KHAIRENITAR, March 24 -- Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Prabhu Ram Sharma has said the Army Welfare Fund is dedicated to the betterment of lives of former army personnel.

At a programme organized by the Nepalese Army's No 3 Brigade at Khairenitar today, CoAS Sharma made his intent clear that he wanted to see the Nepalese Army being able, active and self-reliant.

"Although the aspirations and expectations of the beneficiaries are unlimited, the Nepalese Army has been optimizing its limited resources and is effortful to uplift the living standard of the beneficiaries," said Sharma.

It may be noted that Sharma in April 2022 had informed that the Army Fund, established in 1975, had Rs 63.97 billion as of mid-January of the same year.
