The Mzurisana Foundation stands for "Trust
of Ex servicemen". The need was felt by the
Trust to create the Mzurisana Foundation to bring about a change
in the perception about the Forces and the men who are an
integral part of it. Today the nation and the people of
the country perceive the Forces as an organization which
is committed to safeguard the borders and whose members,
if the situation demands, are ready to sacrifice their lives
for the country.
After service a soldier, known as a ”°FAUJI”±,
is either used for security services or treated as one who
does not understand how the civil society works. Therefore
a need was felt to make the Nation aware of the outstanding
achievements of Ex Servicemen and their children and also
to make the ordinary citizen of this country realize the
humungous contribution of the Ex Servicemen and their families
to the nation's Progress, Prestige and Honor. We have amongst
us Captain Gopinath of Air Deccan, Priyanka Chopra,
General Khanduri, Sushmita Sen, Jeev Milkha Singh, Renuka
Choudhary, Jaswant Singh, Capt. Amrinder Singh, Brig. Bhawani
Singh, Priety Zinta and Capt. Nair to name a few
who have made a name and built an empire of their own. This
would be done by inviting application from Retired Service
Officers, JCOӮs and Men of Army, Air force, Navy and
there children enumerating there outstanding achievements
in any of the following fields such as sports, politics,
business, social service, entertainment, education etc.
A Board of Governors has been constituted whose eleven members
are all illustrious figures. They will make the final selection
of outstanding achievers in various fields from amongst
the applicants. The Foundation will honour the outstanding
achievers at a national level function that will be held
annually.
We request all those who feel that the cause and achievements
of The Ex servicemen, their children and widows need to
be highlighted become member of The Foundation. They would
be able to help us in its organization, motivation and any
of the activity which are suggested by the members in elevating
the cause of The Ex Servicemen.
The National level function to honor the outstanding
achievers carries in each category Cash
Prize, A Medal of Honor and Citation.
The Awards will be known as " Living Legends
Awards "
All the achievements of all the participants in different
categories would be compiled into a book form which would
be produced as a historical record of the contributions
of soldiers not only in the times of war and peace but also
after having hung there boots and by their children. Hope
that all of you would help The Foundation to succeed in
its endeavour in bringing about the best in front of The
Nation by telling them that we appreciate their contribution
to The Nation building. We would appreciate if you
make it an integral part of you and help us to do things
better.
