Retired employees of Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society seek pension
Photo by S Parthiban SALEM: Retired employees of Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society have requested the state govt to grant them pension, like that provided to those who retire from the District Milk Producers' Cooperative Union and the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited. The dairy sector has three levels in the state: the Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society, the District Milk Producers Cooperative Union and the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited. Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society employees play vital roles, including sourcing high-quality milk and supplying it to the district unions. However, they do not receive any retirement benefits. They have requested the govt to provide them pension at least on compassionate grounds. They have sought inclusion in the medical insurance scheme. They have also sought provision of 500 ml of free milk every day and sweets and ghee during festive times. At present, around 2,000 retired employees are waiting for their pension. "The central government's EPF (employees' provident fund) scheme was initiated in September 1995 to offer pensions to retired employees of these three organizations who have served in the same capacity," Tamil Nadu Primary Milk Cooperative Society Retired Employees' Association president P Ramakrishnan told TOI. He noted that less than 50% of the primary milk producers cooperative societies in the state have enrolled in this scheme. Furthermore, those who have registered under this initiative receive pensions that range from Rs1,000 to Rs 2,374 monthly. Ramakrishnan urged chief minister M K Stalin to establish a fund to assist the retired employees of the Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society. A Annadurai, the managing director of the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Limited, has indicated that there is currently no dedicated fund for providing pensions to retired employees of the Primary Milk Producers Cooperative Society. He mentioned that the special bylaws of the association do not include any provisions for pensions. "Nonetheless, it has been communicated that in the future, as employees of the association express their willingness to contribute to a pension fund, the feasibility of offering pensions based on the accumulated funds and interest will be evaluated," he said.

Karnataka govts study abroad scheme attracts over 5,000 aspirants
Bengaluru, Aug 16 (PTI) Over 5,000 students have already registered for the government's ambitious 'study abroad" initiative through the Karnataka Vocational Training and Skill Development Corporation (KVTSDC), the Department of Skill Development said on Saturday. Encouraging more participation, the department announced that students can still enroll by attending the day-long 'Study Abroad Expo" at Hotel Lalit Ashok on August 17. Over 60 international universities offering attractive academic opportunities for Karnataka students have already camped at the venue, officials said. To ease financial concerns, several public and private banks have set up stalls offering education loans at competitive interest rates, an official release said. Public undertaking Karnataka bank has assured the government of the most student-friendly financial packages. 'Studying abroad is no longer a privilege reserved for the wealthy. With our government's initiative, even students from economically weaker backgrounds can now pursue higher education overseas without financial burden. This is the first-of-its-kind initiative in India making global education accessible to all sections of society," said Karnataka Minister for Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood Sharanaprakash Patil. Unlike private programmes that stops support once students leave India, the government-backed scheme guarantees continued assistance abroad-covering welfare, academic progress, and legal aid, the release said. The expo also ensures transparency, offering free guidance from university selection to post-departure support, without agency fees, it added.
