By giving rakhees to the Indian Army, individuals have the opportunity to express their gratitude and connection to the selfless warriors who safeguard our borders.

How to Send Rakhees to the Indian Army

Yes, you can send rakhees to the Indian Army, but it's important to be aware of the deadline. Sending such gifts on festival days requires early planning. Try next year if you find yourself too late this time.

Supporting Our Soldiers with Heartwarming Gestures

Your thoughtful gesture of sending rakhees to our brave soldiers, despite their continuous service and dedication, is truly touching. This festival isn't just about honoring family; it's a chance to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our military personnel. Their selfless service on the borders, even during holidays and festivals, is remarkable.

Utilizing Official Channels for Effective Delivery

If you're concerned about how to send these rakhees, you needn't worry. The Indian Postal Service and Army Postal Service are well-equipped to handle such deliveries in an efficient manner.

Simply mark the cover of the envelope with bold text: RAKHHEE FOR SOLDIERS. Address it to Indian Army Soldiers C/O 56 APO or C/O 99 APO. Here's how the process works:

56 APO covers most of the soldiers from north to south and the western region. 99 APO handles the eastern region, including West Bengal, Sikkim, and the seven North Eastern states.

The Indian Post will hand over the rakhees to the Army Post, which then ensures that these are evenly distributed to the soldiers on the front lines.

Many more kind-hearted individuals like you are joining this initiative, making it a significant part of the soldiers' lives during this festive time.

Other Ways to Support the Warriors

Some individuals or organizations also participate in these initiatives. If you're looking for more ways to support the soldiers, feel free to connect with them. Your contributions can make a world of difference.

Remember, the spirit of Rakshabandhan is not just about giving; it's about spreading love and appreciation to those who defend our nations with their lives.

Lastly, let's keep our spirits high and our hearts full of gratitude as we celebrate Rakshabandhan together with the brave souls of our Indian Army.
