Every year, large number of Defence Personnel including Officers join the ranks of
Ex-servicemen in West
Bengal,
Majority of them retire at young age between 30 to 45 years to maintain the youthful profile of the Armed
Forces.
They
constitute a national asset and a vast human reserve which is disciplined, trained and of exacting standard.
This
vibrant human resources available in West Bengal, if untapped will be a wastage, which we can't afford.
The Rajya Sainik Board and Zila Sainik Boards, cater to the needs of Approx 1 Lakh Ex-servicemen &
Widows (excluding their dependents). It looks after the welfare of approximately 4.5 Lakh members. For the
Rehabilitation of Ex-servicemen, Widows and their dependents, it was felt necessary to computerize and
digitize
the
available data and bring it on an interactive website so that the information could be made available to
everybody.
