Shri Narendra Modi, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India

India is proud of the valiant Ex-Servicemen who have defended our nation. The welfare schemes which have been enhanced for them will greatly improve their quality of life.

Shri Rajnath Singh, Hon'ble Raksha Mantri

Our stance is very clear that there should be no compromise on the health of those who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding national interests.
