MoD Signs MoU With DD Produce Programmes on Ex-Servicemen


   The Ministry of Defence signed a  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) here today with Doordarshan to
produce programmes of various genres on different facets of  Ex-Servicemen’s (ESM) lives. The programmes will also include  the role played by the ESM in nation building and the efforts  being made by the Government for their welfare and resettlement  over the years.

   The MoU was signed by Smt Neelam  Nath, Secretary, Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (ESW),
Ministry of Defence and Smt Aruna Sharma, Director General,  Doordarshan. Television viewers across the  country will now be able to experience the real life stories of  the ESM and the contributions made by them in nation-building.
 
   The infotainment programmes will also project the resettlement  and various welfare measures of the government. There are nearly 27 lakhs  Ex-Servicemen including over five lakh widows. This figure  swells by an average of about 50,000 ESM who are released from  the Armed Forces every year. The Directorate General of  Resettlement (DGR), an Inter-Services Organisation under the  Ministry of Defence, runs various resettlement and welfare  schemes for the benefit of the vast ESM workforce in the  country. Over 50 thousand ESM were gainfully re-employed by the  DGR last year alone.
