Dear comrade,
A
Brief report of the all India Conference
of
NCCPA held in November 2019
The 4th
All India Delegates conference of NCCPA/ General Body meeting was held at Geeta
Bhawan (renamed as Com. S.K.Vyas hall) Jaipur on 1st and 2nd
November 2019. The Reception Committee under the Chairmanship of justice Shri. V.S.Dhave had made excellent
arrangements. In all 220 delegates/observers had registered their presence at
the conference. The Reception Committee could accommodate all of them at the
venue itself. Most of the delegates
reached the venue on 31st October itself.
Open Session
The inaugural and Open
Session was held on 1.11.2019 at the specially built hall for that purpose. Comrade
M.S.Dasora Coordinator Pensioners Portal for CGPA Rajasthan anchored the
proceedings. Shri. Justice Dhave in his hilarious welcome address touched upon
the tradition customs and conventions and the rich heritage of Jaipur as
depicted in the great many monuments. He said that almost every building in
Jaipur built centuries back will tell the story of bravery and courage of Rajasthani
people especially the Rajputs. He appealed to the delegates to pay a visit to
the monuments to refurbish their memory of the history of medieval India. He
also stressed the importance of coordination as the absence of which even the
best co-operation extended by the people may not be fruitful. He said that his
team of Reception Committee members has strived its best to make the conference
a grand success as also more comfortable for stay of delegates and visitors.
Com. Shiv Giopal Mishra
in his presidential address narrated the efforts undertaken by the NCCPA as
also the Staff Side of the National Council JCM in which he and Com. Kutty work
together in the last four years in resolving the problems of pensioners. Much
improvement could not be registered in that direction solely because of the
nugatory attitude of the Govt. He however expressed his surprise over the
landslide victory the ruling party could register in the last parliamentary
election. He also said that it would not be out of place if one has been
compelled to think that a sizeable section of the pensioners must have voted
for the continuance of this Govt. So long as the thinking process does not
undergo and the policies of the party in power are not realized, there would be
no way that the attitude of the Government could be made to change. He appealed
to the comrade delegates to campaign amongst the pensioners the real reasons
for the non-redressal of grievances of pensioners and bring about change in the
polity of the country itself. He wanted the NCCPA widened its base to pay a
vital role in the movement of the pensioners of the country.
Thereafter the
session was addressed by almost all the office bearers of CHQ. Comrade KKN
Kutty the Secretary General before conclusion of the inaugural session while
proposing vote of thanks to the host unit its volunteers, Reception Committee
members and others for their great services in making it possible to hold such
a well attended conference had indicated various issues, demands proposals
etc. that would come up for discussion in the conference. He also brought to
the notice of the delegates that the report contained a brief summary and
analysis of world events that happened in last four years as also the national
scenario. He expected the subject session to be productive and fruitful with
suggestion from the delegates to enrich the report and consequently the
activities of NCCPA in the coming years.

conduct of the conference and for piloting various proposals contained in the
report. The meeting lasted for about two hours.
