V.R.KRISHNAN, SECRETARY OF CHENNAI ASSOCIATION WRITES

Friends,

Greetings from Retired  LIC Class I  Officers  Association Chennai.

The AGM, as scheduled,   took place in a grand manner.  About  75 members participated. A brief report of the proceedings is enclosed as attachment.

As  the newly elected secretary of the Association, for the current term, i would like to share certain things  with you.

Everyone of us  know that  our   All India Federation depends on all its 19 affiliated units for its functioning.   Quite naturally  the Associated Units  depend on the members.  Ultimately without the cooperation and support of the members Federation cannot exist.  

Now we are waging a battle  with the Central Government & the management combine in the court and also simultaneously be in   dialogue with the Management.  

As retired persons we have limitations in carrying on our battle in other forms.

we depend on the members for two things.  

1. Increasing the number of members.  Our  request is  -  every one of us should try to bring in new members, since many of the retired officers are yet to become our members.

2.To augment our  legal fund. For each appearance of the senior counsels, who can only argue our case in the SC, we are bound to pay huge amount.  

We therefore request the members to contribute liberally for the legal fund, as we have to send to the Federation about Rs. 67000  as our share, of last years' contribution.

The case is to come up for hearing on 24th July 2018. The legal committee as well as our counsels are positive about the outcome.  

we are also enclosing a circular from our Federation General Secretary Shri D. Krishnan, regarding the positive and constructive points in favour of our stand.

Thanking you all & wishing you all the  very best.

V.R.KRISHNAN
