Today is the 7th of December, and we observe the day across the country as Armed Forces Flag day.

Real-life superheroes of the Armed forces are honored annually on Flag Day of India. This day allows citizens to take responsibility for looking after disabled servicemen, families, and dependents of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

History

We all know that, in 1949, the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund was established by the committee of the Defence Minister. All the associated welfare funds such as funds for war victims, Kendriya Sainik Board Fund, ex-servicemen’s welfare fund, and other units, were united to make a single Armed Forces Flag Day fund in the year 1993 by the Defense Ministry of India.

The fund collection is managed by the local arms of the Kendriya Sainik Board in India, which is a part of the Ministry of Defense.

Yes, the primary aim is to collect funds from people for the betterment of the Armed Forces Staff. and observe this day to honor the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of India that have laid down their lives in the country’s service.

The objective:

The main objective of the Armed Forces Flag Day is to collect funds from people for the betterment of the Armed Forces staff just by selling batches, stickers, and other items.
