HONOUR BOARD: SELFLESS SOCIAL SERVICE- NAIK LINGALA JAGAN REDDY

 

                                                  Driven by Passion for Veterans

 

In a solemn and prestigious ceremony at Secunderabad Cantonment, General Upendra Dwivedi, PVSM, AVSM Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), conferred the Veterans Achievers Award upon distinguished veterans in recognition of their outstanding contributions to society. One of the award recipient, Naik Lingala Jagan Reddy (Retd), has demonstrated exceptional commitment to social service and nation-building beyond military career.

 Naik Lingala Jagan Reddy (Retd) has been a driving force in addressing the challenges faced by Ex-Servicemen. His in-depth analysis and unwavering efforts led him to become a founding member of the National Ex-Servicemen Coordination Committee (NExCC), an organization officially recognized by the Government of India. Due to his hard work and dedication, he has risen to the position of National Chairman of NExCC, where he continues to advocate for the welfare of veterans.

 Naik Reddy along with some other ESMs, have been doing selfless service to the veterans and widows since 1982 for the last about 43 years. He travels across the country meeting defence officials in Delhi, interacting at PCDA Allahabad, meeting the Defence Advisors of the public and private banks, visiting various record offices etc. This involves expenditure which is borne by him most of time except for some sponsored visits.  But most importantly it is the physical effort of running around for others. He is about 82 years young now. He has been into it for the last four decades.   It is the passion to serve his brethren that drives him effortlessly. In spite of his tough built, he is very soft spoken and is able to convince the officials due to his sincerity. He is very honest in his approach and does not expect anything from anyone for all the services.  He is certainly a source of inspiration for the Armed Forces Community.
