Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled the commitment made to armed forces veterans by providing the 'one rank one pension' scheme, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday.
Addressing army veterans in Leh on the first of his three-day trip, the Defence Minister said: "Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled the commitment given to the Armed Forces veterans by providing for one rank one pension."
Speaking on the problem of resettlement after service, he said the problem still persists. "Along with this, job fairs are also organised by the Directorate General Resettlement from time to time, in which a large number of veterans are given employment. We are trying to speed up this work."
