Soldiering is a full time job and is extremely demanding. NA helps its soldiers by making their family life easier by doing its bit with the limited resources at its disposal. Schooling of the children, health services for family members are all part of the welfare activities carried out by the army. The relationship continues even after retirement as old soldiers too benefit from NA support.

In the context of the current challenges that affect the soldier and his family alike, the NA has sought to revitalize the welfare schemes for all ranks. Some of the welfare schemes in practice are - Schools and scholarships for army children, medical coverage for soldiers and families, housing schemes, legal assistance, Insurance Schemes, Army postal facility, special programs for war widows and families and facilities for the purchases of various items on installment basis.

A unique feature of NA welfare is the utilization of contributions of a certain amount of all ranks' peacekeeping allowances for the welfare fund. In today's crisis situation with increased numbers of NA casualties, this fund is critical to the maintenance of the welfare schemes. It also helps lessen the burden on the government in this vital aspect, which is so crucial for the maintenance of morale of soldiers who are sacrificing all on a daily basis. Details of the schemes are provided in Nepali.
