The Indian Army has reached out to Nari Niketan orphanage in Poonch’s Mendhar, which houses 26 girls and four widows, to help them become self-reliant and productive members of society. ‘Indian Army reached out to Nari Niketan orphanage in Krishna Ghati sector,’ said defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand.
‘The army adopted all 26 girls and will cater for their present and future requirements for education, personality development, health and wellness,’ said the spokesperson. The military will provide for their needs until they reach financial independence.
The Indian Army’s initiative serves as an inspiration for the nation and its people to provide and support the underprivileged and give them the opportunity to prove their mettle not only to their nation, but even to the entire world, he added. Meanwhile, the Indian Army established ‘Asha Bakery’ to provide employment to women in the Akhnoor area of Jammu.
