Under the 'Shaurya' campaign we have collected useful Diwali gifts for children of martyrs of Jammu & Kashmir Rifles (J & K Rifles), who are living, in the regiment's hostel at Jabalpur. The army has set up the hostel to take care of 65 children whose fathers were martyred fighting for the country. We have also collected video messages for them. We will travel till Jabalpur spend Diwali with the children and return on October 29.

Tricity's well known corporate, GBP Group, is  lending support to the noble cause under its CSR initiative.

Raman Gupta, Director(Marketing & Construction), GBP Group said that we had made all arrangements to collect the gift items both big and small at our offices in tricity. The idea behind the trip to Jabalpur is also to interact and get to know the needs of the children more. This in turn will help in working towards helping them for their future careers, via providing the right resources etc. The initiative will commemorate Diwali in the truest form. He congratulates IASH for making this possible.

Such measures will instill confidence and hope in the children & next of kin of martyrs that the whole nation stands solidly behind them as one.

Bhavpreet Singh the other motorcyclist and  Co-Founder, 'Shaurya India' said that the motive of the campaign is also to sensitise the civilian population about the need to get involved with the welfare of martyrs' next of kin, especially their children. It is not only the duty of the Indian Army but also the citizens to take care of them, as it is only because of their fathers incredible sacrifice, that we are able to breathe in a free nation.
