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.
