A High Level Parliamentary Committee under the Chairmanship of Brig (Retd) K.P. Singh Deo, Rajya Raksha Mantri was constituted in 1982 to rejuvenate functioning of RSB and ZSBs. The committee submitted a number of useful recommendations which have been mostly accepted by Government of Andhra Pradesh. This resulted in formation of Department of Sainik Welfare, Andhra Pradesh with Directorate of Sainik Welfare as an apex body at Hyderabad with 23 Zilla Sainik Welfare Offices i.e one in every district with funding in the ratio  of 50:50 by the Central Government and State Government. This dedicated and independent department exclusively sanctioned for providing welfare to the Ex-servicemen community has greatly enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of welfare delivery mechanism.
