SALUTE TO MARTYRS
Salute to Martyrs’ program intends to provide support to the children of those Martyrs of the military, Para-military and police personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty and war widows to lead a dignified life. The program works closely with the families of these children, local institutions and government bodies to improve the welfare of these children. Our Program focuses on the intellectual, physical and emotional growth of these children and mothers. Salute to Martyrs is well aligned with Sustainable Development Goal no 4 –“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunity for all.

JEEVAN SAHARA
A FINANCIAL INVESTMENT PLAN FOR OUR MARTYRS FAMILIES
We create more sustainable ways for martyrs families from low income backgrounds to access banking services so they can better manage their money for improving their income potential. We can also ensure young people have opportunities to find meaningful employment so they can prosper and thrive. Low- income martyrs families in India face many barriers to accessing formal banking services. Many lack the information or assets necessary to sign up for services. Many others find these services too unfamiliar and challenging to use effectively.
Together with our interns, we make it easier for families to access financial services so they can grow their business and save for the future . Gautam Gambhir Foundation, in collaboration with one of its previous interns, Arhaan Gulati, has taken up an investment project ” Jeevan Sahara” for the families of Indian martyrs under our flagship program Salute to Martyrs. The aim is to augment the incomes of families through investment in different financial instruments. By raising money through crowdfunding, it will be distributed amongst the 10 families. The project is capital-guaranteed along with the investments. Envisioning a holistic financial development, there is an effort to spread financial literacy through transparent and collaborative methods and weekly workshops. It can help families to care for their needs and seek better health and education for their children .
