Reply From A Recommended Candidate To “An Open Letter To The SSB Boards”

An Open Letter To The SSB Boards

Dear all, with pride and honor I take the opportunity to write an individual note for the above subject. Thanks to SSBCRACK for posting two of my articles earlier.  It is understood that it takes a herculean task with paramount efficiency to hear the Chest no on the final day of the result. Yes, about the recommendation and then being in merit. As the content of the post on “An open letter to the SSB Boards” throws light on the changes needed to be inculcated, I would like to share my views.

Be it the danger in future or the danger at  present, the calculative ability of the Hierarchical officials in the defense is beyond remarkability. They absolutely work without any  comprises in quality. There must be a reason as to  why  the competency for the SSB is so tough, carrying a ratio of 1:600(approx.). Moreover, there are so many batches from where  no one gets recommended. So it’s clear that despite the fact that there is shortage in the number of officers, the quality expectations  will never be compromised.

Right fit defines the performance i.e right performance at right moment, for as far as we know, it isn’t all about the personality but it is all about how we score in those 5 days at the different stages. Scores matter which bears a direct proportionality with the performance at that moment (irrespective of the fact whether one has been previously recommended or not).

Lets consider an example, A guy comes first in class at one term but fails at the other term. How can his personality or studious ability change in a matter of a term? Surprising, ain’t it. Buts its true and therefore he fails. Achievements should always be celebrated and made history.

The point is “Once a performer should always be a performer”. I know my view will contradict many, hurt sentiments too, but whats the point of wasting time in these thoughts.It is the truth which cannot be denied. I personally have examples as friends who have been earlier recommended for NDA, but stood out merit. Nevertheless after 4 years of engineering they got recommended again and are now officers.An Open Letter To The SSB Boards

So instead, be cool, try to introspect not in mind but in pen and paper as to what went wrong. Many proceed to the SSB with an intention or dream to get recommended, but very few ponder on what actually needs to be done in the tasks. Like, say practice writing short stories with an optimistic vision , building some lecture skills or public speaking skills. So proceed to the SSB with a thought that, this is my last ssb and give your true 100 percent. Routinely practice writing great thought based stanzas to enhance your mind towards good thinking. It does make a difference Gentlemen. The sole power to achieve anything begins with an optimistic seed. So let’s not suggest people about the changes what needs to be done and instead upgrade ourselves to that extent , where they will not have a ground to reject you. Unleash thyself to the power of infinity. Remember, Every great dream begins with a great dreamer so reach high for the stars are there in your soul. Take a pledge today that I shall perform as if it is my last performance and will devote all my mind and be focused on the task , than being focused at the rewards. Good luck Gentleman and thank u once again SSBCRACK

Regards,

Sajal roy

Around 250 NDA Cadets Fall Sick After Having Cadet Mess Food

NDA Cadet Mess

Around 250 cadets reported sick on Thursday after having food served at the Cadet Mess at India’s premier defence training institution National Defence Academy, Pune. They had to be rushed for treatment immediately. Due to limited number of beds available at the medical unit of the premier defence institution, the cadets had to be placed on the floor. A report said that the total number of unwell cadets were as high as 700 and were vomiting after they had egg curry. However, NDA officers maintain the number was around 250.

According to a clarification issued by NDA, “A case of severe indigestion was reported by about 250 cadets on September 10 after having their breakfast and lunch in the Cadets Mess at NDA.” But it seems that only those who consumed egg curry fell sick.NDA Cadet Mess

The cadets have resumed their training after they were discharged from Military Hospital Khadakwasla.

An Open Letter to the SSB Boards

SSB board

This is for all the Service Selection Boards, of all the Services, from the candidates, recommended, non-recommended and screened outs. I would begin this by saying and offering my heartfelt thanks to you people. Certainly the boarding and lodging facilities which you provide are class apart. Arranging such facilities for such a huge crowd is commendable in all means. I would also like to thank the mess staff; you make us feel at home. In short thanks for giving us an atmosphere to make memories which we cherish all along our lives. The friends we make, the time we spent here, it all becomes incomparable because of the opportunity provided by the board. I would like to thank you for the amazing chances you provide us with, to try our hands on different games, for giving us a chance to attend SSB as a compulsion in a city different than our residence, thus exposing us to new places. For providing the opportunity for us to live our life, though for a short span only, the Armed Forces way.

Now coming on to the testing procedure. I know it is tried and tested, and I know you can’t make mistakes. Still, isn’t it too old, shouldn’t there be any changes in the testing procedure? This is not a blame on the able officers who are a part of the board, this is not even a blame on the testing process, yet changes are good with time. This procedure of SSB is being followed since time immemorial. I remember my Dad telling me the exact same procedure of his SSB, as I faced in mine. I know sitting here, and commenting is very easy, and I know being critical about the selection process is the easiest thing to do, and the most convenient way of transferring the reason of failure on something else. I am not saying that the process is at fault, neither am I saying that the selections made are wrong. All I am saying is changes with time are good, the world is moving to another dimension, and changing with the world, for the better is definitely not going to be a wrong thing to do.

