The Annual conference of the Perambur Branch Retired  Government  Employees Association (TNRGEA) was held on Apri 14, 2012 at Periyar Matriculation School in PERIYAR NAGAR.   The Branch President Mr M Raghupathi presided over the conference. Mr R Santhanam Branch Secretary TNREGA presented annual report with activities of the association. 

Mr S Doraikannu General Secretary paid tributes to the secretary of the branch who is able to achieve remarkable strength with enrollment of new members in the Perambur branch  and also encouraged him in the years to come. 

He also appealed the chief minister Tamil Nadu, to increase the medical re-imbursement amount on par with the central government. As of now the centre re-imburses the staff upto Rs 300 000  whereas the state government permits only Rs 100 000/-   

He also pointed out that medical institutions charges a minimum of Rs 2.5 lakhs for a patient supposed to undergo cardiac surgery and the merge amount which is being disbursed by the state will lead to many practical difficulties felt by them. Mr N Rathinasubramanian State Treasurer insisted the government to enhance monthly medical allowance from Rs 100/- to 500/-  due to the prevailing rise in cost of medicines.

Mr A N Srinath Chennai District President also spoke.   Mr K Gangadharan state president in his key note address welcomed the RTE act by the centre preferably of the 25% reservation meant for the economically poor children and this has to be implemented in letter and spirit by our chief minister,  This will go a long way to maintain equal status among rich and poor without any difference in the educational institutions. 

Since the President and Vice-president of the Perambur branch tendered resignation new office bearers were elected unanimously. Mr P Ananda Rao Joint secretary of the branch proposed a vote of thanks.
