Armed Forces Flag Day is observed annually on December 7 to honor the contributions of the Indian Armed Forces in protecting the nation. It’s a day to express gratitude to the soldiers, veterans, and martyrs who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding India. The day is marked by the distribution of flags and fund collections to support the welfare of ex-servicemen, war widows, and their families.

 

Various programs across the country, including flag-selling drives, awareness campaigns, and ceremonies, acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of the armed forces. Schools and institutions organize events to educate students about the importance of the military in securing India's borders and maintaining peace.
