REC contributes Rs 200 million to Armed Forces Flag Day Fund for welfare of martyrs’ families and ex-servicemen’s children

REC , a Maharatna CPSE under the Ministry of Power and a leading non-banking financial company, has extended a CSR grant of Rs 200 million to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund (AFFDF). The contribution, made through REC Foundation—its CSR arm—will support the education of 16,667 children of ex-servicemen, martyrs, and war widows from the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. 

The support was formalised through a Memorandum of Agreement signed between Shri Pradeep Fellows, Executive Director (CSR), REC Limited, and Brigadier D.S. Basera, Secretary, Kendriya Sainik Board, during a ceremony held in New Delhi. 

In the last two financial years, REC Foundation has contributed a total of Rs 30 crore to the AFFDF. This latest initiative underlines REC’s enduring commitment to nation-building and social equity, particularly towards those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the country. 

Through its ongoing CSR interventions, REC continues to channel support into impactful programmes that align with national priorities, including education, welfare of armed forces personnel, and empowerment of marginalised communities.
