New pension scheme for armed forces still on paper: Deccan Herald
Though the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has allocated Rs 1,000 crore for implementing the one rank-one pension scheme for defence personnel, a working group chaired by the Controller General of Defence Accounts has failed to provide a roadmap for scheme implementation.
Under the scheme, soldiers of the same rank and same tenure of service are entitled to get same pension, irrespective of the retirement dates. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ,in his first visit to the high altitude forward post of Siachen on Deepavali, had told the soldiers that the scheme was an “emotional subject” for him. He had chided the United Progressive Alliance regime for dragging the issue.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had promised the ex-servicemen the implementation of the scheme during Lok Sabha elections. A parliamentary standing committee on defence, headed by veteran BJP leader B C Khanduri, has suggested roping in an Indian Institute of Management for conducting a study to suggest measures for welfare of the ex-servicemen. The parliamentary panel, that scrutinised the defence ministry’s budget for 2014-2015, will submit its report on Monday.
Any army if it is worth its salt the netas and baboos will never even dare to humiliate it just see in pakistan. where as here for the last 50-60 years inspite of all humiliations indian army does not even feel ashamed begging in front of baboos and netas. The moment one become an army officer he is taught that you do not ask for respect rather earn it does it mean that army has never earned it because for the last 50-60 years army is getting humiliated time and again. if country thinks that army officers are class 2 officers just declare it nice and proper so that all young men know that what they are joining. A country which bluffs its army gets the bluffs in war so dear country men just wait for it when there is a war with china you will get it back the bluffs you are playing with your own army men.
It will remain on paper only because it is meant for the army which is a paper tiger. the amount of paper being used in army if stopped can end the deforestation problem of india. Our great paper tigers have not fought even a single full fledeged war after 1971..
