LIC Pensioner news


We 
agree with Shri SN when he says that frankly pensioners of LIC and 
Banks are sailing in the same boat in as much as both are fighting against
their establishments in the Law Courts for updation of pension and 100% 
relief... That's fine Shri SN.  We agree with you.  But we are unable to agree 
with any of your other propositions in the post.  Agreeing with Shri SN and 
his post may come to be taken as the Editor's admission that the whole 
purpose of publishing the Chronicle is to bring to LIC pensioners the details 
and different facets of the legal fight of the pensioners against LIC and 
Government of India only.  It may also be taken as the Editor's willingness to 
close down Chronicle and stop publishing the same after the fight in the 
supreme court is finished.

True, 
a section of the readers who may be interested only in court 
matters and in the simple fact that they are winning the case pending in 
the Supreme Court or partly losing it only, and such readers may also 
desert us or abandon the Chronicle.  But enough interest of the 
general readers could be created and such interest could be 
sustained too by systematically including matters of general interest.
  Some research in this area may be necessary and with sustained 
efforts we are sure, LIC Pensioners Chronicle could be transformed 
into an effective vehicle to carry out this pious and onerous task 
of meeting the legitimate need for 'total news' for the pensioners 
in LIC and the pensioners at large. 

LIC 
pensioners cannot exist alone with their own pensioner related 
problems.  Even if they wish to exist without bothering much 
about what is happening on other fronts, they can be a successful lot 
only if they try to co-exist with other pensioners,their 
problems and their achievements. Towards this end it is necessary
we try to know our own problems and problems of Bank and
other similar institutions, state or central, in the country. In short, let us
try to be an enlightened lot and not avoid reading anything that is
brought to us. -Ed.
