Unpleasant Truths

Dear friends,

Today 19th July 2010 farewell ceremony of Smt Pushpa was conducted in lieu of 30th June 2010 as she was infected with some ailments and it was not took place on that day . She actively participated in Tarangam activities and almost all functions held in cwrdm started with her prayer. She is a good singer graced with very pleasant voice. She worked almost all Divisions in CWRDM and all of them appreciated her competance in discharing the duties assigned to her. Her husband had already retired from Legal Metrology Department and they have a son and a daughter. She joined in CWRDM as Typist in 1980 and retired as Typist even though cwrdm adopted Secretariat pattern as carrier improvement rules for administrative staff in the beginning but later it was switched over to KFRI pattern and paved all types of anomalies and disparities among the equals. She was one of sch victims and Registrar in Charge and Head, Surface Water Division Dr N K Joseph pointed out this fact and said that he tried to implement at least one designation change coupled with promotion to this category, but it was in-vain. Actually Thechnical Officer and Technical Assistant Category also suffers the same injustice.

Dr. Jalaja, Scientist, ESD opened that it is better to avoid unpleasant truths from these type of sorrowful occasions as it will only increase the gravity of sadness in the sorrowful eve. What she said is true but the authorities want to show that they have tried to do something for the staff, at least during their retirement. Now a day all things are becoming a show and we are only the actors.

The farewell ceremoney was welcomed by Shri M R Venugopal, President, Tarangam and Scientist & in Charge of RSC. Dr P Jayakumar, Executive Director, presided over the function. Dr Madhavan Komath, Scientist,CWAL also spok on the occation. Tarangam General Secretary E G Soman expressed vote of thanks.

Smt. Pushpa and family and my family mentained a acordial relationship and we wish them a wealthy, healthy and prosperous life.

with best wishes to all,
