 2009 on behalf of DSOI, Palakkad and some members/non-members. This was an advance payment. Today I have transferred another Rs 35,700/- to the same a/c (HDFC SB a/c No 06162000001330 of IESM). This was the total collection till date on account of subscription towards membership of 50 veterans/widows and their donations, including donations from two veterans who have not become members. The details are in the Excel document attached. (Not in the format provided by IESM. That data sheet shall be send shortly). The covering letter, cheque deposit receipt of 16/2/09 and speedpost receipt of 16/2/09 are all in jpg form. The effort to get more members shall continue but the forwarding of applications/transfer of money shall be done only if the number exceeds 10 or the amount exceeds Rs 10,000/-.
Wishing the movement all the best.
Incidently the Kerala State Ex-services League, affiliated to the IESL, has organised a vehicle jaatha from Kasargode to Thiruvananthapuram. It commenced on 8th Feb and will end on 21 Feb. It was at Palakkad on 13th. The obectives as declared by the organisers are manifold:
* One India, one people
* Against communal separatism
* Against terrorism
* Know your armed forces and veterans
* Stop discrimination against veterans
* Condemn the 6th cpc anomalies
* One rank, one pension
* Provide financial assistance of Rs 1000/- to WWII veterans and to their widows
* Allot land for ECHS polyclinics.
The jatha captain is Varghese Kappil, Secretary of KSESL.
Regards and best wishes

VERY WELL DONE MAJ RAVINDRAN. To do this single handed is great. Many other veterans should follow your example to ensure the success of IESM– REPORT MY SIGNAL
Dear Brig Kamboj,
It is a heartening to see the IESM being carried forward with the precision and clarity the Armed Forces operations are known for. It is a precise action and your vigour along with that of Gen Kadyan, Gen Surjit Singh and others is truly commendable and must be complimented. Very rightly as suggested- the pressure must not be eased and the movement must stir the conscience of the nation.
It would be a fine gesture if the other Ex Servicemen organisations are invited to join and be part of a movement for common goals. Knowing you, it must have been done already. The older organisations have their own standing and imperatives but probably if invited, they will join. They are democratic setups and their members will find an invitation individually beneficial and irresistable. We have certain pockets where exservicemen live in clusters. I wonder if they have given substantial support to the IESM. The Aim is clear and unambiguous, and will be achieved,
Even after this event is over, we as an org must make sure that our presence continues to be felt. The dedicated and selfless leadership that is emerging based on concensus and common goals, aided by a massive communication network will be able to achieve so much more that has gone adrift and amiss for the ESM in the last five decades.
It is good to see the response of ESM - will it be feasible to put up names of those who have become members via normal post on the e-mail? It means that every member will be listed on the Net.
Best of Luck- keep up the tremendous work
