The loan could be repaid from future donations or savings. The President directed that the Committee may examine various proposals and finalise at the earliest before the real estate prices go up.

Item No. VI. Office Expenditure: General Secretary informed that TSEWA has reduced its office expenditure from Rs 1.25 lacs to Rs 75000/. after the resignation of the previous accountant and the load shared by Sreenivasa Reddy and Anand.

Item No. IX.

President Brig CS Vidyasagar had advised such ESM to approach AFTs once they are functional, as TSEWA cannot file the case on their behalf.

Item No. X. Pitiable case of a Quadriplegic ESM Sep Sathya Narayan Raju: President explained the horrible conditions of quadriplegic patients bedridden for life and could not stop his tears in emotion. He informed that Brig PT Gangadharan, who himself is a Quadriplegic patient, has brought out a case of an ESM whose daughter is not able to pay the college fees due to the pitiable condition of the family and requested the TSEWA Charity Division to consider the case sympathetically as and when they receive the details from Veteran Brig PT Gangadharan. Further, he assured that TSEWA shall put in its best to get the Special Family Pension entitled to the family.

Item No. XI: Temporary TSEWA Office Building: Hony Capt B Joseph has offered the first floor of his house for the office till TSEWA shifts to New Office Building being purchased, so that TSEWA can save on some rent for the building. Further he suggested that the proposed new building should be nearer to the area where maximum ESM are settled. However considering the proximity to the bank, a ground floor house has already been finalized and that the office would be shifted by 01 Mar 2021.
