Support This Retired Colonel In Uttarakhand In Training Future Heroes of the Nation
Project
The unwavering courage and sacrifice of our brave soldiers inspires millions of young Indians to dream of donning the uniform and serving the country. But for many youths, especially in remote areas like Uttarakhand, this dream remains out of reach. Lack of proper training and resources often becomes the biggest hurdle.
This is where the Youth Foundation, led by Col. (Retd.) Ajay Kothiyal, steps in. Born out of a heartfelt plea from villagers during the Uttarakhand floods, the foundation trains young boys and girls for Indian Army recruitment—giving them hope, purpose, and a chance to serve the nation.
A Legacy of Service and Dedication
Col. Kothiyal, a decorated soldier with Kirti Chakra, Shaurya Chakra, and Vishisht Seva Medal, started this mission with his savings, training the first batch of 32 cadets. Today, the foundation operates 8 camps annually, providing rigorous physical and mental training to hundreds of youth with the help of retired Army personnel.
One of them is 21-year-old Ayush, who joined the camp to prepare for the Agniveer physical exam. Inspired by his brother in the Army, Ayush says, “This camp not only trains us but transforms us. We’ve become brothers from strangers, sharing a bond that will last a lifetime.”
As these young cadets gear up for recruitment this December, you can play a role in their success. Your contribution can help provide:
Groceries for their meals
Shoes for rigorous training
Sportswear (T-shirts, lowers, and caps)
Let’s Honour Our Heroes By Building The Future Of Our Armed Forces
These aspiring soldiers, trained by Youth Foundation under the guidance of Col. (Retd.) Ajay Kothiyal, are preparing to join the Indian Army. With your support, they can overcome challenges and achieve their dreams of serving the nation.
About the NGO: After the 2013 floods, Col. Kothiyal founded the Youth Foundation Uttarakhand to transform underprivileged youth into skilled professionals and passionate nation-builders. Through free training programs, the NGO has helped countless individuals secure jobs and a brighter future.
