The website, Bharat Ke Veer, was launched two year ago on the Valour Day of the CRPF. It was Akshay Kumar's idea to officially provide a degree of financial security to the kin of our soldiers, who make the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

Akshay's involvement with Barat Ke Veer is deep-rooted and personal. He says, "I am an army man's son and probably, deep down in my heart, I wanted to follow my father's footsteps. I stepped into show business, but my heart lies with the armed forces. Whenever I see men and women in uniform, I am filled with pride and also a sense of responsibility."
