S.K.VYAS MEMORIAL DAY
13.02.2016
13th February – Last year 13th February
only the nature had taken away our legendary leader Comrade Sri Krishna Vyas from us. A leader bestowed with the best
knowledge and wisdom about the issues of Central Government Employees and
Pensioners in particular and of the Working Class in general is not with us at
this crucial hour. Having labored and associated with all the Central Pay
Commissions including the 7th CPC, we miss him dearly at this time
of our dealing with the retrograde recommendations of the Pay Commission.
His insight into the organizational weaknesses of Pensioners
movement was astounding. He diagnosed that the majority of Pensioners in India
remain outside organizations and that the only path to organize them all is to
found departmental wise Pensioners Organizations that should work united under
the platform of the Apex organizations called the NCCPA. He distanced the
doubts from the minds of many by clarifying that formation of departmental
wise pensioners organizations will not
weaken the CGPA movement but will strengthen the NCCPA as like the
Confederation of CG Employees is strengthened by departmental wised individual
Federations and Unions! He categorically said that the inability to reach out
the multitude of pensioners is possible only through formation of departmental
wise pensioners’ forums formed and taken forward by erstwhile retired trade
union office bearers as like the AIBDPA and AIPRPA.
He was always clear that only through united struggles, the
employees and pensioners can anticipate something better at the hands of the
unwilling Government. He was always a fighter for justice and the lone battle
he fought against the Government against impounding of workers due in the past.
Comrade S,K,Vyas was a Central Government employees leader; a leader of
Pensioners movement; a Teacher of any subject to the masses; an ardent writer
with knowledge in defense of workers at trouble; an orator who can reach out to
the hearts of audience as well as appeal to the intellect of the masses; a man
of compassion towards other human beings under suffering; a fearless leader to lead
the mass of employees in struggles; a scholar in several languages and subjects
and above all a man of very simple life and honesty in his whole life.
As per the decision of the NCCPA All India Conference let us
observe “S.K.Vyas Memorial Day” every
year on 13th February in
a befitting manner. Kindly hold meetings and programmes to observe the day and
remember the towering legend.
K.Ragavendran
General Secretary AIPRPA
