NEW DELHI, OCT 29: The Indian Army has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Swami Vivekanand Subharti University to expand educational opportunities for wards of Army personnel and their families, reinforcing its commitment to the welfare and empowerment of the Army fraternity.
Under the agreement, eligible students from different categories of Army families will receive substantial fee concessions to facilitate access to higher education and reduce the financial burden on families.
As per the announced provisions, 100% fee concession will be provided to 10 wards of Veer Naris and war widows. Additionally, 50% fee concession each will be extended to 10 wards of disabled or medically boarded-out personnel and 10 wards of gallantry awardees.
