Show that you care for the Indian Armed Forces...

Ask not what your country can do for you... ...but if you feel helpless in doing something for the brave people defending our nation & to whatever it stands for, this is a chance to make a difference however small it may be. If it does not make much sense reading the lines above, read the daily newspapers & visit www.bharat-rakshak.com http://armedforces.nic.in/armedforces/arwelf.htm These are a few details available there. Army Central Welfare Fund There has been a large number of requests from all over the world asking for information on sending contributions to families/ survivors of our valiant soldiers who have laid down their lives in the service of the nation recently in Kargil Operations .They have performed the supreme sacrifice which a soldier can do. Army Central Welfare Fund maintained by the Adjutant General's Branch aims at rehabilitating the families of these soldiers for their personal sacrifice for the nation.Contributions including those from the NRI's are welcome. Cheques/Account Payee Drafts may be made in the favour of "Army Central Welfare Fund", at the following address :- Deputy Director (CW-8), Adjutant General's Branch, West Block III,Room No.76, R K Puram, New Delhi-110066, INDIA. Tele: 91-11-6196217 / 3018112 Fax: 91-11-3792511 / 3375136 Contributions made to the Fund are fully exempted from Income Tax under Section 80G of Indian Income Tax Act 1961. At Rs 24 per air sortie, the air force officers are willing to lay down their lives for the country. For the land forces below, any mistakes do not lead to a second round. There is no second chance & they know it. They laid down their lives so that our future generations can continue living in peace. As in case of squadron leader Ahuja and his compatriots on the ground, their children will hardly be able to recall the faces of their parents. They did it so that the rest of us are still living as peace loving Indians, watch more cricket matches between India and pakistan, watch those commercials with our heroes drinking colas, brushing their teeth, driving cars, and destroying the bad guys without suffering a scratch. You will never get to hear abt most of the people dead,missing or greiviously injured & disabled for the rest of their lives. But the least you can do is give you contributions in what ever small amounts possible individually. Please act in earnest, ....This time you CAN do something for your country.
