Present executive has been rigorously and consistently following implementation of recommendation of VIth CPC at every level. We met and represented DGRHS, Member Staff, Financial Commissioner, Railway Board, Health Secretary, Secretary Expenditure and Cabinet Secretary in this regard. All the members of Committee of Secretaries particularly Health Secretary, Expenditure Secretary and Cabinet Secretary have been extremely helpful for which we are grateful to them.

I express my sincere thanks to all the members of present executive body for their constant support and cooperation. Dr.Mrs.Jaya Shree Rana. Sr.Vice President of the Association has been instrumental in follow up of things at higher levels. Dr.Sudhir Kumar Sharma, former General Secretary and Secretary of IRMS Association committee for 6th CPC not only drafted the memorandum but also has been actively following the things.

Enhancement of Retirement Age:

We have been chasing the issue. Presently file is with Health Minister for approval of draft cabinet note.

Provision of Hired Vehicles to SAG officers:
We have represented against sharing of vehicles to be done by IRMS officers while all other officers in zonal railway have been one hired vehicle for one officer.

Organizational Issues:

Zonal Body:
Without active and strong zonal and divisional bodies, association cannot function effectively. Therefore, it is requested to form these bodies at the earliest as envisaged in constitution of the association.

Communication:
Both ways active communications should be maintained to make association vigilant. E-mail addresses and CUG numbers of maximum possible number of members must be sent at the earliest.

Funds:

Rly and Rs10,000 from NCR Railway , which is a very small number. All the members are requested to send their life membership fee through your zonal body to the undersigned by an account payee draft payable at New Delhi in name of Indian Railway Medical Service Association.

ii) It was decided that Rs.10,000/- out of saving from each of the conferences held by the zonal railway should be contributed to IRMS Association. Accordingly, contribution of Rs.10,000/- each has been made by N.E. Rly and NC Railway. Rest of the zonal railways are requested to follow it.

iii) Dr.B.J. Mahidik, CMD, EC Rly organized first ever two days scientific conference at Patna in June’2008 under banner of IRMS Association for which he deserves special praise.
