How to make your computer workstation better for your health


Have you had a stiff neck or a back-ache after a day of work? Have you had trouble with your wrist or elbow? Have you had to take days off work because of these problems? Remember, you might be facing these difficulties because of the way you position yourself while working.
You can't really work without computers these days. In fact, most of us have to use the computer all day long. While they make things easier and quicker, they can sometimes tire us out. Prolonged computer use in the long run also poses certain threats. Understanding all this requires knowledge of office ergonomics and implementation of ergonomic solutions. 
Ergonomics isn't a very new field of study. The effects of work and working environments on the body have been a subject of research for long. However, with the increase in the use of computers at the workplace, office ergonomics is emerging as a topic for frequent discourse, and for good reason, too.

PLI/RPLI monthly premium will now be paid automatically from SB A/c.

Copy of PLI Directorate letter No. 29-08/2009-LI (Pt)          dated 25.10.2012 

To,
All Heads of Circles
Addl. DG (APS)

Sub: Introduction of facility of automatic credit of PLI/ RPLI monthly premium from savings account of insured persons.

     In the last few years, there has been massive expansion of Postal Life Insurance (PLI) and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI). However, it has been noticed that a number of policies particularly in RPLI lapse after a while. One of the reasons for lapsation is absence of convenient ways of depositing premia of the policy(ies). As such, it was under consideration of the Department to provide facility of automatic deduction of premia from Savings Account so that (i) the policy holder(s) need not have to visit Post Office every month for depositing premia of his PLI/ RPLI policy and (ii) lapsation of PLI/ RPLI policies gets reduced.

2. The competent authority has now approved the proposal for providing the facility to the policy holder of PLI and RPLI to get premium deposited/ credited by deduction of the same directly from his Savings Account standing in Post Offices. However, this facility can be opted by only those policy holders of PLI and RPLI whose Savings Accounts are maintained in the Departmental Post Offices (GPOs, HOs, MDGs or SOs).

3. It is requested to kindly take necessary action for implementation of aforesaid scheme and wide publicity may also be given for this scheme through various publicity channels.

4. Accounting and operating procedure for automatic transfer of premium of PLI/ RPLI from Savings Accounts of the policy holder is enclosed for information and action accordingly.

5. It is further informed that till the provisions are made in the software, automatic credit of PLI/ RPLI monthly premium by deduction from savings account of the policy holder will have to be done manually.

AAdhar Card and Bank account must for subsidised Cylinder from next year onwards


Setting the stage for a major reform in the subsidy system in the country, a government-constituted task force has recommended transfer of cash directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries of subsidised LPG, kerosene and fertiliser to curb pilferage and leakage


The customers’ aadhaar enabled bank account  details will be used to transfer the subsidy. The customers will buy all cylinders at market price while the government will fix the subsidy per cylinder. 
The OMCs will sell LPG at the market price and the subsidy amount will be directly transferred from the government to the customers in the subsequent phases. The Task Force recommended direct transfer of subsidy through state governments or Union territory administrations and finally to the beneficiary in three different phases.
