No NPS, No UPS, only OPS
Bruhaspati Samal
General Secretary

We toil and sweat, we build this land,
With pen in grip and tool in hand.
From sunrise light to midnight flame,
We serve the nation — yet bear the blame.
A pension right, strong and pure.
Not a gift, nor mercy's favour,
But earned through years of loyal labour.
But then they came with cunning smile,
Snatched our peace with NPS guile.
No shelter left for our old age,
Just numbers trapped in policy cage.
They named a thing called "Unified",
But truth and justice — both denied.
UPS is not what they pretend,
It’s a payout scam, not pension’s end.
No NPS! No UPS! only OPS is the cry,
Till rightful pension rights apply.
We won’t be fooled, we won’t retreat,
Our battle echoes in every street.
Let every office, every gate,
Turn into flames of workers’ fate.
From Kashmir snow to Kanyakumari's breeze,
Let slogans rise with burning pleas.
Join the march, oh friend and peer,
Let silence fade, let truth be clear.
United hearts, unbroken voice,
It’s now or never — make the choice.
This fight is not for gold or greed,
But for justice — our truest need.
We want a future safe and sound,
With dignity where age is found.
Remember always, not one gain,
Has come without the struggle's pain.
So rise, awaken, don’t delay,
The Pension Path is ours to lay.
From files and fields, let all arise,
Till justice reigns beneath our skies.
With fists of hope and heads held high,
We fight, we win — or do not die.
