REC Limited, a Maharatna CPSU under the Ministry of Power and a leading NBFC, today commenced Swachhata Pakhwada 2025, a fortnight-long cleanliness and awareness campaign to be observed from 16th May to 31st May 2025, across its offices in the country. The initiative aligns with the Government of India's overarching objective to promote hygiene, sustainable practices, and public awareness across the nation.  The event began with a solemn Swachhata Pledge, administered by Jitendra Srivastava, IAS, CMD, REC Limited, to all employees. The CMD emphasized the importance of the Swachh Bharat Mission and highlighted India’s success in becoming Open Defecation Free (ODF). Drawing from national milestones, he inspired employees to continue championing cleanliness and environmental consciousness. CMD said, "Swachhata is not merely an act; it is a reflection of our values and our respect for community and nature. India's journey from open defecation to dignity through sanitation has been transformational. The success of Swachh Bharat Mission lies in the fact that it connected with people at the grassroot level and brought behavioural changes in people." The inaugural ceremony featured an impactful awareness session by Shri Ramveer Tanwar, popularly known as the Pondman of India, for his grassroots environmental activism. He sensitized employees about the nexus between cleanliness, water conservation, and public health.  Another motivating session was delivered by Jasmer Singh Chauhan, Sarpanch of Sultanpur Village, which won the Cleanest Village Award in Swachhata Survekshan Gramin 2023. His address shed light on community-level leadership and collective will.  A major highlight of the day was the unveiling of a “Waste to Art” installation – a CHARKHA, constructed entirely from 200 kg of recycled waste materials. The artwork, symbolizing self-reliance and sustainability, was unveiled by CMD along with senior officials. Further underscoring its commitment to the environment, REC conducted a Tree Plantation Drive led by the CMD, Directors, and CVO within the campus to promote biodiversity and ecological balance.  A Health Camp was also organized for REC's housekeeping staff, where routine health checkups were conducted. Additionally, a facilitation session was arranged in collaboration with banks to inform the staff about various government welfare schemes and financial inclusion initiatives. Simultaneously, REC’s Regional Offices undertook the restoration of Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs) to scale up decentralized cleanliness efforts.

War is trade first, peace later

The conspiracy of the gangs of traitors and deep state operators to target India, especially the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by engineering the Pahalgam incident has proved rather too costly for them. They have destroyed Donald Trump and hurt American interests for the rest of his term as POTUS. They have harmed Xi Jinping irreparably. They have ruined Erdogan terribly which they had not imagined. The sheer scale of damage to these people and interests of their countries is so much that they will take months to assess. It has benefited India as the people have seen the reality of foreign powers whose policy is that “War Is Trade”. Only Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s graph has risen further.

Priority list if multiple dependents are eligible for the compassionate appointment

The appellant sought for the certified true copy of the rules and guidelines governing the matters connected to the compassionate appointment in the MES. The appellant asked for the eligibility criteria for a person to be considered a "dependent" of the deceased employee of the MES. Further, the appellant sought to know if "multiple dependents" of the deceased employee of the MES are eligible for the compassionate appointment, how is the "priority” created for them? He sought for the priority list in "chronological order.” The CIC observed that no reply was given to the Appellant on his RTI application which shows mala fide intent of the PIO in obstructing the information under the RTI Act. The CIC directed the PIO to show-cause why maximum penalty should not be imposed on him for contravening the provisions of the RTI Act and for disregarding the CIC’s notice of hearing by not appearing before it.

Comments

The guidelines regarding deciding the order of preference of taking up cases of multiple dependents should be made available on the website of the organization.
