Points from General Secretary
Item No I. Current Issues. The General Secretary spoke on following issues.
(a) Amazon. General Secretary informed that Amazon has offered employment to veterans in Bengaluru. He wanted to know as to what should be the role of TSEWA in this.
Cmde Sudheer Parakala (Retd) suggested that this being a welfare measure, TSEWA should restrict itself to disseminate the information of employment by Amazon to veterans through bulk SMS. Thereafter it is entirely between Amazon and veterans.
The President informed that Brig SKS Rana, VSM (Retd) gave a proposal received from someone in Amazon on provision of employment to ESMs and widows of ESMs in Bengaluru to Col Srikantha Seshadri, President, TSEWA, Karnataka. Col Srikantha liaised with representatives of Amazon and also MEG & Centre, Bengaluru for the selection to various posts to ESMs and widows of ESMs like front end, back end, computer operators and office work etc. in Amazon in Bengaluru.
Col Srikantha gave detailed account of the help he rendered to the Amazon to select qualified veterans. Many ESMs would not have got employment but for Col Srikantha and we all must appreciate the self-less work done by him. MEG & Centre, Bengaluru was the location for selection process.
After lengthy discussion, it was decided that TSEWA should continue to provide assistance to Amazon in various locations to select suitable veterans for their jobs.
