can these defects be removed? Sometimes I feel that family
members of deceased employees should get a large amount at
the time of the death, so that its interest will be substantial, even
larger than what they would be getting as a government aid
after five or six years. The interest so earned can help the family
to feed its children, give them a good education and empower
them. All the members of employee unions should think about
innovative ideas to improve this scheme. A scheme which
provides relief after five-seven years of the father’s or husband’s
death hurts me. There should be immediate aid that can enable
the family to recover quickly. I hope that God will give us the
strength to take proper decisions. Members of employee unions
should also ponder over this important scheme which we cannot
afford to delay any longer.

All of us are a family and hence we have to share our joys
and sorrows. Emotions such as pity, respect and honour are
mutual. We are a five lakh strong family. If we can start seeing
others’ problems as our own and find joy in their happiness,
we can definitely achieve progress.
