15 Jan
2020 Wednesday. Major General Dinesh Shrivastava, General Officer Commanding of
Golden Katar Division, Officers, JCOs, Jawans and Veterans were present during
the ceremony.

The
ceremony began by paying homage to the martyrs with the Wreath Laying by
veterans & GOC of Golden Katar Division. The veterans interacted with the
serving officers, JCOs, Jawans and shared their experiences. They were also
briefed about new policies and welfare schemes available for ex-servicemen,
martyrs and their families.

The main
objective of the Veterans Day is to felicitate our veterans and solve the
problems that they face after retirement. Notably, the year 2019 was declared
as the year of “Next of Kin” by the Indian Army. Under this initiative, a
number of activities were conducted by the Golden Katar Division for reaching
out to the next of kin of 

Ex-servicemen
& martyrs and resolving their grievances. A job fair was also organised for
Ex-servicemen at Ahmedabad in the month of Aug 2019 as a part of the welfare
scheme.
