 |
| A great soul & a fighter for pensioners cause comrade S.K.Viyas has left for heavenly abode.May God grant peace to the departed soul & strength to all of those left behind to bear the loss |
We are shocked to hear that Com. S.K.Vyas, the legendary leader of the Central Govt. Employees and Pensioners, is no more. He passed away at 08.20 PM on 13 February 2015, in a Jaipur hospital, where he was admitted few days back after a massive heart attack. He was recovering, but all of a sudden, the situation worsened and he passed away.
He was 85 years. Despite his old age, Com. Vyas wes very mobile, active and energetic.
His funeral will take place at Jodhpur on 14th Feb 2015.
Com.Vyasji was the Secretary General of the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and workers for more than four decades since 1967. With rich experiences and wonderful memory Vyasji was a walking encyclopaedia as far as central service staff issues are concerned.
He was holding the post of Secretary General of Bharat Central Pensioners Confederation.
His death is an irreparable loss to the entire CGEs and Pensioners movement.
Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, friends and comrades.
Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, friends and comrades.
S K Vyas,a wonderful personality
On 2nd February 2015, I telephoned S K Vyasji to seek his help in raising our issues in the SCOVA meeting to be held next day. His grand-daughter told that Vyasji was in the ICU in a hospital at Jaipur after massive heart attack. The great fighter succumbed to the ultimate destiny yesterday night.
I had the opportunity to work with him very closely for more than 12 years when I was the general secretary of T III union.
In 1997 September, when the negotiations between the Government and leaders of Central govt. Staff were going on regarding the fifth Central Pay Commission report, he used to come to my office in the night around 11 PM or even at midnight with all information about the talks. Then we used sit together up to 3 AM before my computer and work out the gains. Again, at 9 AM he used to be in the Staff Side office for further discussions. He was very energetic. When the government offered 30% fitment formula, many leaders were inclined to accept it. But, through Vyas, we insisted upon 40% benefit. Side by side, some of us used the political influence also, in the given political situation at that time when Mr. I K Gujral was the Prime Minister. Finally we got 40% fitment formula accepted by the Prime Minister.
I remember how meticulous Com. Vyas was. I cannot write more in this brief Note.
I pay my respectful homage to this wonderful leader who devoted about 60-65 years of his life for the central government employees in India.
