Forenoon section was open session. S.Sundarakrishnan DS welcomed all. One minute silence was observed. Com.A.Sugumaran in his presidential address told about present trip to NewDelhi by our GS,Com.DG and other office bearers. Regarding Pension Revision, revised proposal is being imooted out by Est.Section. Hence, the Pension Revision case is still alive. Hence, the  widespread news  that pension revision  is not possible without pay revision" is in changed scenaerio. Com.G.Natarajan CHQ VP inagurated the session. He explained in detail about the history of our Association since the Ist All India Conference at Tambaram. Efforts taken by them in achieving Pension revision with 78.2 %IDA. Removing the hurdles like 60:40 Annulment with the help of late Sri.Anandakumar then Hon.Min.of Parliamentary affairs. He elaborately told about his activities as GS. Com.Rathna AGS felicitated the conference and appreciated the functioning of STR division. She commented jovially our enrolling CH.TD retirees in STR Division by cris-crossing area jurisdiction.

Sri.Subrata Chatterji GM(Admn &HR) TN Circle felicitated the conference and he told that all the issues given to him are settled. Sri.Dr.K.Jagadeesan Nodal Officer CGHS Chennai has given a wonderful lecture on the importance of CGHS and its benefits. He cleared the doubts of our comrades. Salient points.1.Availing CGHS benefits is always better. Even Health Insurance has got ceiling limit of Insured amount. CGHS Beneficiary has got no ceiling limit irrespective of cadre in which retired. 3.In CGHS NON covered areas, we have to opt for OPD. If we opt for FMA in lieu of OPD, we will get only Rs 1000 pm. Some chronic diseases, cost of  one tablet supplied by CGHS is 500 Rs and more. 4. There was a delay in settling bills of hospital. It is not due to non availability of fund but due to non synchronisation of IT platform for bill processing. All these bugs have been cleared and pending bills for hospitals are being settled. So,more hospitals may apply for empanelment. Multispeciality hospitals like MIOT may also come again. 5.Two more hospitals at Chennai applied for. I)Metha hospital, Chetpet,ii) Tagore hospital near Tambaram. 6.New wellness at TAMBARAM will be functioning within a couple of months. This is by diversion of one wellness at Chennai City.

It may start functioning within 3 months. He replied very patiently to all our queries. 8.When we raise the query that our representatives can be nominated as a member for the welfare commitee. He told only approved Associations can be considered. We told our Association is recognised. He suggested to send a letter to Addl.Director. Interaction session was very much  useful. Com. V.S.Muthukumaran Circle Org.Secretary from  Vellore in his speech emphasized the earlier suggestion of converting to CDA Pension. If so,we could have got automatic Pension revision at par with CG Pensioners. Maximum no.of Associations went to court. It will be very much delayed to get judgement.
