Thanks for Excerpts from  Wikipedia,  encyclopedia

Every year 26 November is being observed as National Milk Day (NMD) to mark birth anniversary Father of the White Revolution Dr.Verghese Kurien. 

Dr. V. Kurien, Chairman of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), who ushered in the White Revolution.

 Kurien was a man of substance, an institution builder.

Their movement was amulya (priceless), which was rapidly abbreviated to Amul to break down as Anand Milk Union Ltd. Kurien's master class was that he realised quickly that collectivism was the way forward, but in order to achieve the goal, it was imperative that disintermediation take place at ground zero.

By removing the middle man and empowering the farmers and their wives, he set about aggregating what turned out to be enormous milk assets. From disparate sources, he formed what has arguably become one of the most successful management case studies of cooperativism. 

By enlarging the scope of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation to a nationwide programme through National Dairy Development Board's Operation Flood, Kurien single handedly turned India into the world's largest milk producer. 

Kurien  did not know defeat, nor did he ever retreat. 

A blatant swadeshi at heart, he had not time for Multinational Corporations, he believed that India could be self sufficient and self reliant in milk and milk products. His nervous energy and unending reservoir of zeal to make Anand, Gujarat and India the first among equals was overwhelming.

He transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to the world's largest milk producer, surpassing the United States of America in 1998

Guided at different times by Sri Tribhuvandas Patel, Pandit Nehru and Shastriji,

 that he would like to stay amongst his farm brethren and not amongst bureaucrats.

When Shyam Benegal decided to document the Amul story for posterity, Kurien collected funds from the same farmers on whom the movie was being made. 

The film Manthan  (the churning of the 'milk ocean'),was part of the cooperative funded by the cooperative and for the cooperative.Each co-op society farmer  comtributed Rs 2 per head. 

Truckloads of farmers came to see "their" film, making it a success at the box office. Manthan hit a chord with the audience immediately when it was shown in Gujarat in 1976, which impressed distributors to release it before audiences, nationwide.

7th CPC RECOMMENDATION-NO MENTION OF BSNL RETIREES.

A COMMISSION FOR NO CHANGE

7th CPC RECOMMENDATIONS ON PENSION AND PENSIONARY BENEFITS

The Commission has not recommended any change on many issues concerning pensioners. Few examples are:

1.Additional pension on attaining age of 80 years: NO CHANGE

2.Enhanced family pension from 7 years to 10 years: NO CHANGE

3.Commutation at 40%: NO CHANGE

4.Restoration of commuted value after 15 years only: NO CHANGE

5.Earned Leave accumulation up to 300 days: NO CHANGE

6.Fixed medical allowance to pensioners living in non-CGHS areas:NO CHANGE

7.DA Formula for central pensioners: NO CHANGE

SOME CHANGES:

The ceiling of Gratuity and Death gratuity has been enhanced. It will benefit only retiring senior officers.

One Rank One Pension principle is recommended to some extent in the formula for revising pension of existing pensioners.

MULTIPLICATION FACTOR

2.57 is recommended for all – employees and pensioners. There is no discrimination in it. Assuming that the Central DA will be 125% as on 1-1-2016, the net benefit will be an increase of 32 percent of existing basic pension.

Two options are available for re-fixation of pension. Immediately apply the MULTIPLICATION formula of 2.57 and fix the pension. Later on, re-fix the pay at the minimum of the newly proposed Pay Matrix and then add number of increments earned by the pensioner in the old scale when he/she retired and then fix the pension at 50% of the total amount including the increments so added.

MEDICAL INSURANCE

Medical Insurance scheme is recommended while, on the other side, suggested expansion of CGHS to some more cities.
