Veer Ratna Foundation

We are a public charitable trust based in Bangalore working towards empowering & transforming families of battle casualties (meaning soldiers who have died in wars and attributable causes).

The foundation was set up in 2007 by Mrs Subhashini in memory of Col Vasanth V AC, who was immortalised as commanding officer of 9 Maratha Light Infantry on 31st July, 2007 in OP RAKSHAK at Uri, J&K while fighting against terrorists. He is the first posthumous Ashoka Chakra recipient in Karnataka.

We started our work with the families of Jawans and Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO) of the Army who were killed in action in the service of the nation during war or war-like situation. An recently expanded the scope of our programs to include Navy, Air force and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF).  

As we evolved, now we engage not just with veer naari but also with her children through a series of unique experiential empowerment and other enablement programs.
