Akshay Kumar launches website to help the families of Army personnel.
While celebrating CRPF Valour Day on Sunday, the government launched the new website, ‘bharatkeveer.gov.in’ at Vigyan Bhawan in the presence of Home Minister Rajanth Singh. Also present at the occasion was Akshay Kumar who had come up with the idea of the website by which the general public could donate money to families of martyrs of central paramilitary forces.
People can now donate up to Rs 15 lakh to the families of the martyred jawans and officers of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPGs) via the website.
Speaking at the event, Akshay said, “Today, I am here between you not as an actor, but as the son of an Army officer."
An emotional Akshay expressed himself by posting pictures and a message on social media after the event.
