DIRECTORATE OF STATISTICS AND RECORDS

Comments: This organisation is staffed and run by bureaucrats for the Veterans. Very laudable aims! No online data of ESM. The website merely gives out information. No user friendly interface. No online list of WWII Veterans, Widows list and so on and so forth. Why statistical data should be "On Demand"? Should it not be available for free online. Is the stat information "Secret"? How many ESM have obtained placement region/ statewise? Another shoddy function is issue of ESM identity cards of such poor quality which no one is proud to display.
