“Information is invaluable ” who else than the Ex Servicemen Community, can understand the phrase. Post retirement, most of the Ex Service Men/ Their Widows/War Widows/their families stay in villages/towns. In most cases they have to visit nearby Sainik Kalyan offices to know basic welfare information, there too getting the answer for specific questions is daunting.
The situation is worse in cases where widows/wards are staying alone. Central and State Govt have initiated many welfare schemes and time to time they announce welfare measures for the well being of the community. However, it’s a Herculean task to make people aware about the same, often they come to know once the specific deadline passes.
