. I have just been informed of the sad demise of Shri NM Sundaram Former Gen. Secy of All India Insurance Employees Association today at chennai. He was 81 and reportedly suffered a massive cardiac arrest.
Shri NM Sundaram was undoubtedly a tall leader of the Employees' Trade union movement in LIC. I had the privilege of frequent interactions with him in the early nineties in my capacity as the then Gen Secy of the class 1 officers' Federation when the entire workforce of LIC were involved in a struggle to secure Pension as a retirement benefit. I recall with nostalgia that I was party to a joint Memorandum along with shri Sundaram and National federation of Class2 employees, submitted to the Govt.of India on our demand for pensionary benefit. That memorandum marked the beginning point for introduction of pension scheme in LIC.
Shri Sundaram's devotion and dedication for the cause of Employees was unparelled. His efficiency and sincereity in handling the affairs of his union at a time when things were so unsettled in the industry in regard to the service conditions of employees is worthy of emulation by those who seek positions in any organization at any time. May his Soul rest in peace.-
I have already taken the liberty of conveying the condolences of retired officers to Shri K Natarajan who succeeded him in AIIEA and is presently the National Vice-President of All India Insurance Pensioners Association.
