Deshwal saheb, you might have taken my views in a critical manner but this is out of seer frustation. Nobody speaks for speachless. I doubt you have served as Seaman. If it is true, then I doubt your views. If anybody will answer this without bias:-
1) Why no committee has been constituted at ministry level for reviewing career prospects of PBOR's , as was done in case of Officers?
2) What is the reason behind stagnation of PBOR's career whereas Officers are being promoted so fast?
3) Why there should not be guaranted promotion of PBOR's as Officers have?
4) Why PBOR's can not be provided 100% married accomodation, non availbility of this is affecting their family life and next generation due change in Indian social system (Joint families are breaking) ?
5) Why there should not be an independent and autonomous body free from officers influece which can study service conditions of PBOR's and put its recommendations directly to ministry?
6) What are the reasons PBOR's pay and allowances are decreasing proportionatly if compared with officers, after bevery Pay Commission report?
7) Why PBOR's are sponsored for higher educational/ technical qualification during service, as officers are done?
8) Why PBOR's can not be given monetary benefits on acquqring higher qualification, as officers are given?
9) Had any independent study ever carried out of effects on PBOR's social, moral, financial and psychological condition when they are forced to retire between age of 35 -42 ?
10) Had anybody ever thought of implications that a soldier who opted for He-man carrier, thrown out of service to stand at the gates of showrooms, shops, factories, banks and restaurants?
11) Once officers are given study leave for pursueing M Tech or other higher but why PBOR's can not be provided same facilities to pursue B Tech, M tech or MBA?
12) Is after retirent job of PBOR's lies in piggery, coockry, sentry, waiter or safaiwala, as is evident from list of resetelment courses?
13) Do you think crowed at recruitment centers is indication of popularity of military service? This is outcome of rampant unemployment in rural youth ( 98% of PBOR's comes from rural india).
14) Had any officer or any chief of service ever said that conditions of service recquire improvement in case of PBOR's whereas you can hear frequently need of improvement in service condition of officers?
Thre are many issues relating to PBOR's but nobody think worth discussing them. Is it fair to wrapup and hide this real and burnig issue under the garb of PATRIOTISM. No, Deshwal saheb and Gulia saheb. I will not agree with you. Do you think a soldier"s next generation goes uneducated, he redered unemployed at prime age when his social responsibilities are at peak? Please, please don't bury this issue under your ego. Please try to look at other side of coin. These institutions can not survive for long if 85 - 90 % of its members are unsatisfied lot. Healthy, impartial, unbiased and above board thinking and discussion is need of hour.
