Chief Minister Pema Khandu of Arunachal Pradesh publicly commended the Indian Army’s veterans outreach programme operating in the state’s border districts. The initiative, designed to provide counselling, skill‑development and employment assistance to former soldiers, has been praised for its role in fostering community resilience.
Khandu noted that the outreach has helped many veterans reintegrate into civilian life, offering them support networks and opportunities that were previously limited in remote border regions. He emphasized that such programmes are vital for maintaining the morale of those who have served.
The Indian Army’s effort is part of a wider national strategy to support veterans across the country, ensuring they receive the care and recognition they deserve. By extending these services to Arunachal’s frontier areas, the Army is also strengthening local security dynamics.
The CM concluded that the collaboration between the state government and the Army not only benefits veterans but also enhances the overall security posture of the border region, creating a safer environment for all residents.
