The beginning of Sainik Welfare News

Sainik Welfare News began with a simple belief: people should not struggle to understand information that directly affects their service, pension, healthcare, welfare benefits or family security.

From military service to public service

After a long career in the Indian Army, Capt. Lokendra Singh Talan carried forward the discipline, responsibility and service-first mindset of military life into public-interest communication.

The objective was not merely to report developments, but to explain what they mean, who they affect and where viewers should verify the final official position.

A journey built around clarity and trust

What began as practical welfare information gradually developed into a wider platform for news, explainers, interviews and conversations.
