Despite meager resources available, the Association had put up immense efforts in pursuing its goals and objectives and some notable achievements were:

1. Rigorous follow-up with GOI and CMPF authorities, resulting in getting an extension of time to opt for the pension scheme,(PS 1) benefiting many retired officers Who had not opted for the pension scheme earlier.
2. Sorting out successfully, the wrong payments by IDBI to pensioners during the period 2007-2009,
3. Regular follow-up with Singareni Management for introducing medical facilities to retired officers,
4. Many personal issues of the then-retired officers.

As the years passed, the need for the revival of the Association was felt by many retired colleagues. In the year 2015, Sri K R C Reddy, the then advisor of the Association had taken lead in modernizing the Association. On the initiative taken by a group of retired Singareni executives led by Sri K R C Reddy Garu, Sri P T Rao Garu, etc, a general body meeting of the Association was convened on 6^th September 2015, in the premises of “Singareni Officer Co-operative House Building Society”, Singareni Colony, Hyderabad.

A Website was also designed and launched on 26.01.2016 and later it has become instrumental in sharing information and regular Communication with the Retired executives of SCCL.
Please click here to view “What Is Where in the Website” Non-revision of pension under the Coal Mines Pension Scheme 1998 had been the major issue taken up by SROWA since its inception, apart from issues of the Contributory Post-Retirement Medical Scheme for Executives (CPRMSE) launched by SCCL in August 2013.

Since November 2015 issues of Executive Defined Contribution Pension Scheme (EDCPSCPS), and Performance Related Pay (PRP) concerning those executives who retired after 01.01.2007 are being taken up, apart from pension and medical issues.

The issue of EDCPS after a prolonged follow up was finally resolved and all the eligible retired executives are receiving their annuities since June 2021. SROWA had met several people’s representatives and submitted representations on pension issues. Representations were submitted to the Hon’ble minister of coal in Delhi in February 2018 and to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana in Srirampur in the same month. FEDERATION OF COAL INDUSTRY RETIRED EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION” (Regd no.MAH-91/14(Nagpur), after exhausting all the options of meeting and representing the coal minister and the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India apart from concerned government authorities finally knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court in January 2015.

Supreme Court, in turn, transferred the case to Delhi High Court towards the end of February 2015 and since then the W.P (C ) 3118/2015 is pending in Delhi High Court. SROWA got affiliated with the Federation in August 2016 and ever since contributing towards legal expenses as per the requirement from time to time.

Since November 2016 SROWA is striving relentlessly to resolve medical and other issues with the management of SCCL meeting C&MD, Directors, and other senior officials regularly. The membership drive was taken up in a big way by sending appeals along with Registration forms by post to all Retired Colleagues. After continuous and vivacious follow-up by SROWA So far 1107 members have taken up membership as of 01.01.2022 out of which 1046 are Life members.

Later “online registration” was also introduced on SROWA Website.
Please click here to view “HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER ONLINE” Since March 2020, Five Whatsapp groups were formed and more than 940 life members have become participants in these groups, so far. Retired executives including spouses of deceased executives immensely benefited from these WhatsApp Groups in obtaining clarifications and information about Retired Officers’ post-retirement issues.

“Special General Meeting” and “14^th Annual General Meeting” of SROWA were conducted on 26^th December 2021, in which the amended Bye-Laws of SROWA was unanimously approved by the General Body.
Please click here to view Amended BYE-LAWS. Ten Executive Committee members were elected by the General Body, who in turn elected six office bearers who along with the four executive committee members would be taking forward the activities of SROWA during the five-year term.

I am confident that the Website of SROWA: www.srowa.in and the WhatsApp groups of life members shall immensely help us to work together, communicate with each other and guide us to lead a happy and peaceful retired life.

Wishing you all the best,
Yours sincerely.
