7th-pay-commission-for-indian-soldiers

After a week-long difference of opinion over the implement enhanced salaries under the 7th Central Pay Commission pay, the armed forces have heeded the advice of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (CoSC) Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha has issued directions to all service headquarters asking them to issue orders for implementation of the 7th CPC.This means that the soldiers will receive their new salary in their pay for September, payable in October.

Parrikar has assured the forces that their four-key demands will be met and issue will be sorted out but the decision of the government has to be implemented.Parrikar assured them that the “anomalies” they pointed out in the 7th CPC would be taken up at the “highest level”. Their core demands are entry level pay be hiked as its suppressed, disability pension be brought at par with other wing of the Government; the forces we allowed Non-functional financial upgrade (NFU) and Enhancement of Military Service Pay (MSP) for JCOs.The implementation had been stopped on September 9 after the three services issued letters to their formations saying they have asked the Government to hold “in abeyance” the implementation of the CPC in view of the “unresolved anomalies”. The Tribune had first reported on the matter in its edition dated September 11.

The ‘unresolved anomalies’ had surfaced in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) notification issued on September 6.On September 12, Parrikar had asked the forces to implement the pay commission and grievances, if any, can be taken up latter. The MoD had notified the new pay commission on September 6 and the CoSC had met on September 7 and decided to withhold the CPC pending ‘resolution of anomalies’.

11 Ways To Identify A Fauji Out From A Crowd

11-ways-to-identify-a-fauji-out-from-a-crowd

There are various ways to identify a fauji man – whether in uniform or in civils. And these ways certainly are different than identifying others. There are some traits and identifying factors that make the fauji stand out of the crowd; here are some of these:

 

  1. Crew Cut: Agreed already? The first thing you see when you say a man is fauji is his haircut. That typical haircut with a zero on sides and one above the scalp makes it easier to identify a fauji.
  2. Attitude: The enthusiasm, positivity, engagement, upbeat and the professional attitude totally stands out. They are friendly and approachable.
  3. Fast Actions: Fauijs walk with a purpose, as if their trip to the grocery store is actually a field briefing. Because they know the importance of time and its management.
  4. Communication: Faujis are attentive, respectful and good listeners. This stellar communication habits went a long way moulding a fauji into what you are experiencing today.
  5. T-Shirt tucked in a tracked: And follow this up with PT shoes in broad daylight, voila! You can surely say that he is a fauji.
  6. Professionalism: Pay attention to what he does to mark him as a fauji. They are memorable and unique, remarkable and talented, professional and reliable, creative and interesting. Just anything can’t define it unless you see it. What’s different about fauji is visible yet unnoticeable.
  7. Jargon: Fauijs have a totally different accent on language. As if they are trying to speak to their senior. That respect always reflects.
  8. Perfectly Turned Out: Whether he is in uniform, evening formals or in a pair of jeans and a tee you can be sure he is perfectly groomed and well turned out.
  9. Every Other Person is “Sir”/”Madam”: You can easily pick out a fauji by their over usage of “sir” and “ma’am.” It is a credit to the military’s discipline that a cashier receives the same clipped tones and politeness a four-star general would.indian-navy-couple
  10. Respecting All Religions: Indian military is one of the few genuinely secular organisations in our country where personal religious equations are largely irrelevant. Every religion is equally attended by everyone.
  11. Sleeping anywhere, anytime: Faujis can sleep approximately anywhere, on anything. And mind you, the hard work that goes in learning that sleep is worth it.

You know more traits that make a fauji stand out of the crowd? Let us know in the comments.

Officials in charge of the President’s security faced some tense moments during the ceremonial ‘passing out parade’ at the Officers Training Academy at St. Thomas Mount in Chennai recently.

Soon after the piping ceremony, President Pranab Mukherjee, who was the reviewing officer of the parade, unexpectedly rose from his chair and wanted to interact with the officers in the ground near the administrative building.

As he entered the crowd of officers, parents and their families, security personnel had a tough time controlling them, as most of the new officers wanted to take a selfie with the President. Even before the security personnel could react, some managed to take selfies with the President.

