Dear Members,
IESM has been
spearheading the your fight for OROP. IESM has met almost all the
officers in line to sanction OROP, arranged rallies in Delhi and other
parts of country, sat on hunger strike, deposited our precious gallantry
medals to the President and submitted memos signed with our blood to
President and Government. Last but not the least even flexed out muscle
of vote power.
All these
methods put together had their impact and Government both UPA and NDA
agreed to grant our long cherished and most deserving demand of OROP.
OROP was finally granted by Government in budget presented in 2014. But
this was not the final and last step for OROP, in-fact this was the
first positive step to OROP. Most of us are unaware of serpentine
galleries of Government which a file has to travel for approval.
It has taken
more than one year for IESM to convince the powers that be that ESM will
not accept any dilution in definition of OROP. Raksha Mantri Mr Manohar
Parikkar is a man of principle and he understood the nuances of OROP
and also the neglect of ESM since last many decades. He took it upon
himself to over rule all objections raised by MOD/CDA/DESW combine about
OROP. He approved OROP and sent the file to Finance Minister.
Good news has just come that OROP file has been cleared and OROP has been given political clearance also.
Mr Nitin Gokhle met RM Mr Manohar Parikkar on 9 Apr 15. RM has
confirmed to him that OROP has been approved at all levels and has been
given political clearance also. Nitin Gokhle had been cleared by RM to
inform the environment.
Accordingly he sent a message for approval of OROP . His message is repeated below.
April 10, 2015 12:23 IST
Military veterans are finally set to get their dues following Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar's assertion that the 'One Rank One Pension' scheme is just weeks away from being implemented, reports Nitin Gokhale.
The long-pending 'One Rank One Pension,' scheme meant to ensure that a uniform pension is paid to defence personnel who retire at the same rank with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement, is now weeks away from actual implementation, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said.
Speaking to this correspondent in Delhi on Thursday, April 9, the minister said: "All hurdles, including a political clearance on its financial implications, have been removed. Now the actual calculation and administrative details are being worked out. We are sure to get the scheme rolling in the next few weeks."Admitting that there is huge skepticism over the implementation of the One Rank One Pension scheme, Parrikar said: "This time we have ensured that nothing goes wrong."
The long-standing demand has been an emotive issue with defence pensioners for almost half a decade with many of them even marching in protest several times to Rashtrapati Bhavan between 2008 and 2010 to return their gallantry medals.IESM CONVEYS ITS SINCERE THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND RAKSHA MANTRI MR MANOHAR PARIKKAR FOR FULFILLING PROMISE MADE IN THEIR MANIFESTO.Dear veterans it is time to celebrate. We can have a drink tonight and celebrate OROP which is likely to see day light after 30 years of struggle.Our real struggles starts today as we have to ensure that language of Government notification is not tweaked to take away the advantage of OROP.
ESM's have had very sour experience in past wherein advantage of Rank Pay and 6CPC were denied to ESM by tweaking few words in the Government letters. This resulted in long court battles which ofcourse have been won by ESM. Armed Forces Hq and all ESM organisations will have to ensure that the Government letter issued is true to spirit of OROP.
-------------------------------------------------VETERANS; THIS HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY UNITY OF VETERANS FOR OROP. LET US REMAIN UNITED TO IMPROVE CONDITION OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.----------------------------------------------------IESM will report more details as and when received.

a year has got how many weeks or weaks. weeks away means cardinal or ordinal number that is immaterial. He is recreating with the word week before it was 4 to 8 weeks now it has modified into weeks away. it is mere tweak or meek finally it is mock drill let the god save the indian ex defense personnel
ReplyDeleteALL HOAX.. KINDLY READ BETWEEN LINES..."the 'One Rank One Pension' scheme is just weeks away from being implemented, reports Nitin Gokhale."
ReplyDeleteTHE OROP IS JUST WEEK AWAY.. IN A YEAR THERE ARE 52 WEEKS, THE OROP WAS APPROVED 52 WEEKS AGO,, SO FAR NO SIGN OF PAYMENT.. IT SEEMS RESEARCH IS BEING DONE ON OROP BY BABUS,
[ LIKE EINSTEIN THEORY] ... JUST WEEKS AHEAD ...THE NUMBER OF WEEKS [ JUST] HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFIED... THE OROP FOR JUDGES & CHIEF SECRETARIES NEVER TOOK SO LONG ..WHY ?? MAKE FORCES SUFFER

Thanks to All
ReplyDeleteThanks sir for so nice news
ReplyDeleteWeeks away? What does it mean? Mr defence minister has become a typical politician who talks in abstract terms. He has clean forgotten the mantra of being precise that we were all taught at the IITs.
