ECHS
Government Approves Massive Expansion of Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme
Government Approves Massive Expansion of Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme To provide equitable treatment to all eligible Ex-Servicemen and their dependents under the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) and to enhance the scheme’s coverage, the Union Cabinet today approved Establishment of 199 new polyclinics including 17 mobile medical facilities and 15 new regional centres at a cost of Rs. 141 crores. With this, the ECHS facility will now be extended to those areas, where Ex-Servicemen population is below 2,500 by setting up polyclinics which are within reasonable distance from Ex-Servicemen concentrations.
The Cabinet also approved reorganization and strengthening the Central Organisation ECHS by suitably increasing the manpower. It has authorized additional manpower – 2263 in number on contractual basis, to man the additional 199 polyclinics.
It has also authorized 315 serving personnel – 60 officers and 255 PBORs, for proposed regional centres and seven officers and 15 PBORs for Central Organisation ECHS. Financial implications towards creation of infrastructure will be about Rs.141 crore.
This will entail a capital expenditure of Rs. 118.52 crore towards cost of land, construction and medical equipment. An amount of Rs. 22.25 crore of expenditure will cover purchase of furniture etc, and IT hardware.
On the recurring side, an expenditure of Rs.43 crore per annum is envisaged. It may be recalled that the ECHS was introduced on April 01, 2003 to provide comprehensive medical coverage to Ex-Servicemen pensioners, war widows and dependents by establishing 227 polyclinics at stations with Ex-Servicemen population above 2500 throughout the country.
106 polyclinics are at military stations and 121 polyclinics are at non-military stations. Where the Ex-Servicemen population is less than 2,500, the Ex-Servicemen face hardships in reaching polyclinics because of the distance. There are over 30 lakh ECHS beneficiaries now.
On an average 60,000 Servicemen retire every year and this results in a further addition of 60,000 Ex-Servicemen and 1,44,000 dependents to the list of beneficiaries each year. Over 7 lakh Ex-Servicemen, who retired prior to April 01, 2003 have not opted for the scheme primarily due to non-availability of polyclinics near their places of residence.
There are also insufficient number of regional centres to monitor the polyclinics. Following is the list of additional polyclinics planned to be established:-

DEARNESS ALLOWANCE (D.A) FOR JULY 2010
All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 for the past four month have been published in Labour Bureau website. According to these results we can expect that July 2010 will witness at least 9% increase in Dearness Allowance That is from the Existing 35% to 44%
All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 for the month of April, 2010 remained stationary at 170 (one hundred and seventy).For the past three months from February 2010 to April 2010, the All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) remained stationary at 170.Theconsumer Price Index Number(CPI-IW) for the month of January 2010 was 172.and the CPI-IW for the month of May and June yet to be announced.
Hence it is very much earlier to predict the D.A hike for the period of July 2010 to December 2010.But it is expected that for the remaining two months (May and June) the CPI-IW Number will be at 170 to 171.If the official CPI-IW index published by Labour Bureau, Department of Statistics, goes along with our expectation for the remaining two months, then we can say that there will be at least 9% hike in Dearness Allowance from July 2010.

