Homage to Dr. Baldev Raj (April 9, 1947 –

Jan 6, 2018): Dr. Baldev Raj, Director,

National Institute of

Advanced Studies (NIAS),

Bengaluru and formerly

Distinguished Scientist &

Director, Indira Gandhi Centre of Atomic Research

(IGCAR), passed away in Pune on 6th

January 2018.

AERWA News Letter 2018 2 Vol. 19(2) March - April 2018

Born on April 9, 1947 in Jammu and Kashmir, Dr.

Baldev Raj joined DAE through the 13th

batch of

BARC Training School, after obtaining his BE

degree from Ravishankar University with Gold

medal and obtained his Ph. D. degree from Indian

Institute of Science. He served the Department of

Atomic Energy for 42 years in various capacities

and was the Director of IGCAR between 2004 and

2011. He made outstanding contributions to

India’s fast reactor programme. The spectrum of

R&D programmes he presided over included

science and technology of materials,

manufacturing technologies and non-destructive

evaluation (NDE). His group made outstanding

contributions to the development of NDE

techniques and Dr. Baldev Raj was an international

leader in this domain. He provided NDE solutions

to a variety of critical issues related to inspection

of nuclear components, as well as problems in the

strategic & security sectors and also helped in

obtaining insights into many domains of culture

and heritage such as evaluation of the health of

old structures and monuments.

As the Director of IGCAR, Dr. Baldev Raj steered a

multidisciplinary programme of Science

&Technology, and catapulted IGCAR into the

international arena as an acknowledged leader in

fast reactors and associated fuel cycle. His ability

to build teams, spot talent and establish &

nurture collaborations gave an impetus to the

fast reactor programme. He was the natural

choice for leading multidisciplinary teams across

units of DAE, and also other educational and

research institutions. His leadership qualities

came to the fore during his handling of the

rehabilitation programmes at Kalpakkam

following the unprecedented natural calamity –

tsunami in 2004.

After his retirement from DAE, Dr. Baldev Raj

joined PSG institutions, Coimbatore, as President-

Research. He took charge as Director of NIAS in

2014 and presided over the expansion of the

institute in terms of faculty strength and research

grants. He led the Institute to new heights in

terms of multi-disciplinary pursuits. He worked

closely with the NITI Aayog to develop science

action plans, advised the Department of Science

and Technology on clean energy, and was

consultant for the extraction of rare-earth

metals. In 2017, Dr. Baldev Raj was appointed

chairperson of the board of governors of the

Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research

for a period of five years.

Dr. Baldev Raj authored around 1,000 academic

papers in peer-reviewed journals and over 70

books. He was conferred over 100 awards in

more than 30 countries. He was the only Indian

to be the president of the international

committee on non-destructive testing and

president of the International Institute of

Welding. A recipient of the Padma Shri award,

he was honoured with Homi Bhabha Gold Medal,

H.K. Firodia Award, Om Prakash Bhasin Award,

National Metallurgist Award, Lifetime

Achievement Award of Indian Nuclear Society,

Distinguished Material Scientist Award,

Distinguished Alumni of Indian Institute of

Science, and honorary fellowship of many

scientific, engineering and professional bodies.

He remained a source of inspiration to all who

knew him, through his hard work, ability to build

teams and commitment to excellence and

perfection. His intensity of engagement and his

readiness to subject himself to tight schedules

were truly amazing. His passing away is a great

loss to our country, and especially to the S & T

community. P. R. Vasudeva Rao

2. AERWAAERWAAERWAAERWA MC Members attend DP&PW

workshop: A team of AERWA Managing

Committee members, comprising Dr.

Manchanda, Dr. Misra, Shri Balakrishnan, Shri

Vaze, Dr(mrs) Sagar, Dr Chourasiya, Shri Gururaj,

Shri Belhe, Shri RamSarup and Shri Kapoor

attended the DPPW Workshop on PENSIONERS’

AWARENESS on PENSIONERS’ PORTAL at Textile

Committee auditorium, Prabhadevi on 15th Jan.,

2018. The Workshop was addressed by the

authorities of DPPW viz. Shri Sanjiv Narain

Mathur Jt Secy (Pension), Ms Seema Gupta

Director (PW), Shri Harjit Singh (Director),

representatives of banks and CGHS. Three

associations (including AERWA) made

presentations about their activities. There was

also a presentation on the 7th CPC by Shri Harjit

Singh. A special session on CPENGRAMS followed

by an open session was also organized wherein a

large number of queries regarding the issues

related to the fixation of the pension,

disbursement by banks as well as those related

to CGHS were addressed. AERWA members raised

issues related to delay in the revision of Pension

under 7th CPC incorporating 2 increments and

submitted a representation on this issue to the

concerned officer.

