I always wondered as to whenever I hear in the news that a soldier becomes martyr defending this Great Nation against the evil forces, How can I help their families in such situation?. These soldiers laid down their lives defending you , so that you and your families can fulfill your dreams and become a better person of this nation. It was always the job of the government to take care of their families and of course friends, relatives and colleagues have always come forward to help them pass through the grief times. But me, as a citizen sitting very far from their families always felt that I should help them at least with some small monetary funds that I can afford apart from offering respects and prayers to the fallen heroes. Of course, I'm sure many would have felt the same.
Akshay kumar , a well known actor in India felt the need to bridge this gap by providing a platform to citizens to contribute monetary funds directly to the martyr's kin. And thus with the help of Ministry of Home affairs ,Govt. of India came up with a website called " Bharat ke Veer" which provides the chance for the citizens to directly contribute to the Martyr's family kin in whatever way they can and these funds under the supervision of a committee ahead by Ministry of Home Affairs will be given to the martyr's family.
When I came to know about this website, I was instantly impressed by the idea and decided to contribute whatever I can. The website houses only martyrs who worked for Home Ministry i.e.,
1. BSF- Border Security Force
2. CRPF- Central Reserve Police Force
3. CISF- Central Industrial Security Force
4. Assam Rifles
5. ITBP- Indo- Tibetian Border Police Force
6. SSB- Shashatra Seema Bal
7. NDRF- National Disaster Response Force
8. The Elite Commando Group -NSG- National Security Guards
I'm not quite sure such platform exists for martyrs from Indian Army, Air force and Navy and if it doesn't , it should be extended by Defence Ministry.
I request you to visit their website https://bharatkeveer.gov.in/ to know more info about the martyrs and hopefully you can contribute to their families for the supreme sacrifice they made to this country. The idea is to collect an amount of Rs. 15 lakhs for each martyr family and people can contribute even smaller amounts of Rs. 10/- as well . Im quite surprised that people have instantly loved this concept and with overwhelming support of people , the goal is not far away.
I found about 114 martyr names on the website and I have decided to help all their families with whatever amount I can in the next few months. Hopefully by end of this year , I'm planning to reach my goal.
Below is a certificate issued by MHA for the contribution I have done. Now on wards I will update about my progress regularly here on my blog. This is not just for show casing my contribution, its my way of reiterating my commitment I made and also to boost me against all odds I will face on my journey.
The Martyrs Names are
1. Constable Arup Kumar ,CRPF
2. COnstable N Senthil Kumar, CRPF
3. Constable Ram Meher, CRPF
4. ASI Rameshwar Lal, CRPF
We salute you for sacrifice you made to this Country and May your soul rest in Peace.
Please do visit the website https://bharatkeveer.gov.in/ and do the needful.
Jai Hind
