Capt. Lokendra Singh Talan (Retd.) is a retired Indian Army veteran and the founder of Sainik Welfare News, a public-interest information platform serving defence personnel, veterans, pensioners, government employees and their families.
His work is centred on one practical idea: important information should be explained in a manner that people can understand, verify and use.
Sainik Welfare News was founded to reduce the distance between official information and the people whose lives are directly affected by it.
The platform focuses on pensions, welfare, healthcare, pay commissions, DA/DR, court decisions, government benefits and other public-policy matters.
Capt. Lokendra’s public approach reflects the discipline and responsibility associated with military service.
Rather than presenting information without context, his work emphasises what has changed, who may be affected and where the official position should be checked before taking action.
The founder’s role is expressed through the standards applied to every update, interview and public conversation.
Give priority to official orders, circulars, court records and attributable public sources.
Translate technical developments into practical language without changing their meaning.
Focus on the questions and concerns that matter to veterans, personnel, employees and families.
Encourage viewers to check final decisions with the competent authority before acting.