Meet Nidhi Mishra, Late Soldier’s Wife Cleared SSB Interview In 5th Attempt

At 29, Nidhi Mishra Dubey lost her husband who was a Naik in the Mahar Regiment.

When he died, Nidhi was pregnant with their son. When Nidhi learnt that there was a provision in the Army for the widows of armed personnel to join the forces, she decided to apply. “I saw how helpful thefauji s were when my husband was ailing. I liked the camaraderie in the Army. I have great respect for the vardi (uniform), as my father, who is in the police force also wears one.” Fortunately for Nidhi, many things colluded in her favour, most of all the help and encouragement she received from the Army. R. Vinayak, a retired Brigadier, who helped her out with her family pension, says he was struck by Nidhi’s determination. “She had already applied unsuccessfully four times, but she kept at it.”

Finally, with some mentoring from the Brigadier, Colonel Diwanji who also runs a training centre in Indore, and Colonel M.P. Singh who was the GTO (Group Testing Officer) at the Mahar Regimental Centre, Sagar, Nidhi made it to the merit list of the SSB in May 2016 in her 5th attempt.

“She fared extremely well in the SSB rankings,” says Brigadier Vinayak.

Nidhi also says she is no stranger to hardship, and that she doesn’t fear the physical rigors of a soldier’s life.

Her decision to join the Army was also fuelled by her determination to ensure that her son joins the armed forces as well in the future.

“All along, I have been encouraged, supported and cheered on by the fauji s,” she says, “So, this is the best possible thing I can do.” She reiterates that she achieved her goal because of her parents’ and brother’s unstinting support. “I couldn’t have done it without them,” she says. Nidhi will also leave her son behind at her parents’, as she readies herself to don the uniform and report at OTA in early October, along with Swati Mahadik.lt-nidhi-mishra

No Women Pilot Cadets Volunteered To Join The Indian Air Force Fighter Pilot Team

0
indian-air-force-academy

Nearly a year after IAF chief, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha softly revealed to the world that his force would accept women pilots in the cockpits of their fighter planes comes an unexpected development. Following the commissioning of India’s first women fighter pilots in June this year, not a single lady cadet has volunteered to join the fighter aircraft stream. They’ve chosen to fly transport aircraft and helicopters, it was revealed.

The Air Force Academy (AFA) at Dundigal, outside Hyderabad, where cadets train before being commissioned has four women pilots in the current, 198th batch who’ve made the cut. “However, they’ve chosen options other than flying fighter planes. One has opted for the transport fleet and three have sought to join the helicopter fleet. This is strange, no doubt but I will not lose my sleep over it. It is an individual’s decision. Flying a fighter is a call for cadets to take provided they qualify. This shows the IAF has kept its doors open should we get good candidates,” explained a source.

A request for response made to the IAF spokesperson went unanswered. However, an insider explained, “It is this batch which has opted this way. The next may opt differently. If and when, not volunteering on the part of women officers in the fighter stream becomes a feature seen over many batches, do we really need to think why”.

The 198th batch will soon graduate and each of the individuals will be assigned their respective destinations, depending on the streams they chose whether flying, technical or ground duties.

All services, for now, allow women to only join as officers. With the lifting of the last hurdle in the form of fighter plane flying, the IAF has now opened all streams to women. Though they’ve moved ahead from where they were earlier, the navy and the army still retain several streams where the entry of women is disallowed. Women officers in the IAF’s ‘Flying branch’ are allowed in through the short service commission which implies a maximum term of 14 years. Allowing women pilots to opt for fighter streams is currently on an ‘experimental basis for five years’.

Flying Officers Avani Chaturvedi, Mohana Singh and Bhawana Kanth, who were commissioned in the 197th batch as the first female pilots who had qualified to fly the fighter planes are undergoing their ‘Stage III’ training at Bidar in Karnataka. They are currently training on the British-made Hawk Advanced Jet Aircraft (AJT).

IAF’s training for the ‘Flying branch’ is divided into three stages. The first stage comprises of 24 weeks of training at AFA followed by the second stage involving 24 weeks at specialised establishments. Once they complete their third and final stage is when they begin operational flying with units assigned to them.
