Governors Conference New Delhi


Extract: SPEECH BY HON'BLE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SMT PRATIBHA DEVISINGH PATIL, AT THE CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS, New Delhi, 16th September 2008

I want to advert your attention to another segment of the society where there is both need and scope to improve. We have about 21 lakh ex-servicemen and 4 lakh war-widows. The constant vigil of our security forces keeps us safe and secure. We must take special care of their welfare and rehabilitation. I had requested you all for a special report on the activities of Sainik Boards and Amalgamated Funds. While the focus of a few States seem to lack drive, some have embarked on innovative schemes like computerization of Sainik Board data in West Bengal, medical reimbursement in Goa, reimbursement of housing loan interest in Jharkhand, just to name a few. I would urge upon all the Governors presiding or chairing the Rajya Sainik Boards to hold regular meetings and impart greater dynamism to these Boards; take up resource-mobilization drives besides a prompt redressal of their grievances.

Smt Pratibha Devisingh Patil,
President of India
CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS, 16 Sep 2008
