PROJECT: Operation CARE - Help Families of Kargil
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about the Project
Distribution of Funds - Report - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
The Project Operation Care is designed to help bereaved families of those killed or wounded soldiers in Kargil action. The India Network collected funds at the request of several members and disbursed the funds during July/August 1999. There are few requests pending from the Army Base Hospital for improvements to facilities at the hospital such as providing air-conditing units to care critical areas, certain equipment, and Television sets in the wards. Also more than 200 families remain to be assisted from Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and others. Since the state governments, central government, and public in India are providing substantial support, it is thought that the funds can be better utilized by establishing a trust fund to help children's education or other needed assistance in future. If members are interested in contributing to the above, you may send a check made payable to India Network and mail to our office. In sum, INF provided financial assistance of Rs. 10,000 to the widows/Next of Kin of those killed and Rs. 5000/ to wounded soldiers.
