Thanks Gangaraju for recalling the services renderèd to tu movement of lic employees in particular and tu movement in general and in the process the services of com Drk reddy com Ykm of Hyderabad and com Ananth Subbarao and com Narayana of Bangalore and stalwart leaders from Machilipatnam and com like Chandandas Gupta cannot be forgotten.
May be the present generation lic employees may not have heard about them. But their services are invaluable. They are selfless people and never afraid of calling a Spade a Spade and never sought any favours from the management.
I was present in the meeting of joint front held in the Federation office in Mumbai in the year 1987 where Comrades Chandrasekhar bose, Saroj, Aaron, Patel, mms , bhaskaran and others participated to chalk out program to fight LIC management.

Com.Bhaskaran, Com.Dhandapani, Com.Krishnan, Dindugal Narayanan, later at Thanjavur, Com.R..Govindarajan. Salute to all these selfless Comrades .
Mohan Kumaramangalam was the President, when I joined LIC at Madurai and Com.Umanath president of our AIIEA when in 1962, in pouring rain, Com.Umanath came leading the procession fully drenched.
I am afraid that the present leadership of AIIEA is not fully convinced of updation, possibly taking a stand that it is not pragmatic. What exactly the AIIEA feel and why do not throw their hat in favour of pensioners we are not fully aware of. This AIRIEF ishould be able to seek the support of AIIEA.
Editor adds...
Editor had the proud privilege of interviewing Com.NM Sundaram, Com. R. Govindarajan for two days in Chennai and Com AV Nachane for one day in Mumbai.
Publishing these interviews may be considered though these interviews done in the year 1990 may not be of much interest to many of us since the mood of pensioners is different at present and stands focused on other subjects. -Ed.
