FORGET OROP AS LONG SHE IS AROUND ! DOES SHE GET NFU ?

Smt Devika Raghuvanshi  [ IDAS: 1988] , Appointed on 19-Feb-2013 as Additional Financial Adviser (DR) & JS, Ministry of Defence
===============================================================
As received. Another Harbans Singh.


I could not help but link this up to Nandini Bahri’s blog on “mark your man”. A very valuable piece of advice. But after that, what? NOTHING! It is like the joke that Ronnie Mistry forwarded a coupla weeks back about the Colonel and the beautiful lady in the farmhouse. Windbags all!

==========================================================
Devika Raghuvanshi of MoD (finance) is wife of serving colonel  and has repeatedly put spoke in the process along with Anurag Jain, IAS at PMO. 

She got VRS/PMR included in the proposal out of nowhere. The charge is 100% authentic.

Mrs Devika Raghuvanshi has termed the grant of OROP as  a continued and unending financial liability. She has been vociferously saying in every meeting  that OROP is not implementable. 

She is the progenitor of the party line adopted by the PMO, JS, Anurag Jain, IAS.

She is totally biased and anti fauj in all interactions of the joint working group and meetings held with Defence minister and PMO officials. 

The govt has been spooked by her assertions of the prohibitive cost of OROP. "Continued and unending financial liability" is her phrase.  

She has asserted that the govt prior to OROP has done enough already for ex servicemen by giving weightages and allowing max of  pay scale for calculation of pension, and OROP demand was neither justified nor implementable. 

She has claimed that faujis are leaving (PMR), especially offrs, because they are getting good jobs with companies like Tata, Rolta etc and they no longer want to work in difficult areas when they become eligible for pension after 20 years. 

This is the reason for addition of the PMR /VRS clause. 

The serving army fraternity has not released the details precisely because they do not want to embarrass a serving EME colonel, who's the husband of this lady. 

She has even turned down the file of Time Scale of Col in 22yrs. Many of husband's course mates spoke to him but he says she does not bother. 

She has the blessing from fin secy. 

Nothing moves in MoD without her noting. Sad. As recieved.

  1. Truth is like chilli and chilblains if not suited likes,interest and egos of oneself.Irritation becomes more sophisticated and intense when objected the very progeny of the matter with facts. Devika being the wife of a serving colonel may be a daughter of a retd Brig have dealt the OROP with all practicalities associated with her upbringing. She knows the qualitative difference between an Army Officer and her counterparts in the bureaucracy. My simple question to all objecting her :- How much prolific a COL of Army is to be? Devika doing it all intentionally is right in the case of Officers but prejudice and unnecessarily offending and harming the JCOs and ORs interest who really deserve OROP. She knows well about their exploitation both mental and physical by the Indian Army Officers' in the name of *VIOLATION OF GOOD DISCIPLINE*.03 Aug 2012

  5. I salute this lady, Who is so strong to take this decision when her husband is serving Army officer. I am working with private organisation and tried NDA twice which I failed to clear. So Army didn't give me opportunity to serve my nation and enjoy all canteen benefits and Salary benefits all my life. I believe OROP team should also think of common man who would take this burden on themselves. If OROP is given to Army then it should also be given to BSF and CRPF. No offence but if somebody dies on border we call him Martyr but if a naxalite kills a CRPF jawan, even news channel don't cover it. My salute to this lady for standing tall even with all the pressure around her.

    1. Since you are eligible to join the Armed Forecs of India so u failed twicw. it seems u don't have quality to become a soldier of the Great Nation "INDIA". U commented that OROP team should think of common man. Why the Govt allow the military persons to work upto 60 yers as other civil service. Do u ever thought of it.
