INDIAN ARMED FORCES CHIEFS ON OUR RELENTLESS AND FOCUSED PUBLISHING EFFORTS
SP Guide Publications puts forth a well compiled articulation of issues, pursuits and accomplishments of the Indian Army, over the years
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
Essential Defence Services Bill
The Government introduced ‘The Essential Defence Services Bill, 2021’ in the Lok Sabha on July 22, which seeks to prohibit any agitation and strike by anyone engaged in the essential defence services. The Statement of Objects said the ordinance issued on June 30 defines the expressions “essential defence services” and “strike”. It also empowers the Central Government to prohibit strike in essential defence services and provides for disciplinary action including dismissal, against employees participating in any strike. It also provides for penalties for “illegal strikes, instigation thereof and providing for financial aid to such illegal strikes.” The Bill is aimed at preventing strikes and any disruptions in the working of Ordnance Factories during their conversion to one or more one hundred percent government-owned corporate entity or entities to be registered under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The aim of this conversion is to improve autonomy, accountability and efficiency in ordnance supplies. The recognised federations of the employees have given a notice for an indefinite strike. The conciliation proceedings initiated by the Government at the level of Chief Labour Commissioner, failed in the meeting held on June 15, 2021.
