World Food Day October 16

World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world on 16 October in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. The day is celebrated widely by many other organisation concerned with food security, including the World Food Programme.

World Food Day (WFD) was established by FAO's Member Countries at the Organization's 20th General Conference in November 1945. The Hungarian Delegation, led by the former Hungarian Minister of Agriculture and Food, Dr. Pál Romány has played an active role at the 20th Session of the FAO Conference and suggested the idea of celebrating the WFD worldwide. It has since been observed every year in more than 150 countries, raising awareness of the issues behind poverty and hunger.

Employee is not entitled to regular pension till the departmental and judicial proceedings against him are concluded-CAT

New Delhi, October 01, 2012(PTI): The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has dismissed a former Indian Telecommunication Services (ITS) officer’s plea for a hike in his pension, saying he is not entitled to it till the departmental and judicial proceedings against him are concluded.

A bench of CAT Chairman Syed Rafat Alam and member Ramesh Chandra Panda gave the order on a plea by ITS officer R P S Panwar against whom six disciplinary proceedings and one criminal case is pending.

Panwar had contented his current pension of Rs 23,913 should be hiked to Rs 38,772 as per the Sixth Central Pay Commission’s recommendations  as the disciplinary proceedings and criminal case  pending against him have been stayed by the concerned judicial authorities.

The CAT, however, dismissed his plea saying “We are of the considered view that the applicant is not entitled to get his provisional pension revised as per the sixth CPC until the departmental and judicial proceedings pending against him are finally decided,”

Panwar, in his application, had told the Tribunal that he was placed under temporary suspension from September 2003 and was allowed to retire on reaching the age of retirement in April 2006.

He had contented that he is entitled to a higher pension as he had retired after the recommendations of the sixth pay commission had come into effect from January 1, 2006.

The counsel for the Department of Telecommunications had argued that Panwar should not be given any relief as he is facing “serious” charges of amassing disproportionate assets.

Agreeing with the DoT’s argument, the Tribunal ruled that he was not entitled to arrears of leave encashment and other dues till the matters pending against him are resolved.
