On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the implementation of the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the welfare of Indian Armed Forces veterans. The scheme, which has benefitted lakhs of pensioners and their families, was hailed by the Prime Minister as a tribute to the courage and sacrifices of India’s military personnel.

In a message shared on the social media platform ‘X’, PM Modi expressed his gratitude to the veterans and ex-service personnel who dedicate their lives to protecting the nation. He emphasized that the decision to implement OROP was not only a milestone in addressing a long-standing demand but also a reaffirmation of the country’s gratitude to those who have served in the armed forces.

The Prime Minister wrote on X, “On this day, #OneRankOnePension (OROP) was implemented. This was a tribute to the courage and sacrifices of our veterans and ex-service personnel who dedicate their lives to protecting our nation. The decision to implement OROP was a significant step towards addressing this long-standing demand and reaffirming our nation’s gratitude to our heroes.”

PM Modi further highlighted the impact of the scheme over the past decade, noting that the benefits of OROP had reached lakhs of pensioners and their families, providing them with financial security and support. He stressed that the initiative went beyond numbers, symbolizing the government’s deep commitment to ensuring the well-being of those who have served in the armed forces.

“It would make you all happy that over the decade, lakhs of pensioners and pensioner families have benefitted from this landmark initiative. Beyond the numbers, OROP represents the government’s commitment to the well-being of our armed forces. We will always do everything possible to strengthen our armed forces and further the welfare of those who serve us. #OneRankOnePension,” he wrote.

The OROP scheme, implemented on November 7, 2015, aimed to ensure that military personnel of the same rank and length of service receive the same pension, regardless of when they retired. It has been widely regarded as a historic step towards addressing the disparities in pension benefits between retired military personnel and their civilian counterparts.

Since its implementation, the scheme has helped numerous veterans and their families by improving their financial stability, demonstrating the government’s recognition of their sacrifices and service to the nation.
