The Armed Forces Veterans’ Day in India will henceforth be celebrated every year on the 14th January. This commemorates the date of the retirement of the first ever Field Marshal for the Indian Armed Forces Field Marshal KM Cariappa, OBE.

The coming 14th Jan will thus be a big day and the Veterans all over the country will be celebrating it as per their own formation programs.

Delhi has planned this event in a very big way.

Our Raksha Mantri and the three Services Chiefs will be attending. The program will start at 10 AM and will end with a high tea for the attending veterans & families. Snacks etc will be available at the venue on payment as well.

Stalls will be put up by almost every agency connected with the welfare of the Service Veterans. The DAV and the AFA will be there at full strength.

All veterans of the Indian Armed Forces residing in Delhi NCR / outside are invited. It will be nice and appropriate to wear your medals and the entitled side caps. Family pensioners are also invited. Please come prepared with your documents and their xerox copies for resolving your queries on the spot, or later on, as the case may be.

Please share this post on your timeline so that maximum number of Veterans get informed and are able to take advantage of this Veterans’ Rally.

This year, it is an Indian Air Force Show.

Let’s make it a grand success.
