EX-PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE..
My Dearest Gnatijan—Jai Jinendra!!!
Let me offer you a warm welcome on this First edition of electronic information on KDO Welfare Association’s activity of “KDO Social Security Scheme”.( A unique scheme in all ways!!)
My First & Foremost message to all the readers on this page is that “KDO Social Security Scheme” is purely an international level of scheme & open to all the members of our Gnati , irrespective of any location or country.
The Association is an independent Body & Not attached/affiliated to any Ekkam or Mahajan. This scheme is managed by set of people across the country, having “high flair for community service” & it is a national level association for all our Gnati members to participate. (Only once for a person in Life time!!).
Though the scheme has already crossed well above 2 decades of its existence & has seen many rises & downfalls (in terms of numbers of newly Registered members & also uneven death data over the years), which are readily observed in various charts presented in “Fact sheets”, we need to bring to the notice of common Gnatijan, that in Last 4 1/2yrs, we have added nearly 2,600 new members in the scheme (spread across the country). A great achievement by all means, considering that during the previous 4 years-48 months (April-04 to March-08), this figure was just 382. (New Registered), which derives an average of less than 100 nos per year. Some figures worth note are
A) Year 2008-09 Members on roll…………….....4,909 (as on 1st April-2008)
New joined during 4 years (till 31-03-2012) 2,490
Retd (Having completed 55 yrs of age)……..….. 650
Expired before 55 age & benefit Amnt given to 52
B) Current Year 2012-13
New joined during the Half year……………………… .100……(upto 30th Sept-2012)
Retd (Having completed 55 yrs of age)………....... ...81
Expired before 55 age & benefit Amnt given to 12 (all)
Hence as on 1st Oct. 2012, the present figure on roll is Appr. 6,700.This is showing an increase of nearly 36% over 4 1/2yrs period.
Almost every year no of death of all age group is ranging between 260 to 280 Gnatijans & out of this, in this age group of 1 yr to 55 yr is nearly 50-52 nos every year. However only around 25-30% get the benefit amount, rest remains outside the preview of this Noble scheme. (As they have not joined this Scheme.)
You all can imagine the plight of all such bereaved families!.
The Total scheme members expired in last 22 years has reached 249 (till Sept-2012) & a handsome of Total benefit amount of Rs 1.31 Cr. has been paid. This is simply unbelievable!!!
A true case of Sadharmik Bhakti under all considerations !!!!!!!!
Membership benefit & other criteria are mentioned on this electronic media, please take advantage of it & be a active part of this “Sadharmik Bhakti”.
We have also initiated a new step in provision of “view Box” for any KDO Gnatijan to find out about his/her (as well any of KDO) membership details (preferably Native Place vise). This shall surely help to increase new members, particularly young age group/generation & also shall help in avoiding Duplication entries (Particularly for Ladies, before & after the Marriage.)
Should you have any doubt, please feel free to contact us thro the website on contact page.
We shall get back to you within 2 business days.
With kind regards
