The Retired Railway Employees Welfare Association (RREWA), Gurgaon is doing a yeoman service to Railway Pensioners in particular and other Pensioners in general. Its yearly Journal is not only interesting and informative but also provides them necessary guidance in various issues like health care, financial planning, strategies for making their voice heard, in addition to keeping them upto date about the various concerned orders issued by the Railway Administration / Government of India.
The RREWA website provides information with ease to all Pensioners and Senior Citizens. It is very popular and has registered its presence in 83 countries and 132 cities of India and has crossed the landmark of 300,000 Visitors.
Some other notable Achievements/Contributions by RREWA are :
· RREWA has been re-nominated to SCOVA (Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies) of the Government of India which is a rare honour.
· RREWA has been nominated in the GOI advisory committee of users for web based ‘Pensioners’ Portal ‘ under National e Governance plan (NeGP)
· General Secretary, RREWA, has been nominated as Chair Person of AISCCON’s National Committee for Pensioner’s Welfare. The AISCCON (All India Senior Citizens Confederation) is the largest organisation of Senior Citizens in the country with over 10 lac membership.
· RREWA in coordination with BPS (Bharat Pensioners Samaj) conducted 2nd Convention of Railway Pensioners Associations at Secunderabad on 13.2.2011 and has planned for 3rd Convention at New Jalpaiguri on 29th March 2012.
Management of the Association is in competent hands and I am confident that the RREWA will improve its performance further to achieve newer heights.
I wish the Office Bearers of the RREWA and its Members all the best in the years to come.