Some important points of information:

a) It was pointed out by AERWA that few banks /

branches are insisting for biometric certificate

which is causing hardship to many pensioners

whose thumb/finger impressions do not match.

DPPW authorities clarified that it is not

mandatory to submit ADHAR based biometric

Life certificate to the banks. It is sufficient to fill

up the form and attach ADHAR documents. Also,

banks have been asked to procure IRIS biometric

monitors where the probability of mismatch

is very less;

b) Grievances lodged on CPENGRAMS are

addressed within 60 days. In special cases

matters are resolved in Pension ADALAT

Some additional information about various

DOPPW circulars, as summarised from the

Information brochure distributed in the

workshop, is as follows:

1. A spouse holding Joint Account with pensioner

can be paid Family Pension simply by

submission of Death Certificate of Pensioner.

Submission of Form 14 is not required. (O.M.

No.1/27/2011-DOP&PW (E)dt. 20/09/2013).

2. Family Pension allowed to a disabled child

even after his/her Marriage.

[O.M.No.1/33/2012-P&PW(E), dt. 16/01/2013].

3. Disabled children, dependent parents and

disabled siblings co-authorised in the Pension

Payment Order (PPO) during the life time of

Government servant/ pensioner which will

enable disbursement of family pension to this

category with no further authorization

required. (O.M. No.1/27/2011-DOP& PW (E)

dated 01/07/2013]

4. Request for change of bank branch is now

accepted at either of the two branches i.e., the

existing branch as well as the new one. Request

is not required to be routed through CPAO.

Change of branch is to be indicated in the revised

PPO.

5. Pension grievance must be redressed at the

pension paying branch. Paying branch cannot ask

pensioners to approach the Central Pension

Processing Centre (CPPC) for redressal.

6. Grievances lodged on CPENGRAMS are

addressed within 60 days. In special cases

matters are resolved in Pension ADALAT.

7. Life Certificate and other Certificates are now

accepted at any branch of the concerned bank

anywhere in India. (For 4, 5 and 6 above, O.M.

Developments in 7 CPC revision of pension:

1. 7th

CPC revision of pension has been almost

completed in all the DAE Units except BARC and

DAE (NPCIL pensioners) where about 40 % cases

are yet to be revised. Most of such cases were of

D to G grade pensioners, H+ grade pensioners

and expired pensioners. (The current status of

pension revision by CPAO can be seen in

pensioners’ portal of DAE website.)

3. 7 CPC revision of pension of pre-2010 H+

grade pensioners is also being revised as per

recent DAE OM dt 2.1.2018, without taking in to

account Rs 2000 or Rs 4000 special pay (which

these pensioners were getting) for pension

purpose, mentioning that the matter is subjudice

as many cases are in Supreme Court. Post 2010

H+ pensioners pension were already revised

without taking in to account special pay of Rs

4000, as per DAE OM dt 26.7.2010.

Welcome to Platinum Club (≥75 yrs): AERWA

welcomes members attaining 75yrs of age to

our prestigious Platinum Club. They will also

receive AERWA Platinum Club Certificate

shortly. (Congratulations for getting Full Pension)

Few tips on diet for senior citizens: Add plenty of natural colour to your diet.

Two to three meals of seasonal fruits will

work as antioxidants and prevent

constipation.

Egg whites are a good source of protein

important for repair of worn out cells and

tissues. For vegetarians, paneer made from

low-fat milk is good substitute.

Use of mustard oil or olive oil is a good

cooking medium as both prevent high

cholesterol and improve good cholesterol in

the blood.

Vegetables soups without cream and

thickening agents are a healthy meal to be

taken as a supper.

AERWA News Letter 2018 10 Vol. 19(2) March - April 2018

Always leave your home with a small

healthy snack in your bag, to avoid eating

out.

Potassium-rich foods like cumin seeds

(zeera), sweet limes, fenugreek seeds

(methi) and coconut water are good for

muscular flexibility, prevent water retention

and swellings. They also contribute to

maintain blood pressure.

For a high dose of nutrition, add curd to the

dough for rotis to improve the biological

value of the cereal, and to keep them soft.

