Our Causes

NEW DELHI: The government will now fully fund the education of martyrs children, said a notification today from the defence ministry.

Earlier, the education of these children was funded, but only up to Rs 10,000 a month. That limitation, on what's called "educational concession", has now been removed.

The concession applies to the children of officers from the armed forces, 'persons below officer rank' missing in action, and those disabled or killed in action. This scheme covers around 3,400 children and entails an expenditure of around Rs 5 crore a year currently.

INDORE: Employees of Neemuch Alkaloid Factory and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawans observed silence on Monday to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in the attack. In the evening, the employees and factory guards gathered in the ground in memory of the army jawans and also donated funds for aggrieved families. General manager of the factory, HN Meena said, "We have contributed Rs 50,000 and the donation is likely to rise as various shift workers are yet to contribute. We will get a demand draft made in the name of prime minister relief fund, requesting that the money be given to family members of the martyrs. We have collected funds to show that we stand by the martyrs and their family members."
