VEER NARIS
Introduction
As we praise the valour and sacrifice of our martyred soldiers we somehow become blind to profound loss
that martyrdom has caused in the lives of the wives of these soldiers- The Veer Naris. The soldiers are the
pillars of democracy who sacrifice their lives willingly for this country. We owe it to them to empower our
Veer Naris and give them the dues they truly deserve and help them in facing life’s challenges.
A number of activities have been taken by AWWA Southern Command for Veer Naris as a way to tell that we
remain indebted to them. Some of the activities taken up for the upliftment of Veer Naris are mentioned
below.
Awareness Programmes
Felicitation & awareness programmes on ‘Entitlements of Veer Naris’ have been conducted in the Command Area in last few months.
This is specifically beneficial for those Veer Naris who are not much aware of their rights and
dues.
In addition, various medical camps are conducted from time to time in different areas in the Command to
provide better health care facilities to the Veer Naris.
Employment
A number of initiatives have been taken up by AWWA Southern Command to train them with vocational skills so
that they become self independent and financially stable. They are trained in regional ASTCs and VTCs in the
command area. Recently two Veer Naris have successfully completed tailoring course conducted at ASTC
Pune.
In addition, preference is given to Veer Naris for employability in various Army amenity shops.
