EXWEL TRUST VISITS BOYS HOME

The Exwel Trust executives visited the ‘New Hope India Boys Home at Palayamkottai on 26.06.2010. The Home is taking care of 30 young boys who have been deserted by their aids affected parents. Some are even orphaned due to aids.

Most of these boys have come from Dharmapuri District of Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu Government should do something more to the people of this district towards their welfare.

The boy’s home was in need of some financial assistance for meeting the day to day expenses and the educational expenses of the boys.

Natarajan in consultation with other trustees interacted with the boys at the home and selected three boys and handed over a sum of Rs.4004/- to the Director of the Home Mr.Daniel. The amount will be used to meet the annual educational expenses for these three boys.

MISSION OF OUR TRUST MEMBERS TO HELP
YET ANOTHER WIDOW PENSIONER

On the request of Indian Overseas bank, Perumalpuram branch, Tirunelveli-District , to assist them in calculating arrears of pension as per CDA Cir 430 ,our Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.Kanthiah(Retd) visited the bank. On the on going revision process and arrears calculation works, he noticed that one widow Smt.Saraswathy w/o Late Hav/Clk had completed 80 years of age as her date of birth was 1-7-1928. She was not paid the Additional pension. Her particulars are :
Smt.Saraswathy w/o Late Hav/Clk.R.A.Thangaiah (662371, of ASC (Sup) Records.

PDA: IOB, Perumalpuram branch-627007, Tirunelveli-District, Tamil Nadu.SB a/c No.4592
Presently drawing Basic pension Rs.3500/-and DA.

The fact was brought to the knowledge of the Manager and he was kind enough to accept our submission and agreed to revise the pension and pay the arrears in this month itself.

On obtaining the Address of the Widow, Our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Flt.Lt.MP.Natarajan (Retd)and the Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah, went in search of the pensioner. But we could not trace out the pensioner in the available address , but the entire village came to know our visit. To our surprise, the widow along with her daughter, grandson and granddaughter came to our Trust office , the next day itself by the guidance of one of our veterans VM.Kandan who is also from the same village.
We were extremely happy that our mission did not go in vain. When we explained that she is going to get an additional pension of 20% and arrears of about 16000/ and an increase of Rs.945/ every month , she was so much happy and thanked our Trust members for doing such a help that too going at the door step of the widow pensioners. She was very happy to pose for a photograph with the Trust members. During the interaction with the aged widow, it was revealed that she has a widow daughter. She got a pleasant shock when we informed her that her widow daughter is also eligible for a pension after her demise. At last, this is an another achievement for untiring efforts of our Trust and we continue striving for extending such help.

Grandfathers celebrate Fathers day at Exwel Trust

WORLD FATHER’S DAY

CELEBRATED BY GRAND FATHERS

Father's Day is a day honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. It is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in 55 countries and on ther days elsewhere. It complements Mother's Day, the celebration honoring mothers. It is a widely known celebration.

On the eve of FATHE’S DAY, on 3rd Sunday of Jun 2010, our EXWEL trust, invited about 20 Octogenarian Veterans for observing the day’s function. 18 of the invitees attended the Day’s celebrations. They were all happy recalling their olden days in civil and military life and shared their present state of life. It was really a good and lively gathering. All the participants were ALL GRAND FATHERS. (Having number of sons, daughters, grand sons & grand daughters, grand grand sons and grand grand daughters.)

It was heartening to see that most these men were accompanied by their grand daughters and grand sons. They say their sons are too busy therefore they could not accompany them. Whatever it may be, the meeting gave a wide impression that these aged men are not really happy. Not even a single son appeared in the meeting to praise his father. It does not mean that they are neglecting them. This is the present environment that is forcing such a life. Therefore the elders should understand and seek a peaceful life.

The trend of children Tat present and in future was discussed in length and each one of the participants was in the opinion that an OLD AGE home is a must and and it has taken a momentum in the recent days. We all deliberated on the feasibility of starting an old age home in our area. The elders requested our Welfare Trust to take initiative in this direction. Then, all agreed to celebrate every year on these FATHERS DAY and exchange our views and the change of environments. All the Fatherly ESMs were served with snacks. The Day’s celebration concluded with vote of thanks by our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Flt.Lt.Natarajan(Retd) and all of them disbursed with a joy of spending a peaceful and enjoyable few hours on this day

OLDEN DAYS ARE GOLDEN DAYS

TODAY IS NOT SO

TOMORROW ?

TOMORROW'S HAPPINESS IS

IN OUR HANDS

LET JOIN TOGETHER

AND WORK FOR IT.

YET ANOTHER WIDOW PENSIONER FOUND DRAWING SHORT PENSION AND HELPED BY OUR TRUST.

Smt.Arul Seeli Rani, W/O (Late) JWO Rajan.

During the visit of our Chief Admin Officer and Chief Liaison officer to Panagudi, Tirunelveli District, They came to know through casual interactions with local pensioners that a widow Smt.Arul Seeli Rani seem to be drawing short pension. Immediately we traced out the address from IOB, Panagudi branch and contacted her. On scrutinizing the available pension papers we noticed that she is wife of a Junior Warrant Officer of Air Force and was really receiving short pension.

Her particulars are :

Name : Smt.Arul seeli Rani W/O Late JWO.C,S.Rajan (207879) Gp-I

Eligible Basic pension as per Annexure –III of CDA Cir 403 isRs.5070/- but being paid Rs.3500/-

Arrears on account of this will be Rs.95000 plus

We have reported the discrepancy to the Bank manager and he has agreed to look in to the case and arrange to revise the pension and pay the arrears soon. Mean while we have also intimated the short payment to Air Force Record Office New Delhi and sought confirmation.

