High-Level Commission Prioritizes Pensioner Welfare
In a significant move to address the welfare of national and cultural sector retirees, a high-level commission in Isfahan province has concluded a pivotal meeting, marking a concrete step in the government’s ongoing social support initiatives. The session, which included the Managing Director of the National Pension Fund and representatives from key industrial and labor bodies, focused squarely on implementing comprehensive support measures.
Wage Harmonization and Healthcare at the Forefront
Ayoub Darvishi, the Political and Social Deputy of Isfahan’s Governor, detailed the meeting’s agenda, highlighting that the integration of the Mobarakeh Steel Company pension fund with the National Pension Fund has created a valuable opportunity for systemic reform. The primary objectives discussed were the critical issues of wage harmonization, healthcare insurance, and the settlement of outstanding dues for a large demographic of industrial retirees in the province.
“The core aim of these sessions is to realize wage justice and improve the welfare of our retirees,” Darvishi stated. “It has been mandated that the National Pension Fund, in cooperation with retirees’ associations, will evaluate and execute a comprehensive plan for standardizing pensions and medical services.”
“Hope House” Project Nears Completion
Further underscoring the commitment to retirees’ quality of life, officials provided an update on the “Hope House” project. This long-awaited center, designed to provide educational, cultural, and recreational services for retirees, is slated for rapid completion and full operationalization. Darvishi noted that this project is poised to serve as a model for other provinces across the nation.
Ongoing Oversight and a Commitment to Social Justice
Demonstrating the seriousness of this initiative, a follow-up meeting has been scheduled for the next 40 to 60 days to assess the progress of the implemented resolutions. Darvishi concluded by paying tribute to retirees, whom he described as “the pillars of the country’s development.” He emphasized the government’s determination to respond to their decades of service through supportive services, financial facilities, and the firm application of wage justice, reinforcing the state’s commitment to social equity.