ReplyDeleteAny how, Thanks to Grp Capt VK Gandhi who assured us to cheer up with glass.
ReplyDeleteVK Gandhi chale chalo
Hum aapke saath hai
Today defence minister given interview to IBN 7 that one rank one pension will be implemented within one year of modi govt taken oath i.e before 15 may 2015. He was stating that some thing today came from Supreme court. I have to study that also.
ReplyDeleteAny way, let us wait for some more weeks with patience for OROP.
ReplyDeletePeople are tired of getting the same news since a long time nd that is very soon OROP will be issued. Army/Air force/Navy works is a strict disciplined manner. Why the same principle cannot be followed by Defense minister when making statement about implementing OROP? Why he is not giving order to implement and release the payment when funds has been transferred? Why he is lingering with the issue? General Dalbir Singh Suhag said OROP will be implemented by April end. Can we hear further updates from our general?
ReplyDeleteGENERAL HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT HAS BEEN ON THE WALL OF CHETWOOD HALL
Deletewhat a shame, despite so many false promises we still belive our politicians.why they don't feel ashamed of lieing to the veteran IESM, still giving tharik pe tharik.
ReplyDeleteSir, Gp Capt VK Gandhi has become VERY KIND GOD because whatever he speak that should be taken as authenticated, he meets every veteran but he should not accept any further extention of date form the Govt until PM Narendra Modi ,RM Manohar Parrikar and FM Arun Jaitly gives in writing, they have lost the faith because of non clearing OROP file.Now we should not take our step back. Defence personnel is always go farward to achieve their targets. Regards. Ex MWO SN Sharma,Jaipur.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis above expressed post is just good. It will be quite assisting for many peoples...
latest world breaking news
sir, I have read in news paper today that doughter of General VKSingh has also support to the veterane
ReplyDeleteSir, I am saluting to the 95 old years M/O Col Pushpendra Singh and who is also the wife of late Lt Col who has sat on the Hunger Strike along with his son and other two vetrans at JM New Delhi . It is a shame full to the PM , RM and FM who is still thinking about OROP Implementation . Now doughter of General VK Singh has also joined the rally who's husband is also a Lt Col in Army , at list now General VK Singh and Col Rathore should come forward and speak about implementation OROP date with the concurrance of PM.It is also good that Former chiefs of all three services has written a open letter to the President of India who is also a Supreme Commander of Defence services for implementation of OROP. Jai Hind. Regards . Ex MWO SN Sharma,Jaipur.
PENNY WISE , POUND FOOLISH
ReplyDelete82 days of relay hunger strike and 20 days of fast unto death; veteran in critical condition rushed to hospital. All these do not move the Govt to come to an honourable settlement.
Our beloved Prime Minister has no time to even look towards fasting veterans on whose sacrifice Indians including PM live in this country in absolute safety and security. Most of the ex soldiers who are fasting in JM are the same heroes you worshipped during 1965 and on whose victory you are organizing events in Amar Jawan Jyothi and other places. you praise them for their valour on the one hand and treat them like beggars on the other hand. In 1965 they offered their life for the nation and now, 50 years after are forced to sacrifice their life to preserve their honour. What an irony?
He who promised OROP is now un concerned about how it is being distorted and proposed to be implemented unilaterally. OROP has only one definition which was presented and passed in the temple of democracy , the Indian Parliament. There cannot be anything more sacrosanct than this. The attempt to defile that definition is, to say the least, blasphemous The PM should have prevented any effort by anyone to alter the definition, because it was his promise that OROP will be implemented. But what is now proposed by the Govt is not OROP but “ORMP” one rank many pensions.
Further, how silly and childish the draft looks. Date of implementation July1 instead April 1, 2014; base year Sept 2013 in place of April 2014, equalization after 5 years instead 2 years as graciously agreed by ESMs. How much will the Govt save by these amendments? 2100 crores which will progressively decrease yearly and completely neutralized in 6 years.
Is this saving the fiscal prudence that FM was expounding? What about the expense on 5 star Hotel accommodation incurred on MPs and Ministers, about the subsidies on food and other perks of MPs. What about NFU of bureaucrats, what about the unilateral increase in pay of MPs? Do all these come under definition of fiscal prudence, Sir? And does the election bonanza of 1.25 lakh crore to Bihar and the magnanimous charity to Bangla Desh/ Mangolia etc. When it comes to 8300 crore for veterans the govt has to worry about fiscal prudence. Difficult to understand the strange economic theories.
This is what the English said”Penny wise, Pound foolish”
