Girl from Nadiad, helping the family of martyred soldiers of the country

Vidhi Jadhav from Nadiad has so far visited hundreds of soldiers’ families. When a soldier is martyred while serving the country, she immediately plans to meet and help the bereaved family.

Often if no donor is found, Vidhi’s family carries on the activity of benevolence towards the soldier’s family of helping them. She had undertaken these activities from an early age and has helped the families of martyred soldiers.

The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Vijay Rupani, after receiving the information of this service by Vidhi, cordially invited Vidhi to Gandhinagar and got detailed information of her activities in a courtesy call. She was honored for her inspiring expression of patriotism.

The Chief Minister discussed in detail and appreciated Vidhi’s sensitive work. Vidhi also tied a rakhi on the wrist of CM Vijay Rupani.

She writes a letter of consolation to the family of the martyred soldier and sends money to them. So far she has sent such letters and helped 295 families of martyred soldiers.

She had written a letter to all the families of 40 soldiers who were martyred in the Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir and sent Rs. 11,000 to each family and contacted them telephonically. She regularly communicates with them via WhatsApp asking them about their well-being. She also communicates with their young children. Out of these martyred families, she has visited more than 112 families in person. Jadav has already visited all the families of the martyrs of the attack at Uri. 10 of these martyred families have also visited her Nadiad home.

Vidhi has so far attended the unveiling of statues of 10 martyrs in different states. She has so far visited a total of 4 borders of Gujarat and Rajasthan during the festivals.

She has handed over a cheque of Rs. 51,000 to Kheda Collector in the CM fund during Covid 19 pandemic last year. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has also conferred Vidhi Jadhav with the State Youth Award.

Vidhi is given special permission to visit the borders of the country to celebrate Rakshabandhan with the soldiers. Vidhi Jadhav will celebrate the sacred Rakshabandhan festival with the Indian Army personnel on duty at the India-Pakistan International Border (Sir creek area) on the Kutch border on 21st and 22nd August 2021.

On 21st, she will tie Rakhi to soldiers at the Vighakot border and spend the day with them including a visit to the Vighakot fort. After that, she will visit the BSF’s War Memorial in memory of the 1965 India-Pakistan war and will also tie rakhis to the troops there.

On 22nd, she will visit the last pillar of the India-Pakistan International Border. The area is muddy and can be reached by a special Army vehicle. Citizens are forbidden to go to this place so Vidhi is allowed to go to this area and will tie rakhis to soldiers there. After that, she will visit the Guneri border post near Lakhpat and celebrate the festival with them. The whole visit has been approved by the Border Security Force, where Vidhi will stay for two days and celebrate Rakshabandhan with the soldiers.