Highlights of the CII-Deloitte report on Indian defence Industry
· Indian defence procurement would rise to an estimated USD 42 Billion (including USD 19.20 bn for capital acquisition)
· The defence capital expenditure budget is expected to achieve a compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10 Percent from 2011 – 2015.
· Total indigenous production over 2011-2015 would need to expand from approx USD 30 bn to more than USD 70 bn in the span of 5 years to be able to achieve 70 percent indigenization by the year 2015.
· It is estimated that India is likely to spend nearly USD 80 bn USD for next five years (2010-2015) on Capital expenditure.
Mr. R.K. Singh, Secretary (Defence Production), Ministry of Defence, Government of India today released a CII-Deloitte report on ‘Prospects for Global Defence Industry in Indian defence market’ at Eurosatory 2010 exhibition in Paris.
In this context, India has embarked on a major defence acquisition program, aimed at increasing the size, capability and self-reliance of its Defence Armed Forces.
Report also provides indicative list of acquisition plans. In Union Budget 2010-11, expenditure of about USD 32.03 billion has been earmarked for national defence. More than USD 42 billion in total defence expenditure is targeted by 2015, of which approximately USD 19.20 billion would be expected to be spent on capital equipment for the Defence Armed Forces.
Mr. Gurpal Singh, Deputy Director General CII stated that India is gradually becoming a key outsourcing hub for the global defence industry. The continuous revisions of the Defence Equipment procurement procedures in the recent past suggest the intent of the Indian Government to streamline the procedures and make the system more transparent and speedier.
Nidhi Goyal, Director - Aerospace and Defence in Deloitte on release of the report says that “India is considered as the next destination of manufacturing given country’s strength like wider supplier base, low cost manufacturing, persistent focus on infrastructure development, huge pool of skilled workforce and increased penchant for enhancing competitiveness by the respective domestic firms”.
India has established a notional target for 70 per cent of new acquisitions in the future to be sourced from indigenous production. Ms Nidhi Goyal says “to meet the target of 70% indigenization, local industry should achieve an average growth rate of 30% a year over the next five years”. She further says that the current offset contracts are still not sufficient for Indian industry growth and hopefully the target for offset contracts at USD 10 billion by 2011 will give further boost to the industry.
The sheer volume of planned expenditure is expected to create new opportunities for foreign firms, as total spending will grow in absolute terms. India is also host to a mature manufacturing sector, which means it will often be able to offer more cost-competitive terms for large platform builds.

The second installment for this year (2010) of Dearness Allowance (DA) is awaited with lots of expectations…
The main expectation among lakhs of Central Government Employees will be announcement of the next additional installment of Dearness Allowance (DA) for this year….
The reasons are many…
Employees getting only 3% annual increment for one year and those who are getting promotion, they are also getting only Grade Pay difference + 3% annual increment after waiting for several years. But nowadays employees are getting Dearness allowance percentage much than annual increment due to all commodities price increase.
Dearness Allowance is an essential component of salary, it is based on monthly All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (Base year 2001-100) announced by the Labour Bureau – Government of India from time to time. After 6th CPC only the Government directed that the Dearness Allowance has to be calculated based on AICPIN with the base year 2001-100.
We have clearly stated in our site that the Dearness Allowance (DA) from Jan-2010 to Jun-2010 should be 8% with appropriate proof. Some had doubt about this, but the Government accepted and the 8% Dearness Allowance (DA) was announced (19.03.2010) from Jan-2010.
As of now, the situation demands increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) from Jul-2010 to Dec-2010 should be 44% and it will confirmed only when the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPIN) for May and June to be published. But when the index value 170 decreases to 165 or low for the next two months, the Dearness Allowance (DA) will be 8%. If it increases from 170 to 173 and above, there is a chance that the Dearness Allowance (DA) shoots up to 10%. Till now, we can conclude that additional Dearness Allowance (DA) will be 9% because there is no relief in the prices of essential commodities. But the Government will be strictly monitoring the situation and control prices that the AICPIN (All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100) value doesn’t go up.
In the next year, when DA crosses 50%, all allowances will get a hike up to 25% as per the 6th CPC recommendations. This will bring some relief to the employees.
The Pensioners, State Government employees and who are all getting pay as per 5th CPC also looks forward eagerly waiting for the announcement of increase in Dearness Allowance (DA).
We have to wait for this announcement for almost two months
All India Consumer Price Index Number (AICPN) for the month of May 2010
All India Consumer Price Index Numbers For Industrial Workers On Base 2001=100 For The Month Of May, 2010
All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 for the month of May, 2010 increased by 2 points and stood at 172 (one hundred and seventy two).
At present calculation of Dearness Allowance stands at 43%. If AICPIN points will increase above 173 in next month, DA will increase additionally 10% (35% + 10% = 45%) from July, 2010. Please watch the table...
