Paying respect to the Jawans

Every Indian is proud of the gallantry tradition of our armed forces. They have not only served courageously in the battlefield, but also pitched in with heroism whenever the country needed them. Shri Deepender Singh Hooda completely acknowledges the sacrifice by Jawans in safeguarding India’s prestige.

India has close to 2.5 million ex-servicemen. These 2.5 million former soldiers, and their families, represent a generation that sacrificed its youth in defending India’s honour. Thousands of them, who laid down their lives defending national honour, are now survived by their widows and children.

Congress-led UPA Government’s One Rank One Pension policy will ensure uniform pension for all armed forces personnel retiring at the same rank, and with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement.

OROP (One Rank One Pension) has indeed ushered good news for all gallant Military as well as Para Military serving/ ex servicemen of Haryana.

 Chief Minister Deepender Singh Hooda recently announced massive increase in the amount given to gallant defence personnel like Paramvir chakra from Rs. 31 lakh to Rs 2 Crore, Ashoka chakra and Mahavir chakra Rs 1 crore each, Vir chakra Rs 50 Lakh, Army, Air force and Navy Medal Rs. 21 lakh and Mention-in-dispatches to get Rs 10 Lakh. 

This move shows the concern of the Hooda government towards our valiant soldiers and their families. It's a praiseworthy effort that instills strong hopes of lasting people’s government.
