Maa Bharati Ke Sapoot is a website run by India's Ministry of Defence to benefit members of Indian Armed Forces.[1] Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launched it in 2022, so that the public can contribute directly to the Armed Forces Battle Casualties Welfare Fund (AFBCWF).[2]
AFBCWF is a Tri-Service fund of Army, Air Force and Navy, utilized for immediate assistance to the families of military personnel who get killed in action or get grievously injured in operations.[3] Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan is the ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ of the initiative.[4]
