AIPRPA CMC HELD ON 13.09.2020

 

CMC Meeting Decisions on 13.09.2020

The Central Managing Committee of AIPRPA has met today in the video conference under the presidentship of CHQ President Comrade D.K.Rahate. CHQ Advisor Comrade C.C.Pillai (Ex-SG NFPE) was present throughout the meeting and addressed us to guide the meeting. The meeting started after paying homage to all departed Comrades of our front and service organizations as well as other areas including the personalities of political and various other fields. The level of participation was around 17 comrades and the absence of other comrades caused a gap in understanding the correct picture of organizational structure. The absence of States like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, Uttarpradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Telangana in the meeting today has been felt by all.

Two items of agenda alone were concentrated in the meeting today. They are (1) Organizing TUI Pensioners and Retirees call on 1^st October; and (2) Organizational tasks in AIPRPA in all States.

The discussion started with the General Secretary Comrade K.Ragavendran initiating debate on the agenda items. Comrade M.Krishnan Executive Member (Ex-SG Confederation & NFPE) suggested various methods to build the organization in all States and Districts. Except one or two States (due to technical problems) all could join the debate and contribute. Many State General Secretaries presented a detailed picture of AIPRAP organization in their states. The following decisions emerged mainly:

1.    1. NCCPA will be approached to carry forward the struggle against the freezing the DA/DR as a follow up to the Email Campaign conducted by it.

 

2.   2. Decided to hold the TUI Pensioners & Retirees international call to observe 1.10.2020 as “World Day for the Elderly or Pensioners and Retirees” befittingly in all States and Districts.
