Armed Forces Day (India)

Yesterday, 7th December, was India's "Armed Forced Flag Day". Constituted on 7th December 1949, this day is dedicated towards collection of funds from people of India for the welfare of the Indian Armed Forces personnel. The idea behind observing a Flag Day was to distribute small flags to the general population and in return collect donations.
The Flag day is mainly observed to serve three basic purposes : Rehabilitation of battle casualties, welfare of serving personnel and their families and resettlement and welfare of ex-servicemen and their families.

Salute to the Indian Armed Forces on this occasion!
