Once they shed their defence uniform, ex-servicemen are often faced with the question of what to do next. However, the State Department of the Sainik Welfare Board, finds itself helpless due to a lack of support from the state government and a paucity of public donations.
Retired Colonel Suhas Jatkar, Director at the State Department of Sainik Welfare headquarters in Pune, admits the pivotal role that the board plays. "The department acts as a link between the Kendriya Sainik Board, Delhi, the state government and various Zilla Sainik welfare offices in Maharashtra," he said.