Dear veterans, you can just think of this sort of short payment every where and no veterans are coming forward to help such widow pensioners. At least guide them to approach us for helping them.

Sgt.Kanthiah (retd), our Chief Liaison Officer was called for assisting in calculation of arrears as per CDA Cir.430 by Indian Overseas bank, Maharajanagar branch, Tirunelveli-District, Tamil Nadu where he noticed that 0ne Widow Smt.Grace w/o Late Hony.Captain J.Rajendran was being paid a basic pension of Rs.7357/- instead of 8310/-as per CDA Cir 403.
The discrepancy was informed to the manager and he readily agreed to revise the pension and pay the arrears early. Particulars of pensioner :

Our Chief Admin.Officer MP.Natarajan and Chief Liaison Officer visited the pensioner’s residence and inquired about her health . She was living alone as her both the sons are employed and living elsewhere. When we informed her about the short payment of pension and an arrears of about 57561/-she was taken aback as she was not aware of her entitlement. She thanked us for the visit and helping at the door step and performed a prayer for good health of Trust members.

This an another achievement for our Trust.

THE EXWEL TRUST FINDS ANOTHER WIDOW AND HER

WIDOWED DAUGHTER AND HELPS.

The Exwel Trust’s Chief Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah (Retd) , during his visit to Indian Overseas bank, Panagudi, branch, Tirunelveli- dist, for assisting the bank in revising the defence pension as per CDA cir 430, noticed one Widow, Special family pensioner has completed 80 years of age and not paid the additional pension.

Her particulars are:

Name : Smt.Esther Samuel
W/O Late Sub.Clk.R.Samuel, Jc 16204, PPO.No.F/ /68
PDA: I O B Panagudi , Tirunelveli-District, Tamil Nadu SB.A/C No………………..
Special Family pensioner ..Basic pension. 7825/-

We sent a letter to her, to call on our office but there was no reply. On enquiry we came to know that she cannot travel due to bad health condition. Hence our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Flt.Lt.MP.Natarajan (Retd.) along with Chief Liaison officer visited her place, a remote village called Vadakku Veppalankulam, 45 kilometers from Tirunelveli. She was immobile due to bad health and was looked after by her elder daughter, a widow . The condition was pathetic.

On scrutinizing the available pension papers, we confirmed her date of birth as 26-6-1926, hence she was eligible for additional pension of 20% with effect from 1-6-2006. We calculated the arrears on the spot and informed the aged widow . She was surprised and delighted to have such a huge amount of about Rs.85000 plus Rs.2113 increase in monthly pension from next month onwards at this age. We also informed her that her widowed daughter is also eligible for Family pension after her demise. The whole family members were very happy to know this entitlement of pension to her widowed daughter, as they were not at all aware of this Govt. order. They all thanked our Trust for giving this information, that too at their door step.

But for the intervention of the Exwel Trust, the poor widow would not have got this arrears and additional pension as there is no body to guide and help her. More over the news of her widowed daughter will be getting pension after her demise is another moral boost to her.

The Exwel Trust members are ready to travel to any corner of the District and help them, if they come to know that some ESM/ family pensioner is getting less pension.

Note: The Four volunteers of the Exwel Trust are all aged above 65 and all are air warriors. It is God’s Gift for the Trust to do such noble deeds at this age. May the Almighty give them good health and long life.

YET ANOTHER WIDOW PENSIONER HELPED BY OUR TRUST.

Our Chief Liaison officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah (Retd) explaining the short payment and the eligible pension to the aged widow and the arrears of Rs.77012/- She is delighted to hear the hand sum amount at this age and receiving a copy of the calcualtion sheet happily.


On our persistant efforts and interactions, we have traced out one more widow Smt.Pachiammal w/o Late Nb.Sub.Esakki, JC-81647 of DSC records getting a Sepoys pension since 1-1-1996 and she is being paid Rs.3500/- instead of Rs.4650/- as per VI th Pay Commission.

Her PPO.No. F/NA/ 4224/90 PDA : Canara Bank, Kayathar, Tuticorin District, Tamil Nadu.
SB A/c N. 4527.

The fact was brought to the knowledge of the Branch Manager and he was kind enough to accept our submission of calculations and arranged to revise the pension and pay the arrears amounting to Rs.77012/-

Dear veterans, we once again appeal to you all to come forward and help such poor widows in your areas.

EXWEL TRUST MEETS THE ELDERS

EXWEL TRUST MEETS THE ELDERS

In order to get the grievances of the aged defence pensioners and family pensioners and to redress them, the Exwel Trust is arranging a meeting with the elderly defence pensioners at

Hotel : JANAKI RAM, “AYOTHYA HALL”

: TIRUNELVELI JUNCTION

DATE : 19^TH JUNE, 2010 (SATURDAY)

TIME : 10 AM TO 1 PM

All the aged defence pensioners and family pensioners are requested to attend the meeting. Those who cannot come may send their family representatives. Free lunch will be provided to all.

Note:

For the past few months, the Exwel Trust volunteers visited the residences of more than 50 aged defence pensioners. They were shocked to see that most of them were getting less pension than their entitlement. They were not aware of some of the benefits of the 6^th CPC like additional pension to the pensioners above 80 years of age., etc., etc.

Other information like ECHS, endorsement of family pension, opening of Joint Bank pension account with their wives etc., etc., were not at all available to them. There was no body in their families to help them as they themselves are not aware of this recent improvement.

The Exwel Trust volunteers explained all these benefits and helped more than 120 to 130 families and others within a short period of six months to get correct pension and arrears.

As this has become an important and continuous process and most of the pensioners are not aware of the Exwel Trust’s services, the Managing Trustee decided to conduct a meeting of the aged pensioners and family pensioners to explain the role of the Trust and help them.
