Veterans India | Nation First, Patriot First

About Veterans India

Transforming patriotism into organised nation-building through discipline, leadership, service and responsible citizenship.

Nation First • Patriot First

Veterans India is a national, apolitical and patriotic organisation led by ex-servicemen, committed to transforming patriotism into organised nation-building through discipline, leadership, service and responsible citizenship.

Veterans India brings together veterans, youth, students, citizens, educational institutions, professionals, communities, corporates and other stakeholders on a common platform for constructive national service.

We believe that the values associated with the Armed Forces—discipline, integrity, courage, leadership, teamwork, duty and service before self—can make a meaningful contribution to developing responsible citizens, stronger institutions and resilient communities.

Our purpose is not only to honour those who have served the nation in uniform, but also to enable their experience, leadership and values to continue serving society.