Drink about 15 glasses of water in a day to

prevent dehydration. In old age, muscle

density reduces and susceptibility to

dehydration is always very high, especially

in summer.

AERWA had taken up a drive to collect spect

frames by last year. About 250 frames were

collected and were given away to Laxmi

Charitable Trust for distribution to the needy

persons in their camps. AERWA takes this

opportunity to thank all who donated the

frames and once again appeals to the members

to donate generously with ideas as well as

donations towards Societal Activity of AERWA to

sustain such programmes. This activity was

further followed up by organizing an eye camp

the report of which is given on the following

page.

Man Ed

Did you know that falls are the leading cause

of serious injuries among senior citizens?

The two categories of factors that contribute to

the falls are:

Personal factors: These include muscle

weakness, balance problems, limited vision and

certain medications.

Environmental factors: These include home

hazards such as loose rugs, poor lighting,

slippery tiles in bathroom/washrooms and grab

bars in the bathroom

Rising slowly after eating, sitting or lying down

can help avoid dizziness and loss of balance.

Get an eye exam at least once a year. You may

be wearing the wrong glasses or have a

condition that limits your vision.

Prevention safety:

Prevent unnecessary falls and improve your

safety by making yourself aware of the

environmental hazards.

Install secure handrails and bright lights with

switches at the top and bottom of stairways.

Repair loose or uneven steps, checking stairs

for worn or loose carpeting and installing anti-

slip treads.

Install grab bars for the toilet, bathtub and/or

shower, and using non-slip mats or decals on

ceramic surfaces both inside and outside the

tub.

Install nightlights in areas you frequent at

night. Also, consider keeping a flashlight near

your bed.

Store frequently used items on lower shelves

in the kitchen to limit the use of stools or step-

ladders. If you must use a step stool, use one

with a bar to hold onto.

Glimpses of Annual Picnic

AERWA News Letter 2018 11 Vol. 19(2) March - April 2018

(Continued from page 2)

A guided tour was also arranged to take the

picnickers around Herb/Veg Farm and Gaushala.

Live demonstration of Gobar gas plant and drip

irrigation was an extremely educative

experience. Keshav Srushti achieved its unique

space in Guinness World Record by organizing a

‘Solar Oven Cooking Class’ during January 2014,

which had 3639 participants and was the largest

of the time. It also has dense lush greenery, flora

and faunas and rare herbal, botanical

plantations.

The high point of this place is a Cyanofarm

research centre, engaged in the development of

cyan colored algae, SPIRULINA, which stands first

among all nutritional algae due to its highest

proteins, vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants

and a host of other nutrients.

It was quite educative to visit the laboratory

where the temperature, light and aerobic

conditions are optimised to improve the yield

and purity of spirulina. Spirulina is a superfood

for those who need extra dose of nutrients. It,

however, is to be avoided by those on low

protein diet or with high creatinine like kidney

patients on dialysis and those with thyroid

disorders. Global Vipassana Pagoda, a grand

structure with 93 metres diameter dome (world’s

largest stone built dome without any supporting

columns was visited after the sumptuous lunch. It

was built by Satyendranath Goenka with the aim

to spread the teachings of Gautam Buddha and

was inaugurated in Feb. 2009 by the then

President Mrs Pratibha Patil. The Pagoda aims at

preserving the ancient practice of Vipassana. The

structure is an exact replica of the Shwedgon

Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. Guide was

arranged to take the picnickers around. Evening

tea was enjoyed in Pagoda.

3. AERWA Arranges an Eye Camp at Nutan

Vidya Mandir, Mankhurd: AERWA organized an

eye camp to test the eyesight of students of

Nutan Vidya Mandir, Mankhurd on Tuesday, 19th

Dec., 2017 with support from Laxmi Eye

Charitable Trust, Panvel. Optometrists Ms

Swapnali and Ms Geeta attended the camp

alongwith Mr Vinod Pachghare. The AERWA team

comprised of S/Shri Belhe, Vaze, Barve, T. K. Rao,

Anand, Jacob Kurien, Dr Misra and Dr

Manchanda.

One hundred and sixty six students were

screened by optometrists of whom 29 were listed

for glasses and 15 for other deformities.

Subsequently, the glasses were made by a Pune

company for AERWA, which were distributed to

the 29 students on Saturday, 20th

Jan, 2018. As

the students with deformities (defects and

abnormalities) need surgery, it requires the

consent of parents and estimates from

Ophthalmologists for the treatment.
