Dear Friends,
Soldiering is an extremely difficult profession. Many of our young brothers laid their lives when still in their teens or early 20’s. Some of them left young widows, and little children. While there are a lot of schemes for their welfare by the Central Government , State Governments and the Ministry of Defense, I personally feel there are still a lot of war widows and children of our soldiers who are entitled to a better life then some of them may actually be living.
While taking the final step at the Chetwood Building an officer takes an oath to take care of his soldiers always and every time before he takes care of himself. There have been many instances when the officers have not lived up to the promise they once made at the time of passing out; but these are exceptions. Most officers would give their lives for their soldiers and that has always been the strength of Indian Army.
I had received myself at age 16 the ashes of my cousin brother who laid his life at Beriwala Bridge in 1971. He was married for less than six months and my uncle became blind while still less that 40 years of age during the military service. He was discharged without any pension at that time. I had experienced the complex problem such situations create for the parents and young widows. There are so many of these young soldiers who have left old/ disable parents; young children and young widows. Some them had been the only earning member of their family.
I have started a charitable organization that is a project within the NAJC (North American Jat Charity) where we would be helping the children and widows of our shaheeds, who need financial help. This is a baby step and with the help of you all; I am sure together we can make it a mission that everyone will envy to copy.
I will be posting the updates of this project as we move on. A website is being developed where people will have an option to make their donations online. All the donations made in US will be tax deductible to people.
I am having my first fund raiser on this Army Day that is on 15th January 2011; at Holiday Inn; Raritan Center, Edison, NJ. I would request you all to inform your friends and family living in US to whole heartedly support this project. We are also in the process of registering a NGO in India that would be managed by the retired officers of highest integrity so that every penny that we collect is directed to the most deserving one.
Kindly help me in this project. You can send your views to me at Virendra.tavathia@gmail.com under the heading “Sharadhaa”.
Looking forward to your support.
