Dear Maj Navdeep
One important part of any modern system is Excellent documentation standards.
The MOD has very poor documentation standards & is the cause of many wrong interpretations
May i suggest a simple solution which may be recommended to MOD if you find it relevant
Instead of renaming document every time for amendments t he document should be appended with version number & date
For e.g if there are any changes to Circular 555 dated 04 Feb 2016 on 07 Sep 2016, the changes should be made to the relevant paras to the document or added to the document & named as Circular 555 Ver 1.01 (if there are minor changes) Dated 07 Sep 2016 or Circular 555 Ver 1.10 dated 07 Sep 2016 (if there are major changes)
The original document format should never change & every one need to follow only the latest document & life will become easier for every one
This standard is followed in the IT world & makes life easy for every one

Any time frame given for submission of the ATRs?
Dear Sir ,
I have carefully studied the splendid report drafted by you in the pivotal role .I feel that you have presented all the facts and the suggestions with the novelist of thoughts and intentions , we the entire Fauji fraternity are indebted to you for your selfless and kind efforts to mitigate the tyranny of the civil raj inflicted by system including by our own brothers in uniform.Most of the relevant issues has been covered in your report , still there are numerous left out.
OK now the Mod acknowledges the issues. What are we doing to remove them ? Just issues a few circulars and remove them . Is it vet difficult? Can't have different yardstick for efficiency for Defence and it's Ministry.
My compliments to the committee and especially to Maj. Navdeep Singh for producing well-researched work. I found the report well-laid out alongwith specific recommendations, making it easy for the MoD. Frankly, I was not aware of many issues that have been taken up. It remains to be seen who calls the shots now- the RM or the bureaucracy.
If the recommendations are indeeed implemented, they will mitigate the miseries of innumerable veterans. Keeping fingers crossed and hoping for a positive outcome.
Thanking you all for taking time out from your regular work and producing this excellent report.
