In a significant move to bolster the welfare of its veterans and their families, the Indian Army, under the leadership of General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of Army Staff (COAS), and Mrs. Sunita Dwivedi, President of the Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA), inaugurated Project NAMAN. This nationwide initiative was launched to provide comprehensive support and services to the defense community across India.
During the launch event, General Dwivedi expressed his deep appreciation for the project, noting its transformative potential in enhancing the welfare of veterans, war widows, and their next of kin. He highlighted the commitment of the Indian Army to continuously support its extended family of veterans who have served the nation with honor.
At the core of Project NAMAN is the implementation of SPARSH (System for Pension Administration Raksha), a digital pension system designed to simplify and streamline pension-related processes.
This initiative aims to address the need for easily accessible facilitation points across the country. It will deliver a wide array of services through dedicated Common Service Centres (CSCs) tailored specifically for the Indian Army’s veterans and their families.
The establishment of Project NAMAN has been facilitated through a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Directorate of Indian Army Veterans (DIAV), Common Service Centre e-Governance India Limited, and HDFC Bank Limited.
This collaboration underscores a unified approach to enhance the support structure for the veteran community, ensuring they receive the benefits and services they deserve efficiently and transparently.
Project NAMAN is expected to make a significant impact on the lives of countless members of the defense community, providing them with the support and recognition they rightfully deserve.
