We're here for you now

Honouring the past, looking to the future.

"We all belong to each other. We all need each other. It is in serving each other and in sacrificing for our common good that we are finding our true life."

Welcome to the War Widows Association

The War Widows Association (India) is over 52 years old and has continued to grow in strength. We are a support group and institutional body that ensures war widows (Veer Naries) and their families receive the respect, entitlements, and assistance they deserve.

We welcome all Veer Naries with open arms — Ek Pyaar aur Dard ka Rishta, a relationship of love and pain. We work in coordination with the Ministry of Defence and government bodies to support the families of our nation's defence personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
