    i am from 3rd Integrated course (41NDA and 3rd NAVAC).
    It was great to know that our Indian Navy has started a Blog for veterans. Bravo Zulu. I am an attitudinal trainer interacting with various organizations Govt/Psu and private. The culture in the Navy is the best and i am proud of it. Those seving must keep in mind every day, because they can not get, what they are getting in Navy. i have worked in an interservice org. Indian Navy does any thing before any other. Thanks

  12. Cmde(Retd) SPR Reddy NM, VSM January 20, 2011 at 12:36 pm #

    Would it be possible for us (or at least to those who want) to get a copy of the ‘Quarterdeck’ magazine on an annual basis? I am aware that it is available on the naval website in the electronic form, but then a magazine in hand is worth two in the computer! Besides, it will make a nice value addition to our small collection of books at home. To offset costs, maybe one could even pay some kind of subscription for it. I will be certainly willing to!

  13. Cdr Suresh Menon January 20, 2011 at 3:11 pm #

  14. Cmde(Retd) Vijay Vaid January 20, 2011 at 3:23 pm #

    The DESA Blog is timely initiative, helping to keep all Naval Personnel and particularly those that have retired, in constant touch with what is happening in the Indian Navy, apart from receiving information on matters of interest to retired personnel.

    This is a very important avenue that has now opened out, as for long, most of the Naval Veterans, rarely heard or knew about the progress being made, in making the Indian Navy a Blue Water Force, capable of projecting the Seapower of the Nation. Well done and keep up the good work. Congratulations!

  27. Cdr A B kulkarni (Retd) January 22, 2011 at 7:33 am #

    This Forum is sure to be an excellent service for all Veterans. If no one minds, I would like to make use of it as and when necessary. I presume many Army and Air Force Veterans would feel the same if they come to know of it.

    Dear Sir, Looking around the Net, I find a lot is being done by the Veterans demanding One Rank One Pension (OROP), presently denied to Pre – 2006 Veterans. I do not see any involvement in it from the Navy. Either we are ill-informed, ignorant or we feel that we are getting enough and no discremination is being shown to Pre- 2006 Veterans.Could you kindly enlighten us, the latest?

    Most Respected Sir,
    Thanks for what you are doing now which is a great service for the Ex sailors.
    I retired from the navy in 1977 after 12.5 years fof service. during this service saw action in 1965 and 1971 on board INS Rajput and INS Vikrant respectievely. A war veteron ??

    But i do not receive any pension. Can u do something to fight this unjustice ? A politician or his staff can get pension after 2 years or 3 years of service. A man who fought for the country receives nothing. No ECHS, No pension.

    nothing more to add. wish you all success.

    This is really a good initiative by DESA and lots of is required to be done for the ex-serviceman for their moral and a respect in the civil society. and must do something good for those who have given their valuable period of life to the indian Navy. They must be given their dues as they have scarified their young life to the Nation.

    i was retired from defence service on 01.01.2001. For finding my revised pension, I have entered my date of birth and date of retirement. But the programme is not accepting the same and showing the message that the difference of the date of birth and date of retirement should be more than 32 years. The difference of my DOB and DOR is 35 years. Please give me a solution to find it

    I am EX-MCMECH(R) from sub-marine arms, presently I am a heart patient and I am under treatment of ECHS, but unfortunately I don’t get all the medicines from the ECHS clinic prescribed by Medical Officer. So I have to buy the non-available medicines from the Medical shop as I can not skip the intake of the medicines. Secondly it is not possible for a patient those who are staying in long distance to go to ECHS clinic every now and then to collect the medicines .

    So I requested ECHS to consider to grant the re-imbersement of the amount for the medicines, purchase from medical shop. I request to all of you to support me for this suggestion.

    Thanks and regards to all.

    • desanavy February 16, 2012 at 10:49 am #

      dear maitra,
      presently govt regulations permit for emergency hospitalisation reimbursement only. not for medicines. oic poly clinic authirised for emegency purchase of medicine up to 30, 000 per month. other wise echs clinic /mh can only give medicines. even cghs scheme also follows same guide line. govt is considering of outsourcing medicines where medical shop will be next poly clinic. but yet to start .
      regards
      cmde mvs kumar, pdesa
