Sri PNSrivastava Kanpur is no more, a Giant
Activist falls, we the Losers
1)News of death is
always sad,more so ,when it is of Pensioners fraternity , it is shocking.
Elders & Sr Citizens contribution to Institution,Society & Nation is all important &
significant .Data & Statistics are reeled out on & off by Govt &
Elders Organisations,many working for their cause, welfare & progress.Sr
Citizens ConFederation is a recognized body with a Vision & Mission
Statement.All Regions of India are
covered & time to time, Review
Meetings are held.Govt pays lipservice to Seniors & adopts different
standards & yardsticks to deal with multiple issues of serious concern for
their progress.
2)Unnecessarily,Govt even forces
Pensioners to approach Courts,we are caught in a vicious circle,many succumb
during the interregnum of a tortuous legal battle.The death of Veteran Sri
PNSrivastava is a shocker for he was a brave, courageous & valiant Fighter
for a just cause & always upheld the worth & Dignity of Pensioners in
all walks of life.He was looking after Life Insce Pensioners as also General insce pensioners with same
valour & indomitable will power.Never has he retreated from any cause.He
was thorough with all subject matters & nuances of pensioners issues &
problems.
3)He takes up cause after
cause,whatever the deficiencies or wrong done to pensioners,points out in his
clearcut direct communication to
Chairman or EDPersonnel or ED EOS with aplomb & distinction.We all &
Pensioners community in general owe a deep debt of gratitude to him for the relentless struggle he was
waging to root out the problem causing incalculable damage to pensioners &
their families & lives.
4)I recall when
S/sri BAngurajan. AIOS, AIRIEF met then
ChairmanSri Dinesh K .Mehrotra ,after fixing an appointment ,alongwith
redoubtable GTParikh, Ahmedabad,PNSrivastava,Kanpur ,JKKarulkarMumbai
,presented the issues of pensioners cogently, in the Conference Hall of
Yogakshema, for near 90 mts ,enough attention was paid ,for the 1st
time, from then only ,all Circulars pertaining to Pensioners or affecting
pensioners even remotely, LIC CO commenced to send such emails with attachment
for immediate prompt spread of news or flashes etc .Though
Chairman did not agree to constitute a Consultative Committee, he onserved they
are ever ready with a short notice to be present & address our concerns.
5)During the thick of High Court
cases ,he handled the Allahabad HC case of pensioners on similar lines as of
Jaipur,I sent copious material & data relevant to pinpoint our issue of Loss of DR &
Pension, the anamolies perpetrated & he was thankful for the same.As the
powerful Sr Advocate,BJP was conducting the case, he was confident some good
results will come.
6)His presence in EC/GC meetings of AIRIEF was adorned
with presentation s & ably
communicating the agenda with force & conviction both in Hindi & English.as
he occupied a reasonable good position in General Insce, I have received thro
him & Sri PVVithlani,Ahmedabad their Magazines,emails of happenings, photos
etc.Sri SKMohapatra then ED GIC played a cementing role & many times, LIC
was taken as a standing example for emulation for resolving their issues in GI
Industry .
Kanpur RIEA was issuing regular Bulletins for many years
but for last 2/3 years,I could not receive the valuable Bulletin
7)His death is
untimely,he was a Resource person, for
some reasons,his otherwise mixing & mingling with AIRIEF dwindled, NCZ
& AIRIEF have lost a knowledgeable ,forward-looking activist who joining
hands with others could have galvanized NCZ & enhanced Pensioners prestige
& dignity to a higher desirable level.
May his soul
rest in peace. We in AIRIEF pay our humble homage to the departed leader.We
pray to the Almighty to shower strength & fortitude to bear this
irreparable loss
Yours mournfully,
RBKISHORE
VP,AIRIEF
