The Indian Military Board was established on 07 September 1919 after the end of the First World War. The purpose of this board was to advise the government regarding the welfare and rehabilitation of retired, deceased and disabled servicemen and their dependents. After the independence of India, this board was renamed as “Indian Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen Board”. In 1975, its name was again changed to “Central Military Board”, which is a statutory board. This board currently functions under the Ministry of Defence and contributes to the welfare and rehabilitation of retired servicemen and their dependents serving in the Armed Forces of India.
