The following suggestions may also be considered.

• Limit of funds for Sports board should be raised from 30 to 50% keeping view of the need of encouraging sports persons to hold all events in every year
• For GDS Health insurance and Pension is very much need for their family welfare.
• Death relief fund scheme can be introduced for both Departmental and GDS employees at central level instead circle which will help to give big relief for the deceased family members.
• Medical reimbursement for GDS Rs.20000/- is not sufficient and Rs.50,000 and can be extended up to Rs.5,00,000 (powers to the Circle heads) to save the GDS from financial troubles.
• Accidental insurance coverage should be given for all Departmental and GDS employees who are attending for the outdoor duties.
• Life insurance should be extended to all POSB/IPPB salary holders of DoP on par with the Nationalized Banks.
