DO YOU THINK “OROP” IS NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK

NO!!! MONEY IS THERE; YOU WOULD SEE; ONLY IF YOU’RE UNIFORM TOP BRASS IS SLIGHTLY EDUCATED, PROFESSIONAL AND NOT CORRUPT.

The Virulently Mushrooming Large Number of Ex- Servicemen Organizations, headed by Failed Retired Generals, Admirals and Air Marshals have been dangerously harming the interest of the Defence Forces, more so the OROP; from last so many years. These Highly Politicized Star Officers are today found Flabbergasted, Dumbfound and with their Foot in the Mouth, with the FM statement, during Budget Speech, that OROP Allocation is in the Defence Budget itself. The latest Defence Budget, with the Increase of 10.95%, stands at 2.47 lakh crore, for financial year 2015-16. Now the entire False Facade and Malicious effort of Agitation, in Delhi at Jantar Mantar, especially during recent Delhi Election; Falls Flat, Face blackened, these Generals stands exposed for cheating everyone, all throughout; the fact that OROP, is required to be worked out from within the Defence Budget, was made very clear, to these Lobbyist, by the FM, much earlier.

The Defence Forces is required to judiciously handle their share of Defence money. How?

It cannot happen, that for approximately 35000-40000 Officers, Indian Army has created more than 80000 plus married accommodations in Military Stations / Cantonments, all over India, where as the Families of Officers concentrate their stay in Metro Stations only, with the result Officer Accommodations in places like Assam/ East and North, and some area’s in West remain unoccupied. Not to forget, large numbers of Officer are Bachelors; Now, Firstly, the Defence Budget has been wasted in these constructions and thereafter, continuously being drained in their recurring maintenance every day. Same is the case with JCO and Jawans accommodations; combine this with Navy and Air Force, imagine the colossal criminal waste of Nations Money.

Army, Navy and Air Force are in a habit of creating wasteful infrastructure, for no valid reason. JCO club, NCO club and now OR club, are few laughing examples. Huge CSD and marketing complexes in Stations, in spite of the fact that market outside, in civil areas is much better, cheaper, well stocked and has varieties. Every Establishment in the Station creates its own separate infrastructure. Blatantly, Institutions are created, which can be common, and can be easily shared; above all, the most pitiable and shocking, they create their own exclusive separate War Memorials.

CSD Depots and CSD is another Organization, within the Defence Forces which is not only nurturing large scale Corruption at all Levels, but also unnecessarily utilizes huge amount of the Defence money, thus blocking it from its legitimate use elsewhere. Not only that, Defence Forces illegitimately deploy large strength of Officers, JCOs and Soldiers, as sales, marketing and administrative staff. The CSD HQ “Adelphi” at Mumbai, to large net work of CSD Depots, spread all over India, has big strength of civilian employs, corrupt, useless and wasteful, eating away a big chunk of the Defence Budget.

Institution like Golf, Riding, Swimming and Various clubs etc, are being run with the Defence Budget money for Commercial Civilian use, with no benefit whatsoever to enhance the combat capability of the Serving Defence Personnel’s.

The Biggest, Largest and the most Severe Corruption and Huge wither away of Defence Budget is Disability Pension. It can be Very Well Understood and Appreciated that Soldiers getting Disabled due to Combat action/ Training, by all Account and Means, be given Disability Pension, “BUT” Certainly not to those, who are suffering from Hyper Tension on account of Alcoholism. Certainly not to those, who are ailing because of Life Style Lethargy. In the Defence Forces Officers, JCOs and Jawans are very Conveniently Manipulating Medical Categories, by conniving with Doctors, and therefore manage advantage of Large Percentage of Disability Allowances running into many Thousands every month.

“NCC” is another Organization, which is a Big Fertile Ground of Monetary and Professional Corruption by Officers, JCO and Jawans of the Defence Forces. Defence Force on the Slightest Pretext Cry of the Officers Shortage, in their Organization, and at the same time very Happily Part with Medically Fit Officer, JCO and Jawans to NCC. This is another Big Drain of the Defence Money.

The List is Very Long, here only few aspects have been mentioned, as there are Certain Mismanagement and Corruption, which cannot be made Public; which the Defence Forces should Rectify at the Earliest and Fastest, before it gets out of hand and into the Public Domain, as these Retired Generals, very soon, with all stupidity; will again come out to protest, in Public.

Defence Force, please Reduce your Tail, which is Presently very Long and Redundant, and make yourself Thoroughly Professional and into a Cutting Edge Force.

The OROP Money is in the Defence Budget Allocated for 2015-16. As regards Procurement of Defence Equipment, Kindly do not put your Non Financial Brain in it, The Government will take care of that Aspect/Issue, separately.
