SALUTE TO MARTYRS

Salute to Martyrs’ program intends to provide support to the children of those Martyrs of the military, Para-military and police personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty and war widows to lead a dignified life. The program works closely with the families of these children, local institutions and government bodies to improve the welfare of these children. Our Program focuses on the intellectual, physical and emotional growth of these children and mothers. Salute to Martyrs is well aligned with Sustainable Development Goal no 4 –“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunity for all.
