The Indian Army reaffirmed its commitment to the welfare and well-being of veterans, Veer Naris and their dependents by organising an Ex-Servicemen (ESM) Rally in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, on Saturday.
The event was conducted by the Victory for Certain Brigade under the Golden Key Division, in coordination with Headquarters Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh (Independent) Sub Area. It saw enthusiastic participation from many ex-servicemen, their families, Veer Naris and Veer Matas from Solan and the surrounding areas.
The rally provided a platform for veterans to directly interact with representatives from the Army, Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), Zila Sainik Welfare Office, Record Offices, banks and various civil departments. Attendees sought assistance and resolutions on issues related to pensions, healthcare, documentation, resettlement, employment, district administration and other welfare matters.
In his address, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Golden Key Division paid tribute to the invaluable service, dedication and sacrifices of the brave sons of Himachal Pradesh in safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty and integrity.
The GOC stated, “The welfare of ex-servicemen, Veer Naris, Veer Matas and their families remains a top priority” and assured that continued efforts would be made to ensure timely access to all entitled benefits and support mechanisms.
Multiple service counters, medical consultation camps, grievance redressal cells and information kiosks were set up at the venue to offer a wide range of services under one roof for beneficiaries.
The rally strengthened the bond between serving soldiers and veterans, reflecting the Indian Army’s ethos of standing by its personnel even after active service. The event was held under the guiding spirit of “Serving the Soldier Beyond Service,” symbolising the nation’s gratitude and the Indian Army’s steadfast commitment to its veterans.
