The Indian Veterans Corp (IVC) was conceptualized as a commercial venture in October 2020 but  could not be launched due to lack of  volunteers to lead various verticals, ie.,  Placement, Wedding, Healthcare and eSeva.   223 tri service veterans had applied and committed to contribute Rs 18.7 Lakhs towards equity.   An email has gone out to all who stepped ahead and your desire to participate is well appreciated.

The new Avatar of the IVC  was precipitated by a persistent need to close the gaps between entitled services provided by the ECHS and the issues faced by ECHS beneficiaries to compulsorily but avoidably visit the polyclinic just to collect continued medicines.  This could be greatly ameliorated if medicines were issued for 90 days or E-SeHAT tele-medicine is introduced, but that’s not immediately on the horizon, and hence this initiative.  And the establishment of a Veterans Complex under the HQ K&K Sub Area provided the opportunity and much needed base to start operations as an Enhanced Helpdesk as a unit of a veterans cooperative society under formation.  More on the institutionalization through a cooperative is available for your reading in the Cooperative page.
