The Indian Army recently organised an outreach programme, ‘Shaurya Sambandh’, in Tuting, Upper Siang district, to reaffirm its commitment to the welfare of ex-servicemen, veer naris, veer matas, and their families.
The programme aimed to connect with veterans residing in remote areas, where access to welfare services is often limited. It created awareness about various government and Army welfare schemes, including pension-related benefits, healthcare facilities, financial assistance, resettlement opportunities, and other entitlements available to ex-servicemen and veer naris.
During the programme, participants were guided on the procedures to avail these benefits, enabling them to access their rightful entitlements with greater ease and confidence. A key highlight of the event was the grievance redressal session, where veterans and their families shared their concerns directly with Army representatives.
Individual cases were heard with empathy, and efforts were initiated to facilitate timely resolution through the appropriate authorities. The interactive session strengthened mutual trust and reassured the veterans that the Indian Army remains committed to supporting them long after their active service.
The initiative reinforced the values of gratitude, dignity, and national pride, recognising the invaluable contributions and sacrifices of the veteran fraternity while fostering a strong sense of belonging within the Army family.
Through this outreach programme, the Indian Army demonstrated its enduring bond with its veteran community, ensuring that those who once served the nation continue to receive care, respect, and timely support.
