‘Anubhav’ – showcasing outstanding work done during service 

The Department of Pension & Pensioner’s Welfare has launched an online software, ‘Anubhav’ for showcasing outstanding work by retiring employee and sharing experience of working with the Government. The software has been launched on the directions of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. It is envisaged that over a period of time, this will create a wealth of institutional memory with replicable ideas and suggestions. This tool in addition, gives opportunity to the retiring employee to invest his experience, skill and time for growth of social capital of the country. 

Workshops on ‘Anubhav’ have been organized during early last year for the Head of Offices/ Head of Departments of Ministries/ Departments and retiring employees to introduce the concept and the software application as well as to facilitate submission of write-ups by retiring employees. Ministries/ Department have been requested to conduct workshops on ‘Anubhav’ for their retiring employees to facilitate them to upload their write-ups. 

The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in his address to civil servants on Civil Service Day celebrations on 21st April 2015 desired that ‘Anubhav’ be nurtured and promoted as tool for creating a wealth of institutional memory. 

A format comprising of few questions that can be used to build up write-ups for ‘Anubhav’ has been circulated to all Ministries/ Departments for use by their retiring employees vide OM NO. 4/2/2014-P&PW (Coord) dated 19.10.2015. Another feature of uploading audio file has been added to the ‘Anubhav’ software. It provides facility to upload recorded voice message of 3 to 4 minutes (3MB) duration by the retiring employee. Instructions for use of this facility have been circulated to all Ministries/ Departments vide OM No. 4/2/2014-P&PW (Coord) dated 23.10.2015. It is hoped that with these new features the presentation on Anubhav would become more attractive.

Office Memorandum

Subject :- Revision of Pension of Pre-2006 Central Civil Pensioners and providing better service to pensioners.

Consequent upon the implementation of 6th CPC, revision of pensions of Pre-2006 pensioners were made suo-moto by banks as per ready reckoner provided by Deptt. of Pensions & Pensioners Welfare w.e.f. 01.01.2006. For regularizing these revisions and updating the records of Pension Sanctioning Authority, Pay & Accounts Office and Central Pension Accounting Office; Pension Payment Orders (SSA) were to be issued through proper channel i.e. Head of Office –> PAO –> CPAO –> Bank. But considerable number of pension cases are still pending for revision by Government for want of certain information like last pay drawn, scale of pay, qualifying service, date of birth, date of death, current pension account number, contact number etc. which are not readily available either with Pension Sanctioning Authority or with the Banks.

As the recommendations of the 7th CPC are due very shortly, it is imperative to settle all these pending cases before so that while implementing the recommendations of 7th CPC, pension may be revised expeditiously.

In this context, it is presumed that the Central Civil Pensioners’ Associations remain in touch with pensioners and they may facilitate in pursuing the pensioners to provide their latest addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail le while submitting their Life Certificates (Format of Life Certificate enclosed) to the bank in the month of November, 2015 so that the pensioners may be contacted to get the required information.

In view of the above, Secretaries of all Central Civil Pensioners’ Associations are requested to extend their support in making contact with pensioners and pursue them to provide the necessary information while submitting Life Certificates to enable us to serve them better.

Encl: As above
