India has always been proud to have Nepalese as soldiers in her Forces and has made every effort to ensure that they are looked after and cared for in their twilight years.

As of now, we have over 1.23 Lakh ex-servicemen residing in Nepal. The Government of India has made every effort to ensure that these ex-servicemen, their families and dependents are looked after in the best possible manner. To ensure this, the Government of India has established “The Indian Ex-Servicemen Welfare Organisation in Nepal (IEWON)” functioning within the Embassy of India under the chairmanship of Ambassador of India to Nepal.
