ECHS FACILITIES FOR THE FAMILIES OF DSC PERSONNEL

ECHS FACILITIES FOR THE FAMILIES OF DSC PERSONNEL (DRAWING DEFENCE PENSION.) LIVING SEPARATELY.

A large number of PBOR especially from the Army (Sepoy to Hav) join the Defence Security Corps. Most of them are drawing defence pension, married and having school going children. During their service in the DSC, their families live a separated life. Because of the size of their family, education of their children etc., etc., their families are forced to live separately.

2. The medical facilities available to the service DSC personnel cannot be availed by their families because of this separated life in far away places. These serving DSC personnel, besides being defence pensioners, their families are not in a position to join ECHS facilities.

3. In view of the above, it is requested that the families of these DSC personnel may be classified as Separated families and allowed to avail ECHS facilities as a Special case. Will the MOD and ECHS authorities look into the matter and consider this request ?
