Ex-Soldier Status of Disabled Recruits
The nature of service of military personnel is completely different from that of other recruits working in the civil sector/ministry/offices. Every year many army recruits get sick and disabled during the gruelling training activities and lose their health. Indian Army personnel are highly esteemed in the society for the sacrifices they make for their motherland. Even in adverse circumstances, they perform the tasks and duties given to them without asking any questions. Mountains and deserts are no longer a barrier for them. The Government of India has introduced several welfare programmes for ex-servicemen, war widows and their families through the Directorate General of Ex-Servicemen Welfare and Kendriya Sainik Board. Recruits discharged from the Army due to disability during training also require financial assistance to live and earn a living with minimum respect.
Recruits discharged from the Army due to disability and entitled to sickness/disability pension will be recognised by the Government as ex-servicemen with effect from 1st February 2006, irrespective of the date of discharge from the Army.
