Strengthening Welfare for Ex-Servicemen: Visit to Sainik Welfare Department

Mr.Anand visited the Sainik Welfare Department Head Office in Panjagutta, where he conducted a comprehensive inspection of the premises and office facilities. During the visit, he emphasized the need for improved cleanliness and overall upkeep of the workspace.

Subsequently, the newly appointed Director, Brig. A.R. Rao, along with his team, delivered a detailed presentation outlining the department’s ongoing initiatives, key challenges, and future plans. The briefing highlighted both the scope of work being undertaken and the areas requiring urgent attention.

It was noted that approximately 40,000 ex-servicemen and their families are currently registered on the Mana Sainikulu platform. While multiple welfare measures are in place - including cash grants and allowances from both the State and Central governments- several schemes related to housing, education, and employment have not been fully implemented. A significant factor contributing to this gap is the lack of effective liaison with  State government.

The Flag Day Fund and the annual budget allocated by the State government continue to serve as the primary sources of funding for ex-servicemen welfare. In addition, a proposal for the establishment of a Telangana Ex-Servicemen Corporation (TESCO), similar to models in other states such as Maharashtra, is currently pending with the government. This initiative has the potential to generate large-scale employment opportunities for ex-servicemen in roles such as security personnel, escorts, and related services.

"It was a learning experience because usually this dept is out of focus of the regular daily govt work but can make huge difference to the lives of 40 k families." Xed Mr.Anand

Prisons Department Retreat Highlights Focus on Reform, Technology, and Welfare

Mr.CV Anand, Telangana Home Secretary,  attended the Retreat 26’ programme of the Prisons Department as the Chief Guest, where he was briefed on six presentations delivered by various groups of officers. The presentations covered key areas including security, rehabilitation, de-addiction, welfare of inmates, women prisoners, and the adoption of latest technologies.

The annual retreat was highlighted as a valuable platform for brainstorming, enabling officers to express their thoughts freely, ideas that might otherwise remain unspoken, and to work towards practical solutions while shaping the future direction of the organisation.

While congratulating the officers for their efforts, Mr.Anand stressed the need to adopt modern systems of prison management and to leverage artificial intelligence for this purpose. He emphasised the use of drones for enhanced surveillance and the establishment of videoconferencing facilities in every jail to reduce the need for escorts.

He further underscored the importance of prisons functioning as correctional and reform centres, where inmates can develop hope for the future through reform. Focus was laid on improving their education, health, and skills in trades and goods manufacturing.
