A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WAR DECORATED INDIA
(The only
Registered, Charitable, Society of PVC, MVC, VrC, VC & MC Awardees)
The War
Decorated India is one of the most unusual organisations in India. Membership is not achieved
by birth, social status, political appointment, wealth, academic achievement or
other requirements that most societies and organisations demand.
The War
Decorated India was organised on 01 August 1991, at Chandigarh, by a group of Sainiks; who had
the honour of having received the Vir Chakra series of awards. Membership is
limited to recipients of our Nation’s three highest decorations; awarded for a
conspicuous show of gallantry and intrepidity in the face of enemy; for prowess
shown above and beyond the call of duty. This determines who its members will
be.
The Aim & Objectives of the organisation include,
besides bringing all holders together for their mutual welfare, to extend all
possible relief to needy members, their widows, children & parents.
Advancement of the best interests of members of the Armed Forces of India and
to enhance their prestige, to stimulate patriotism in the minds of our youth
and to promote allegiance to the Government of India; are some of the other
objectives.
It is inevitable, with members scattered widely all
over India
that keeping in touch is difficult. But, the triennial National
Convention-cum-Reunions, lasting" a few days, give members an opportunity
to make and maintain lasting friendships for sharing problems as well as
happiness into the future.
