Govt ponders to take help of ex-jawans to deal naxals
Hikes monetary grant for gallantry award winner jawans
Non-pensioner ex-jawans of Second World War to get fourfold financial aid
Raipur, April 26,2010
The government is mulling over to take help of ex-soldiers to combat naxals. Chief Minister Raman Singh says that the vast experience of former soldiers, who undergo tough war training, could be useful in dealing the naxal problem in the state. Singh expressed these views during the fourth meeting of Rajya Sainik Board (RSB) that held at Mantralaya on Monday.
“The country’s jawans are not only keeping eye on enemies at borders but are also tackling the Maoists who had waged war against the democracy. The death toll from both ends, i.e. the jawans and ultras in the past five years is much more than that happened together in Kargil war, 1971 India-Pakistan war for liberation of Bangladesh and operation of Shanti Sena sent by India to deal LTTE in Sri Lanka,” said Singh while elaborating the idea to frame role of former soldieries in curbing naxalism that has disturbed the peace and tranquility of the state in the past three decades.
Singh further approved the proposal of filling NCC’s 269 vacant posts in grade III (111 posts) and grade IV (158) categories by giving contract appointments to the ex-jawans.
The government has also decided to increase the monetary aid given to the jawans who had won gallantry awards. Declaring the sop for the jawans, Singh said the increased aid would be equivalent to the grants given by the Punjab and Uttarakhand governments. The aid amount has been hiked as a gesture of regard to the jawans that will not only increase their morale but the youths will also get inclined towards the armed force, he added.
Singh further hiked the monthly financial aid given to the non-pensioner ex-jawans who had fought for the nation during Second World War by fourfold. Rejecting the proposal to merely double the financial aid of the ex-jawans from Rs 1500 to Rs 3000 per month and terming it insufficient, Singh said the slab would be hiked to Rs 6000. This will benefit 177 ex-jawans and widows of the deceased ones.
On proposal to provide reservation to the army officials (who take retirement after short term service) in civil services examinations and to relax the eligibility criterions for them, Singh said the proposal should first be sent to Public Service Commission (PSC) for scrutiny before approval.
In the meeting, the Director of Sainik Welfare Directorate Brigadier JK Devsthale informed that the government was benefiting and rehabilitating the former jawans through its Sainik Welfare Offices (SWO) across the state. The government has also approved two new SWOs which will be opened in Raigarh and Kanker, he added. There are about 25,000 former jawans or their dependents that are registered with the government and the directorate had provided jobs to over 2500 beneficiaries in the past ten years, he informed. On the occasion, the CM released a magazine – Sainik Kalyan Chhattisgarh Margdarshika published by the directorate.
