A very important input on ECHS is appended below.
Very small percentage of veterans are on email.
Kindly do your best to pass on this information to maximum number of veterans and their dependents.
Take a printout and place it on notice boards at all CSD canteens, community centres, officers clubs and other suitable places. Also keep passing the information on phone and by word of mouth.
THANK YOU.
In service of Indian Military Veterans

Re: Circular 449
Dear Sir
As per GOI MOD Dept of ESW letter 17(4)/2008(1)/D(Pen/Pol) letter dated 21 May 2009 the Family pension of Lt Col and Equivalent is fixed as Rs 15420. As per the latest Circular 449 family pension for Lt Col and equivalent is fixed as 8760. Why this reduction and the justification for the same? The 60% of max pension of Lt Col is 15420 whereas 8760 is much less. This is a typographical error in the GOI MOD Dept of ESW letter 17(3)/2010/D(Pen/Pol) letter dated 15 Non 2010.
It is requested that the error be corrected on an urgent basis before the PDA act on the same and start recovery process.

Veteran welfare: Views and Responses
National Role For India's Veterans By Maj Gen S.G.Vombatkere (Retd)

Col Inderjit Singh has expressed his thoughts on 8 Jan 2011 on this blog. There is no need of a rejoinder to counter his ideas. It appears that he is in different frame of mind. He has alleged that IESM executives have political ambitions. He is wide off the mark. He is unable to see the writing on the wall.
If the IESM can address to various congress leaders to high-light woes of ex-servicemen, IESM can also address to the leaders of other polical parties to fulfill their aims. What is wrong in that? He also claims that he can settle the issue in one year if the IESM stops its activities. He is in some wonderland. IESM came only in 2008. The struggle for OROP has been going on since 1984. It is very well known that IESM is functioning very peacefully.It cannot cause any hindrance to any one.
We hope all the best and long life and God Speed for IESM.

Participation of War Wounded Foundation in Mumbai Marathon
Dear Chander,
I am forwarding a Press Release, which you may like to publish in your blog. Thanks.
Best wishes for the New Year.
Warm regards.

Former Director Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS)
MUMBAI MARATHON 2011, PRESS RELEASE
PARTICIPATION BY WAR DISABLED PERSONNEL OF THE WAR WOUNDED FOUNDATION
The Mumbai Marathon 2011 is being held on Sunday 16 January 2011 at Mumbai. This is an annual event, in which participation is usually high.
For the first time, war disabled members of the War Wounded Foundation will be participating in the Marathon. The team of the War Wounded Foundation will be lead by their President, Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi (Age 70) and Vice President Maj Gen Ian Cardozo (Age 73), who are both senior citizens and are themselves war disabled. The rest of the team will consist of one JCO and seven jawans, all war disabled, with disabilities of various percentages and with one or more limb missing in most cases.
The participation by the members of the War Wounded Foundation is primarily for the ‘visibility’ of the Foundation and to highlight the work being done by the Foundation for the long term rehabilitation of all war disabled personnel of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Another aim is to highlight the lack of interest the government takes in assisting the war disabled personnel to lead a dignified and financially secure life.
Any encouragement to the war disabled personnel would be appreciated. You are requested to give wide publicity to this first time participation of the war disabled personnel in this important event.
Thank you and Jai Hind.
Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi
President
