The Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) facilitated a lecture on “Stress Management and Achievement of Better Mental Health” for ex-servicemen and their dependents at the Dweepika Auditorium, INS Jarawa, on October 31, 2025.
The session was conducted by the faculty of the Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation (RERF), an organization that has been conducting specialized programmes on stress eradication and inner strength enhancement for military, paramilitary, and police forces across India since 2001. In recent years, RERF has expanded its outreach to include defence civilians and veterans as well.
A total of 130 veterans, along with their dependents from Sri Vijaya Puram, actively participated in the session. The initiative aimed to promote mental well-being among ex-servicemen and their families by emphasizing preventive mental health care, reducing reliance on medication, and fostering a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
