The main objective of this day is to collect voluntary contributions from citizens to help in the rehabilitation of soldiers and the welfare of their families.
History of beginning:
After India gained independence, there was a need for a permanent arrangement to meet the economic needs of the country's soldiers and their dependents. Keeping this matter in mind, historically on 28 August 1949, a committee was formed under the Defense Minister of the Government of India, in which it was decided to celebrate 'Flag Day' every year on 7 December. From then till today, this day is celebrated with full national pride every year on 7th December.
Where are these funds used?
The money collected in the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund is used for very transparent and socially beneficial works:
1. For the welfare and education of the families (brave women and orphan children) of the heroes martyred in the war.
2. For the treatment and rehabilitation of seriously injured or disabled ex-servicemen.
3. To provide assistance to retired servicemen and their dependents in times of financial crisis.
Our moral responsibility:
On this day, citizens voluntarily contribute by purchasing small symbolic flags and stickers of red, blue and dark brown colours. This is not just financial help, but an excellent medium to express our gratitude towards the protectors of the country. On this flag day, we should express the true spirit of patriotism by helping the families of our soldiers.
