SCOVA
24th meeting of SCOVA was held on 5-2-2014, under the chairmanship of Hon’blw MOS (PP) at Vigyan Bhavan Annexe,
Neqw Delhi.
Some of the points of importance to us :
1. MOS (PP),
Chairman, SCOVA, stated that Pensioners have served the country and helped in
the Nation building process. Therefore, it is our duty to take care of their
welfare.
2. Two recent
initiatives of the Dept. are
(i) Bhavishya – an
online Pension sanction and payment tracking system. This is currently in
operation in 15 Orgns/Depts. This would
help both Pensioners and Admn authorities.
(ii) Sankalp – a
programme to channelise skill and experiences of pensioners into socially
useful and constructive work. This would be taken up on a pilot basis initially
for 500 pensioners.
- The Dept is advicing Mins/Depts to conduct pre-retirement counseling / workshops to prepare the retiring officials for life after retirement, specially formalities required to be completed to avail of pensionary dues, Healtrh benefits (CGHS, etc..) financial investments, preparation of will etc.
4. Dedicated
day for pensioners : All Mins/Depts agreed to fix a time in any day in a
week to meeting the Pensioners. This would be informed by 28 th Feb.
More on SANKALP
Dept of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare have now recognized
the fact that retired government employees have a huge wealth of skills and
experience which could be channelised
into constructive activities for the betterment of Society. A new initiative
from Govt , named SANKALP, will help retired employees in leading a fuller and
more meaningful existence post-retirement.
A pilot Project with 500 Central Pensioners (on a
first-come-first-served basis ) is initially being run . Those pensioners willing to associate with
this initiative may register at www.pensionersportal.gov.in/sankalp