There is nothing wrong with the current procedure, yet a few things are unexplainable. To begin with, we are told that they take in the right fit, yet a recommended candidate is not recommended in his next attempt and vice versa (Captain Vikram Batra is a huge example). If the test is all about personality, the right fit and qualities then how is it possible to change it within a certain duration. Is it about the personality or about showing the qualities at the right place, on the right time? If the selection system is perfect then why there are ill practices and wrong behavior by the officers at times, why do candidates leave and quit when they are under training? Why there are so many VRS’?SSB board

Again this is not to offend anybody, and certainly the board is not at fault, as they are doing a great job by selecting able officers. Yet with time certain things should change, there are immense candidates who are ready to do whatever it takes to serve in the Armed Forces. A request to that candidates is to keep trying. In the end I would like to say, thank you again.

All You Need To Know About OROP

OROP

Hello, Warriors!, This Janmashtami and Teacher’s Day has bought some good news for the protesting ex-servicemen-the implementation of OROP.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised during his Independence Day speech to deliver One Rank One Pension (OROP) for retired defence personnel, and now defence minister Manohar Parrikar has fulfilled that pledge. This is a great moment for jawans and officers, fulfilling a justified demand of veterans that was outstanding for 42 years.

With the implementation of this long-pending scheme, here’s all that you need to know about One Rank, One Pension:

  1. The OROP scheme had been a long-standing demand of the over two million ex-servicemen of India. It seeks to ensure that a uniform pension is paid to the defence personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement.
  2. As of now, the date of retirement determined the amount of pension. With each Pay Commission coming up with its recommendations every 10 years, the military veterans who retire early, received less pension as compared to those who retired later with the same rank and length of service.
  3. Currently, all pre-2006 pensioners receive lesser pension than not only their counterparts but also their juniors. This means that an officer who retired before 2006 recieves less pension than that of his juniors and jawans who retired after 2006.
  4. The scheme is estimated to cost around Rs. 8,600 crore – Rs 10,000 crore initially and subsequently several crore rupees annually.OROP
  5. The demand for the implementation of the One Rank One Pension scheme had led to a massive protest on 8 February 2009, when more than 300 retired soldiers of varying ranks had marched to the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi and had returned medals won in combat and for distinguished service as they sought equal pension for each rank.
  6. In the same year, the Supreme Court, in the case of Union of India & Maj Gen SPS Vains & Others had directed the center to implement OROP asap and had ruled that “no defence personnel senior in rank could get a lower pension than his junior irrespective of the date of retirement, and that similarly placed officers of the same rank should be given the same pension irrespective of the date of retirement,”.
  7. However, it still took five years for the government to recognise this demand made by the military veterans. In February 2014, the government accepted the long-standing demand of ex-servicemen for the One Rank One Pension scheme and had allocated Rs 500 crore to the Defence Pension Account for the implementation of the scheme.
  8. In the July 2014 Budget, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had also announced an allocation of Rs 1000 crore for this scheme. In December 2014, Parrikar had said that the OROP will be implemented in the defence forces before the next Budget.
  9. Miffed over the delay in the roll-out of the scheme for the armed forces, 1971 war veteran Wing Commander (Retd) Suresh Karnik and Wing Commander (Retd) KV Bopardikar on Thursday had boycotted a gallantry award function in Pune attended by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
  10. After several protests and demands, the Manmohan Singh government towards its fag-end had agreed in principle to clear the scheme in 2013. Realising the importance of correcting the wrong, the Narendra Modi government and the prime minister himself gave renewed hope to the veterans by announcing the implementation of the OROP scheme “as soon as possible”. Finally, on 5th September, 2015, the government had implemented the OROP scheme.
  11. Ex-servicemen drawing pensions will benefit from the OROP scheme, especially those who retired before 2006. Why? Because at present, pensioners who retired before 2006 draw less pension than their counterparts and even their juniors. The scheme will benefit all three services – air force, navy and army.
  12. However, all the demands of veterans were not met with the implementation of OROP which include:
    • Effective from April 1, 2014 as against July 1, 2014.
    • Base year for fixing pension to be 31st March, 2014 against the govt’s decision for 2013 calender year.
    • Pension to be refixed every 2 years as against every 5 years.
    • 3-member judicial panel to examine complex issues and submit report within 1 month whereas government has fixed 1-member and the time period is six months.
  13. The veterans still continue the protest to meet their full demand after breaking their fast unto death on 5th September, 2015. They look after the implementation of all their demands.
