Other than that, the association organises vocational training and empowers the beneficiaries.[2][3]

The former president of the AWWA, Madhulika Rawat, was also the president of the Defence Wives Welfare Association (DWWA) until 8 December 2021.[4][5] Mrs Archana Pande, wife of General Manoj Pande is currently serving as President of AWWA.[6]
