🙏 With folded hands, I humbly request: Don't make me wait any longer. 🙏

 🙏 With folded hands, I humbly request: Don't make me wait any longer. 🙏

You say, "We'll talk next time,"

We'll consider increasing the pension some other time.

But how do you know what's happening here?

Every breath of life is now becoming a burden.

It's becoming difficult to pass each minute here,

This burden of waiting has become helpless.

People are leaving, relying on your "tomorrow,"

They are parting ways with the world in the hope of their own rights.

With folded hands, I request you, don't make future promises.

Whatever you have to do, please do it today, right now.

Who knows tomorrow? Time is running out,

Every passing moment is eroding our hope. 🙏💔

🙏 हाथ जोड़कर विनम्र विनय है: अब और इंतज़ार मत करवाइए 🙏

🙏 हाथ जोड़कर विनम्र विनय है: अब और इंतज़ार मत करवाइए 🙏

आप कहते हैं, "अगली बार बात करेंगे,"
पेंशन बढ़ाने पर फिर कभी विचार करेंगे।
पर आप क्या जानें, यहाँ क्या बीत रही है,
ज़िंदगी की हर साँस अब भारी पड़ रही है।

यहाँ एक-एक मिनट काटना दुश्वार हो गया है,
इंतज़ार का यह बोझ अब लाचार हो गया है।
आपके 'कल' के भरोसे में लोग विदा हो रहे हैं,
अपने ही हक़ की आस में संसार से जुदा हो रहे हैं।

हाथ जोड़कर विनती है, अब आगे के वादे मत कीजिए,
जो भी करना है, दया कर आज और अभी कीजिए।
कल किसने देखा है, वक़्त निकला जा रहा है,
हर गुज़रता पल हमारी उम्मीद को मिटा रहा है। 🙏💔

*Search and download a list of network hospitals by city*

I've created an application to retrieve a list of network hospitals by city.

For example, if you want a list of network hospitals in Meerut, type the initials "ME" in the city search option. The application will suggest all cities with these two letters together, such as MEERUT, MEDAK, AHMEDABAD, etc. Clicking on the desired city will display a list of all network hospitals in that city.

You can download this list in CSV or PDF format. The CSV file can be opened in Excel or any other spreadsheet application. The PDF file can be viewed using a PDF reader on your mobile device.

If you want to search for a specific hospital in a city, you can search by typing the hospital name after selecting the city. Here, you'll receive automatic suggestions as you type. Additionally, you can also search for a specific hospital across India.

 You can also download a complete list of 18,557 network hospitals across the country.

 Circular No. 09/2026.

To all Affiliated Units

10.11.2026

Dear Comrades,

Re: .

The Central Committee Meeting of AIIPA held at Guwahati on 25th & 26th September, 2026 decided a series of programme of action for realisation of the just and legitimate demands of Insurance Pensioners. (Details were furnished in our Circular No. 05/2026) As a first step, a demonstration has to be conducted before the Offices of LIC and PSGI Companies to draw the attention of the respective managements.

We advise all our Units to hold demonstration during lunch recess on 18th November, 2026 before Zonal Offices and Divisional Offices of LIC and Regional Offices & Head Offices of Public Sector General Insurance Companies. Gate meeting also must be organised on the day. Resolution adopted in the meeting has to be handed over to the Officer-in charge for onward transmission to the Corporate Offices of both institutions. A draft of resolution for the use of Units in Life Sector is being sent with this. Draft resolution for GIPA Units would be sent to them within a couple of days.

All Units are requested to mobilise maximum number of pensioners for the programme. Wide media coverage also must be ensured.

The demonstration in LIC is organised by AIIPA and AIRIEF jointly. Our Units are advised to liaise with the Units of AIRIEF at their end and take them into confidence for smooth conduct of the programme.

Joint Circular issued by the two organisations is reproduced herein below for information and necessary preparations.

With greetings,

Comradely yours,

General Secretary

 ऑल इंडिया इन्श्योरेंस पेंशनर्स एसोसिएशन 

ऑल इंडिया रिटायर्ड इन्श्योरेंस एंप्लॉयीज़ एसोसिएशन 

10.11.2026.

