Continuing membership drive at reduced rates By Hony Lt K Pandey

Dear and Respected Gen Kadyan sir,

This email has reference to and is in continuation with emails from Col Rajan, Brig Kamboj and other senior veterans.

I have always and from the very beginning one of the strongest advocates of the reduced membership fees. In a span of about three weeks I too have been able to motivate more than a hundred (and counting) veterans to sign up for the membership. I have been able to organize meetings, delegate people, distribute forms and receive an unprecedented response. Solely because of the fact that the membership fees is affordable to all now.

Lets think from the perspective from a retired NCO who gets a mere 3-5 thousand rupees monthly pension. He/she CANNOT be sure of what he will or will not get for becoming a member. Why will he pay Rs 100/- for something he does not know or does not believe in? What's the point?

On the other hand, Rs. 10 is a small amount for even him and if he sees even a glimpse of hope he will readily pay that money then and there.

I also agree with other senior veterans who have very thoughtfully suggested that raising money for our mission and essential operations should be taken up as a separate activity.

Thus I very very strongly recommend continuing the reduced membership fees so that we reach huge numbers and thus become a force to reckon with for the government.

Thank you for your time.

Yours truly,

Kameshwar
