Dignity, Inclusion and Opportunity for Every Generation and Every Ability

The Senior Citizens, Deprived Children & Disability Rehabilitation Welfare Wing of Veterans India promotes dignity, inclusion, awareness, support and opportunity for senior citizens, children from disadvantaged backgrounds and persons with disabilities.
