Grandparents had taken part in the freedom struggle
Retired but active teacher Ilaben Rajguru said, My maternal grandparents had participated in the freedom struggle. As a freedom fighter, he endured the oppression of the British and also went to jail. I have grown up watching the events of that time. That’s why I used to think of doing something for the Indian Army since childhood. Because of which I am doing this service today and instead of spending on other useless things on my birthday, I am providing financial support to the families of soldiers who are protecting the country. Both my sons and both daughters-in-law are also social workers. I make a small financial gift to the soldier’s family from the pension amount. I go to Dang Ahwa to teach tribal children and am also providing free service.
