Shimla Himachal Pradesh : In a significant move to empower the families of those who serve the nation, the Indian Army has formalized a partnership with the Mata Bhakti Devi Welfare Society (MBDWS) and the Shiv Kumar Dogra (SKD) Coaching Institute in Shimla. This collaboration, established through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aims to significantly broaden the educational horizons for the wards of Indian Army personnel. The initiative specifically targets providing high-quality coaching and academic support, ensuring that the children of soldiers have access to the resources necessary for competitive excellence and career development.

The scope of this agreement is comprehensive, offering dedicated benefits to different categories of Army families. Under the terms of the MoU, the SKD Coaching Institute and associated educational entities will provide a specific reservation of seats and substantial fee concessions. These benefits are primarily directed toward the wards of personnel who have died in harness, acknowledging their supreme sacrifice with practical educational support. Furthermore, the initiative extends these concessions to the children of both serving and retired Army personnel, reflecting a holistic approach to veteran and service member welfare.

The educational institutions involved, which include the Indian Institute of Education (IIE), the Indian Institute of Legal Studies (IILS), and the Indian Institute of Nursing (IIN) in Shimla, offer a diverse range of professional courses. These range from teacher training (B.Ed and D.El.Ed) and legal studies to nursing and competitive coaching for various government examinations. By integrating these specialized institutions into the welfare framework of the Army, the partnership ensures that wards can pursue various career paths, whether in law, healthcare, or education with reduced financial burden and guaranteed placement opportunities within the reserved quotas.

This initiative is a testament to the shared vision of the Indian Army and the Mata Bhakti Devi Welfare Society to foster an environment of growth and empowerment for the military community. By lowering the barriers to elite coaching and professional degrees, the program seeks to transform the academic potential of these students into successful professional careers. Army personnel and their families are encouraged to visit the official institutional websites at iieshimla.in, iilshimla.in, and iinshimla.in to explore the specific courses available, understand the eligibility criteria for concessions, and begin the application process for the upcoming academic sessions.
