Latest Guidelines for nomination in SCOVA
The Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies (SCOVA) is a forum for
holding consultation with the stakeholders, i.e., the pensioners through
their Associations and various Ministries/Departments of the Government
of India to get feedback on implementation of pension related policies,
to discuss and critically examine the policy initiatives and to
mobilise voluntary efforts to supplement the Government action.
A mechanism has been put in place for nomination of a Standing Group
comprising of 5 Associations and a Rotating Group comprising of 10
Associations through a Resolution issued from time to time. As per the
existing mechanism the Standing Group serves for 3 terms of 2 years each
or till the pleasure of the Chairman of SCOVA whichever is earlier and
Rotating Group serves for 1 term of 2 years and is eligible for
re-nomination for one more term. These Associations represent various
categories of Central Government pensioners from various Regions/States.
This was stated by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel,
Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime
Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by
Shri Mahendra Singh Mahra in the Rajya Sabha today.
