Mobile Polyclinics for Ex-Servicemen

Providing Medicare to Ex-servicemen and their dependents is an ongoing process and the endeavor of the government is to continuously upgrade the quality of medicare services being provided. The Government has approved opening of additional 199 polyclinics including 17 mobile polyclinics besides the existing 227 polyclinics to improve accessibility of Ex-servicemen to medical facilities. Out of 199 polyclinics, 43 polyclinics have already been operationalised.

Opening of new polyclinics is based on the ESM population in a particular area. Mobile polyclinics are proposed for remote/hilly areas where the ESM population is less and scattered. Presently 342 districts have been covered with 426 ECHS polyclinics (270 operational & 156 proposed) including 17 mobile polyclinics. The newly sanctioned polyclinics will be operationalised across the country including Himachal Pradesh in a phased manner over a period of time.

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri MM Pallam Raju in a written reply to Shrimati Viplove Thakur in Rajya Sabha today.

SUCCESS STORY OF EX-SNCOs-DECCAN CHRONICLE DT. 6.3.2012

Taking destiny in his own hands: Vardhan and K. Jayanth Reddy

In 1999, K. Jayanth Reddy left the Indian Air Force with a paltry pension, a fraction of the meagre Rs 4000 or so that he was getting.
After going through the regular rigmarole of finding a job, Jayanth decided to take his destiny in his own hands. Today Jayanth has roped in at least 18 other ex-servicemen and employs almost 200 people in various ventures of his JVS Technologies. His business fetches him lakhs in profit every month.
Jayanth recalls his journey. “I was a radar fitter. I started with an agency for batteries in Ferozguda here. But it failed to take off. Then I got into waste management, supplying pellets generated from waste to Aditya Birla Group of Cement Plants in 2001. It then occurred to me that waste paint, that was being dumped over huge areas by a renowned automobile group, could also be converted into fuel for the cement plants and I asked them to let me do it. In fact, the enormous diggings brought equivalent profits for us. Equally significant was my idea to supply technical manpower to DRDL and then came the Mint, Hyderabad,” shares Jayanth.
His associate, retired airman M.M.M. Vardhan disclosed that supply of CNG and CNG tankers in Hyderabad, modernisation of railway logistics in Secunderabad, Bengaluru and other places were just a few more feathers in Jayanth’s cap. Jayanth, however, does not want to talk about his philanthropic work. Apart from donating liberally to old age homes, orphanages and wards of ex-servicemen, he has come up with a brilliant idea of “staying together in old age with my mates from the Forces”. Jayanth, thus, bought 25 acres of agricultural land in Gandipet along with 18 other airmen. “The community shall have all facilities, including a hospital for its residents and we shall all stay together, leading a retired life,” says Vardhan.

WELL DON JAYANTH & VARDHAN

An important ruling that got lost in the din

Well, an important judgement of the Punjab & Haryana High Court, that I wanted to share earlier, got lost in the mix somewhere.

The Haryana Government (and many others States too, it is learnt) had in effect a policy which discriminated between sons and daughters of ex-servicemen. The said policy provided that for the purposes of employment, married sons not having an independent source of income would be considered dependants for the purpose of issuance of a dependant certificate while married daughters would not be considered such even if not having any income. This had ostensibly been done by the Haryana Govt on the pretext that while a married son could be dependent on his father, a married daughter would not be since she would be dependent on her husband.

Not finding the above distinction reasonable and holding it to be unconstitutional, the Punjab & Haryana High Court has struck down the said clause and it has been held that both married sons and daughters, if not having independent means of livelihood, would be considered eligible for the issuance of the dependant certificate.

Many other strange stipulations of the Defence Services Welfare wing and the Sainik Board of the State of Haryana have in the past faced flak from the High Court.

IGNOU LAUNCHES PORTAL FOR IAF PERSONNEL

PROJECT “AKASHDEEP” WILL EBNABLE AIRMEN TO
COMPLETE THEIR BACHELOR’S DEGREE

IGNOU on Tuesday launched an online registration portal for the Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel under project Akashdeep, which enables airmen to complete their bachelor’s degree, officials said.

‘This could be a model for many countries in terms of size and services. We are getting empowered by providing such capacity and showing that a university too can undergo such collaborations,’ IGNOU vice-chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai said.

According to Air Vice-Marshal Satyendra Kumar, the initiative will reach out to airmen posted anywhere in the country, where they can register themselves for an associate degree online online.

According to the university, 10 airmen registered themselves in-person after the launch ceremony.

Project Akashdeep was launched in December 2010. Under it, all serving airmen can obtain bachelor’s degrees within 8 to 13 years of their service.
