Hike in pension to benefit 12 lakh jawans: Prime Minister

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said on Saturday that the government's decision to increase the pension of retired jawans and Junior Commission Officers (JCOs) will benefit 12 lakh ex-servicemen and their families.

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said on Saturday that the government's decision to increase the pension of retired jawans and Junior Commission Officers (JCOs) will benefit 12 lakh ex-servicemen and their families.

"We have accepted the recommendations of the committee constituted to examine the issue of pension of ex-servicemen. This will lead to increased pension for about 12 lakh retired jawans and JCOs," Singh said in his address after unfurling the national flag at the ramparts of Red Fort here on the occasion of 63rd Independence Day.

"We are proud of our brave soldiers. It is our duty to ensure the ex-servicemen are able to lead a life of comfort, " he added.

Meeting a long-pending demand, the government had last month announced in the General Budget that it accepted the recommendations of Committee headed by Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar to substantially increase the pension of retired Army men.

The revised pension was implemented beginning July this year and it was an attempt to bring it as nearer to the 'One Rank-One Pension' demand of armed forces as possible.

The decision to increase the pension for defence personnel would cost the exchequer over Rs 2,100 crore annually.

ONCE THERE WAS A BLIND MAN LIVING IN A VILLAGE. HE WAS ENGAGED FOR MARRIAGE MANY TIMES BUT DUE TO NOT KNOWN REASONS HE COULD NOT SUCCESS TO HAVE A BRIDE. ONCE AGAIN HE WAS ENGAGED FOR MARRIAGE. HIS NEIGHBOURS BEGIN TO SAY HIM THAT YOUR WIFE IS TOO SMART AND LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.SHE WILL LOOK AFTER YOU VERY WELL.

HEREING THESE COMMENTS, THE BLIND MAN GET TIREOFF AND CALLED FOR A MEETING OF LOCALITY.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID IN MEETING ?

HE SAID, YOU PEOPLE ARE REQUESTED NOT TO COMMENT MORE ABOUT MY MARRIAGE BECAUSE I WILL ONLY BE SURE WHEN MY BRIDE WILL BE IN MY ARMS.

AS PER MY UNDERSTANDING THIS "ONE RANK ONE PENSION" IS LIKE A BLIND MAN"S BRIDE.
