Brochure

Prologue

India is democratic and has almost one sixth of the world’s populations. The
Government is seized with many problems to do with its citizens. It is the duty of
every citizen and especially of us the Ex-Servicemen who are known for their
patriotism, discipline, integrity and willingness to help to pitch in to solve the
problems to the extent possible or each one of us.

Indian Ex-Services League (IESL) was formed way back in 1964 with primarily
this in view, with chapters functioning at the State and District levels.
Tamilnadu Ex-Services League (TANESL) is functioning at Madurai since 31st May,
2008.

Purpose

TANESL has as its purpose primarily the welfare of the Ex-Servicemen and
their widows and secondarily that of the people of the State as well.

Function Mode

TANESL will function as the apex body at Tamilnadu State level. The world
‘Apex Body’ indicates that it shall take up such matters that concern the Ex-
Servicemen and their widows in general and need to be addressed at the state/
central Government level.

TANESL is a facilitating body and therefore it will not interfere with or

control the functioning of the various leagues that hold individual identity. The
sovereignty and the independence of all the individual units shall be honored at
all cost.

the Associations at various levels for projecting the problems, for which purpose
