Retired Naik A Levi Magh receiving the Veterans Achiever’s
Award from General Upendra Dwivedi in Kolkata on February.
- DIMAPUR — Retired
Naik A Levi Magh from the 164 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) NAGA was
awarded the Veterans Achiever’s Award by General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of Army
Staff, at the Eastern Command in Kolkata on February.
- Levi Magh took on the noble mission of inspiring and
preparing the youth to join Indian armed forces, resulting in a number of
unemployed youth joining the Indian army as soldiers. His tireless efforts in
spreading awareness and training Ex-servicemen have been instrumental in
resettlement of many veterans in various capacities both in government and
private sector, a defence release stated.
- It stated that Levi Magh was an asset and a role model to
the organisation during his service in the army due to his unending devotion to
duty coupled with creativity in every task that he performed. He stood as a
beacon of hope and resilience even after retirement as he dedicated his
post-service life in helping retired personnel and unemployed youth.
- With the introduction of SPARSH in the year 2021, monthly
pension of all the army pensioners were stopped due to non submission of
digital life certificate. Levi Magh, drawing on the extensive experience and
knowledge he gained in the army, played a tremendous role by helping the pensioners
to submit their digital life certificate in some of the remotest and far flung
areas of the state, despite facing significant challenges and operating with
limited resources, thereby ensuring continuity of pension of retired personnel.
- He has dedicated his post-service life for the uplift of
society particularly the retired personnel, who often found themselves
grappling for re-settlement and lack of direction.
- It added that Levi Magh’s selfless efforts have not only
improved the social and financial standing of underprivileged section of
society but have also strengthened the bond between civilians and the Indian
army.
- It further stated that his relentless dedication has
instilled a sense of pride and purpose to his community, thereby ensuring that
the values of service and discipline continue to inspire future generation.
