UPDATE ON DESA ACTIVITIES

Naval Regimental System (NRS) Back to Index

1. The Naval Regimental System (NRS) has been functional since Dec 2010 to

provide support to spouse/ NoK/ dependents after the demise of naval personnel

irrespective of the time of the incident i.e. whether it occurred whilst in harness or after

retirement. NRS has now emerged as a platform where issues pertaining to

widows/NOK are being dealt with in a speedy manner. A Command Regimental

System Officer (CRSO) has been appointed at each Command Headquarters. To

cover the areas that are not in immediate vicinity of Command Headquarters,

additional officers have been appointed as CRSOs. Details of CRSOs as per the

geographical responsibility are given below:-

Veteran Sailors’ Forum Back to Index

8. Meetings. The AGM of VSF is scheduled at Goa on 15 Oct 17. Agenda Points/

issues which need attention of the AGM/ GBM have been received and are being

collated.

9. The dates of Annual General Body Meetings of various Charters for the year

2017-18 are as follows:-

Ser Charter Dates

(a) Delhi Scheduled on 26 Nov 17.

(b) Mumbai 04 Jun17.

(c) Vizag 16 Jul 17.

(d) Kochi Scheduled on 29 Oct 17.

10. Memorandum of Association. During the last AGM of the VSF, amendments

to the rules of the Memorandum of Association were approved. The same have been

ratified by the Registrar of Society, New Delhi. Amended copy of the MoA has been

uploaded on the DESA website for information to all.

11. Policy on Membership – Navy Foundation and Veteran Sailors’ Forum. A

vast range of issues are projected by veterans for necessary resolution through liaison

with concerned agencies like MoD, Service HQs, NAVPEN etc. Navy Foundation and

Veteran Sailors’ Forum serve as channels to project these issues to DESA and

disseminate feedback/ important information to the veterans in lieu, on a regular basis.

These organisations, therefore, serve as vital links between the retired fraternity and

the Navy.

12. Presently, membership to these organisations is on voluntary basis and one

time membership fee is levied from the ESMs. While it is advisable for veterans to

obtain membership of Navy Foundation/ Veteran Sailors’ Forum on a voluntary basis, it

has been observed that very few retiring naval personnel opt for it, thereby remaining

isolated from the Service and losing out on an effective channel of communication.

Therefore, this issue was reviewed and the following has been decided:-

(a) The membership fee of all naval personnel retiring wef 01 Oct 17 who opt

for membership to NF/ VSF would be funded through INBA.

(b) All naval personnel who retired prior to 01 Oct 17 would however, have to

pay the membership fee directly to the Charter they join.



7

13. NF/VSF Membership forms will be provided along with other retiring forms by

NAVPEN to retiring sailors and by DOP to the retiring officers. Retiring personnel would

have to fill up the application form and indicate the preference for Charter.

Sahara Hostel for Widows Back to Index

three Services. Two of these Job Fairs are conducted by Army, and one each by Navy

participate in job fairs. This would be a huge opportunity for ESMs to identify suitable

jobs as per their experience and aspirations. The next Job Fair by Navy is scheduled to

be held on 20 Feb 18 at Kochi.

16. New INPA Website. INPA is developing a new website that would be

operational by Oct 17. The website is being designed to encourage direct interaction

between job seekers and prospective employers. It also has various informative

articles and videos to help veterans prepare for their second career. All existing INPA
