All Office Bearers and Affiliates.
Decisions of NCCPA Executive held virtually on 19.06.2024.
A meeting of NCCPA Executive was held at 3.00 P.M on 19th June 2024. As the President Comrade Shiva Gopal Mishra was preoccupied the meeting was presided over by Working President Comrade A.K.Ghosh. Nearly 30 Executive Members participated including the three Patrons.
The Executive started with observing a minutes’ silence for the departed. After the agenda was approved the President called for initiating the first item of agenda by the Secretary General.
Comrade K.Ragavendran stated that all appreciated the holding of 5th AIC at Chennai and called for opinions of members. He recalled the Chennai AIC had given the task to form NCCPA COCs in all States; to propagate formation of Confederation of all Pensioners Associations; and to strengthen the functioning of Trade Union International (Pensioners & Retired). He requested that NCCPA COCs be formed in all States so that all calls of NCCPA and TUI(P&R) are implemented effectively. He also stated that according to the documents the Chennai AIC was fifth after the Jaipur AIC but as per Comrade Mathur (Patron NCCPA), the Chennai AIC was 7th. He called Comrade Mathur to explain the issue.
Comrade Mathur the Patron stated that the 1st AIC was Delhi; 2nd was in Secunderabad; the 3rd was in Jaipur; 4th was in Ratlam; 5th was in Kolkata; 6th was again in Jaipur; and the 7th was in Chennai. A debate followed on this issue.
Senior Comrade Pavitra Chakraborti another Patron clarified that Delhi and Secunderabad are not NCCPA AICs and the numbering as told by the Secretary General is correct.
The issue was set to rest by the Secretary General by stating that whatever documentary evidence can be brought to the next executive by Comrade Mathur or through some other comrade by Comrade Mathur can be considered and the number can be corrected. If documentary evidence cannot be produced then the 5th AIC at Chennai stands good.
Thereupon the executive deliberated on the holding of Chennai AIC and the general opinion was that it was a good conference. Some comrades revealed that though NCCPA has not been functioning in their state, all calls are being implemented through the CGPA COCs. However, formation of NCCPA COCs in all States was insisted by the Secretary General so as to implement all calls effectively in the name of NCCPA.
Next item taken up was the TUI(P&R) World Congress held at Athens at Greece, Comrades who participated physically in the Congress Comrades A.K.Ghosh; D.K.Debnath; and K.Ragavendran and also virtually by Comrade K.G.Jayaraj explained the details of the Congress. The Executive congratulated all the Office Bearers and Commission Members elected in the TUI(P&R) World Congress especially from India.
The memorandum prepared by the Secretary General and submitted to the Cabinet Secretary by NCCPA and ‘Affiliates and the future Programme of action is discussed by the Executive. It was pointed out that though the memorandum was written in good shape, certain omissions were pointed out. Suggestions for future Programme of action also were suggested by the members,
Ultimately it was decided that two memorandums (Memorandum 1 and 2) will be prepared by NCCPA; one for CGHS / RELHS medical issues and the other for general pension related issues. The respective associations will be consulted while preparing the memorandum so that the issues are correctly focused.
There will be submission of memorandum (1) by NCCPA and all Affiliates on 29.07.2024 to Minister of Health and to Director General CGHS by email. State level Dharnas on August 6th (06.08.2024) in front of AD CGHS Offices and handing over of the same memorandum (1) to the AD CGHS to press the demands.

Our branches should embark upon the meeting the Members of Parliament during early time of October and enlisting their support on both memorandums.
Dharna in New Delhi by NCCPA and Affiliates during the last week of October 2024. (The date will be shortly announced after fixing the date). Delhi Dharna will be on all issues covering the CGHS/RELHS/Medicare Insurance and all other Pension related issues.
NCCPA and Affiliates should take the initiative to organize a press meet before Delhi Dharna preferably during the third week of October 2024. The Press meet should focus on Health issues and Pension related issues. These decisions were due to the fact that without struggles no advancement to Pensioners could be achieved.
The Executive unanimously elected Comrade Sridhar (AIRRF) as the Vice President of NCCPA and Comrades Aram Singh General Secretary of AIRRF and K.V.Jayaraj General Secretary of National Forum for Atomic Energy Retirees to the executive committee as per the unanimous decision of the Chennai AIC.

He requested that the NCCPA should extend support to the struggle of Joint Forum of BSNL MTNL Pensioners Associations on 2.7.2024 ‘Demands Day’.
