As I was nearing the end of my fulfilling tenure in the Indian Army in the late 1980s, I felt a compelling need to establish a robust support network for fellow Veterans of the Defence Forces. It became evident to me that there existed a vast reservoir of untapped talent among skilled, retired personnel, ready for use in nation-building, welfare and growth. This realization spurred me to focus my efforts wholeheartedly in this direction.

Inspired by the leadership of late Lt Gen J.M Vohra PVSM, SM, Veteran Defence Forces Group [VDFG] was established. It became a platform for ex- defence personnel to mobilize their competencies and strengths and to ‘Re-Discover the Force Within.’ Over the last three decades, with completion of every project, we have equated profitability to community growth and enhancement by serving and engaging. We have liberally donated our resources and earnings to demonstrate our corporate social responsibility. Several socio-economic initiatives were implemented guided by the belief that their success at both organizational and national level, rests on health, wellness and prosperity of all sections of society.

We have been conscious of our responsibility towards communities and the environment and the choices we make. I am delighted to note that our health and empowerment initiatives have benefitted more than hundred thousand beneficiaries. With the formation of the Trust, we intend to make concerted efforts and continue our legacy of liberally contributing and mobilizing resources towards building safer and stronger communities.

I firmly believe and am positive that as a Trust we will make a meaningful difference with greater social impact and reach with the support of enthusiasts who share our vision.

I invite you to join hands with us in this noble endeavor and monumental process of nation building and transforming lives. It is my assurance that every donation, effort, skill, resource and time put in will be used purposefully, for the well-being of society we serve and create a more compassionate future for several generations to come.

Thank You
