Welcome to War Wounded Foundation

Introduction

The War Wounded Foundation was incorporated in August 2002, with the intention of creating long- term avenues for the financial independence of all war wounded personnel of the Army, Navy and the Air Force. There are nearly 40,000 war disabled personnel in our country, scattered in different parts of India . On account of the heavy involvement of the defence forces, especially the Army, in major counter – insurgent and counter – terrorist operations in many parts of the country, there is a constant addition to the number of such personnel. The war disabled hail from all states and union territories. The work of the War Wounded Foundation is thus on an all India basis.

The War Wounded Foundation has been set up as an autonomous organization to assist war wounded personnel in leading useful & productive lives and becoming financially independent.

With a view to meet the aspirations of the war-disabled personnel, the Foundation is also imparting ‘skills training’ to them. We initially focused on skills like computer training, spoken English, repairs of small items like TV, radios, cycles etc. Based on the feedback, we have now made the ’skills’ open-ended, to include driving training and in other fields that appeal to these personnel.

Modus Operandi

As the bulk of our troops hail from rural areas, they prefer to return to their roots after their service in the defence forces and are not inclined to take up jobs in cities.
