New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday launched a website that will enable citizens to contribute to the Armed Forces Battle Casualties Welfare Fund (AFBCWF).
AFBCWF is a tri-service fund, which is utilised for grant of immediate financial assistance of ex-gratia to the families of our soldiers, sailors and airmen who lay down their lives or get grievously injured in active military operations, a senior Army official said.

Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande, in his address, said in the face of challenges, all three services of the armed forces have performed their duty diligently.
”And, soldiers are the base of this glorious tradition,” he said.
”This website will help in providing economic aid in a ”transparent and simple manner,” Gen Pande said.