लाइफ सेक्टर की सभी एफिलिएटेड यूनिट्स को।

प्रिय साथियों,

विषय: *18 नवंबर, 2026 को प्रदर्शन।*

LIC पेंशनर्स और रिटायर्ड लोगों के एसोसिएशन के जॉइंट फोरम की मीटिंग में लिए गए फैसले के मुताबिक, 2 नवंबर, 2026 को LIC ऑफ इंडिया के CEO और MD को एक साथ एक लेटर भेजा गया था। इसमें LIC पेंशनर्स से जुड़े कुछ ज़रूरी मुद्दे बताए गए थे और उनके जल्द हल की मांग की गई थी।

उक्त बैठक में यह भी निर्णय लिया गया कि मांगों पर आगे दबाव बनाने के लिए 18 नवंबर, 2026 को एलआईसी कार्यालयों के सभी क्षेत्रीय/ मंडल कार्यालयों के समक्ष प्रदर्शन किया जाएगा।

इसके बाद, एक दुखद बात हुई। जॉइंट फोरम के एक पार्टनर, यानी फेडरेशन ऑफ रिटायर्ड LIC क्लास I ऑफिसर्स एसोसिएशन्स ने जॉइंट फोरम से बाहर निकलने का फैसला किया, जिसके कारण वे ही जानते हैं। हालांकि वे 29 अक्टूबर को हुई जॉइंट मीटिंग में 18 नवंबर के प्रदर्शन के प्रोग्राम से सहमत थे और उस मीटिंग के मिनट्स पर जॉइंट साइन करने वालों में से एक थे, लेकिन बाद में उनकी राय थी कि प्रदर्शन का प्रोग्राम टकराव वाला तरीका है जो ठीक नहीं है। हमने उनसे अपने फैसले पर दोबारा सोचने की रिक्वेस्ट की, लेकिन वे अपनी बात पर अड़े रहे। हमारी यह दलील कि प्रदर्शन करना मैनेजमेंट के नेगेटिव रवैये के खिलाफ अपनी गहरी भावना दिखाने का एक तरीका है और यह टकराव नहीं है, बल्कि सिर्फ अपनी नाराजगी दिखाना है, उन्हें मनाने के लिए काफी नहीं थी। हालांकि, उन्हें अपनी राय रखने का हक है।

इन हालात में, हमारे पास पहले से तय किए गए एक्शन प्रोग्राम पर आगे बढ़ने के अलावा कोई दूसरा विकल्प नहीं बचा है। AIIPA और AIRIEF इस फैसले पर कायम हैं।

हम देश भर में AIIPA और AIRIEF की सभी यूनिट्स से अनुरोध करते हैं कि वे 18 नवंबर, 2026 को लंच ब्रेक के दौरान LIC के ज़ोनल ऑफिस और डिविजनल ऑफिस के सामने डेमोंस्ट्रेशन करें और इस प्रोग्राम के लिए ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा LIC पेंशनर्स को इकट्ठा करें। यह कहने की ज़रूरत नहीं है कि दोनों ऑर्गनाइज़ेशन की यूनिट्स के बीच सही बातचीत और संपर्क को सबसे ज़्यादा प्राथमिकता दी जानी चाहिए। हमने AILICEF और AIIEA दोनों से उनके सहयोग और मदद के लिए संपर्क किया है।

डेमोंस्ट्रेशन वाले दिन गेट मीटिंग भी होनी चाहिए और मीटिंग में पास हुआ प्रस्ताव ZOs और DOs के ऑफिसर-इन-चार्ज को देना होगा ताकि उसे आगे सेंट्रल ऑफिस, LIC of India, मुंबई भेजा जा सके। सभी यूनिट्स के इस्तेमाल के लिए ड्राफ्ट प्रस्ताव नीचे दिया गया है। प्रिंट और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक, दोनों मीडिया में इसकी अच्छी कवरेज होनी चाहिए।

आपका साथी,

एम कुन्हीकृष्णन, महासचिव, AIIPA.
