After a life of discipline, sacrifice, and selfless service, members of the armed forces deserve more than just gratitude — they deserve structured support, secure environments, and continued care. At DOWO (Defence Official Welfare Organisation), we believe that honouring our soldiers doesn't stop at the end of their service. It begins a new chapter — one filled with dignity, welfare, and community.
From social welfare for armed forces and veterans to post-retirement welfare assistance, DOWO has pioneered a robust framework to support both active personnel and retired defence families across India. Our initiatives span housing, healthcare, crisis support, and family welfare — all integrated with one purpose: to serve those who served the nation.
🇮🇳 Social Welfare for Armed Forces and Veterans
Social welfare is not just about charity — it's about providing structure, respect, and dignity to the lives of those who wore the uniform. DOWO’s social welfare for armed forces and veterans program ensures that no soldier is left behind, especially after retirement.
Our welfare services are designed to support:
We provide access to housing schemes, healthcare assistance, veteran events, and social inclusion programs to ensure a strong, connected, and respected veteran community.
⚠️ Rapid Emergency Relief and Crisis Management
Life after retirement doesn’t mean freedom from challenges. Whether it's a medical emergency, natural disaster, or financial distress, DOWO’s rapid emergency relief and crisis management cell ensures timely response and support.
Key emergency services include:
Our nationwide volunteer network and quick-response team are ready to intervene — just as our soldiers were always ready for the nation.
🛡️ Integrated Support Services for Retired Armed Forces
Retirement can be a time of uncertainty — shifting from regimented life to civilian routines brings emotional, logistical, and financial challenges. At DOWO, our integrated support services for retired armed forces ensure this transition is smooth and empowering.
We provide:
Through our single-window support systems, veterans receive all-round assistance without the need to navigate multiple bureaucracies.
🏠 Welfare Services After Retirement
DOWO’s welfare services after retirement reflect our belief that retirement should not feel like an end, but a new beginning. Our services are designed to support veterans in living a life of dignity, peace, and purpose.
Some of our key retirement welfare initiatives include:
We believe that every veteran should enjoy their golden years in a secure, well-planned, and respected environment.
👨👩👧👦 Family Welfare for Military Personnel
Behind every soldier is a family that sacrifices just as much. From long periods of separation to the constant worry of danger, military families endure a silent battle. At DOWO, family welfare for military personnel is a core priority.
Our family welfare programs include:
We understand that supporting the family is just as important as supporting the soldier. Our programs aim to build stable, informed, and empowered defence families.
💼 Post-Retirement Welfare Assistance: A New Mission Begins
Post-retirement can be a time of reinvention. Whether it's starting a small business, writing a book, or simply finding a peaceful place to settle, veterans need guidance and structure to make the most of this phase. Our post-retirement welfare assistance ensures they have access to everything they need to thrive.
DOWO helps with:
For us, retirement is not the end of service — it is a redefined mission to live fully, contribute meaningfully, and inspire future generations.
