Before the formation of integrated State of Andhra Pradesh in 1956, the Andhra State Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s board was functioning as a Government Organisation. In the erstwhile Hyderabad State, the Hyderabad Central Soldiers Board was functioning as a Non Government Organisation with a full time Secretary. At the District level before the formation of Andhra Pradesh State, the District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Boards were functioning in ten districts of Andhra region viz., Anantapur, Chittoor, Cuddapah, East Godavari, Guntur, Krishna, Kurnool, Nellore, Visakhapatnam and West Godavari under the control of District Employment Officer who functioned as Secretary of the the DSS & A Board. |
Consequent on the formation of Andhra Pradesh State on 01 November 1956, Government issued orders in GO Ms No.120, Home(Labour V) Department,dt. 19-01-1959 intergrating the above two organizations into a single organization as Andhra Pradesh State Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board. The Deputy Director, National Employment service was nominated as Secretary of the Board. Thus, the Secretary of Board was only an Ex-Officio post but not a full time Secretary. |
After constitution of integrated Andhra Pradesh Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board, the Central Soldiers Board functioning in the erstwhile Hyderabad State was made as District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board for Hyderabad District and the Secretary was continued as full time Secretary of the District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board, Hyderabad District. The District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board functioning in the Andhra region were continued as District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board of their respective districts.

The integrated Andhra Pradesh Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board was initially under the control of Commissioner of Labour. Consequent on the formation of Separate Department of Employment & Training, the control over the Andhra Pradesh State Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board was transferred from the Commissioner of Labour to the Director of Employment & Training. The Deputy Director Incharge of the Employment & Training was nominated as Ex-Officio Secretary of the Board . The District Employment Officers of the respective districts were continued as Ex-Officio Secretary of the District Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board. |
Till the Chinese Aggression in 1962, the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board Organisation had a limited role to play. Between the II World War and the Chinese Aggression period, the strength of Armed Forces increased gradually in strength. After the Chinese Aggression, there was rapid and sudden expansion in the strength of the Armed Forces. |
Keeping the enhanced workload relating to welfare of Ex-servicemen and their dependents in view, Government issued orders in G.O.Ms No.676 of Home(Labour-IV) Department, dt.12-04-1966 making the post of the Secretary, Andhra Pradesh Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board as full time Secretary. On the advice of the Government of India, Government of Andhra Pradesh issued orders upgrading the post of the Secretary of Andhra Pradesh State Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board as Director of Andhra Pradesh State Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Board. |
