Pension camp for defence veterans

To ensure better facilities for defence veterans and their families, a Raksha Pension Samadhan Aayojan (RPSA) was conducted at Nabha. The outreach programme was organised by the Airawat Division with the primary objective of addressing and resolving pension-related grievances of defence pensioners, including veterans of the Indian Army and their eligible family pensioners.

It witnessed enthusiastic participation from a large number of ex-servicemen, widows and dependents from Nabha and surrounding areas. One of the defining features of the programme was the presence of representatives from all key agencies involved in defence pension administration, to ensure on the spot resolution of anomalies and effective guidance on complex pension matters.

These included officials from the Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Pensions), representatives of Pension Disbursing Banks, Record Offices of the Army and representatives of Veterans Welfare Sewa Kendra.

Majority of pension cases were resolved immediately and balance pending issues were intimated with clear timelines and follow-up mechanisms.

Special emphasis was laid on addressing the concerns of Veer Naris and widows.

An interactive session was held, allowing veterans to share their experiences and provide feedback on pension-related processes.
