Nestled in the heart of the capital, the ‘Amar Jawaan Petrol Pump’ stands as a unique symbol of patriotism, not only honoring fallen soldiers with a 24-hour ‘Amar Jawaan Jyoti’ but also weaving their legacy into the very fabric of its operation.
A holistic approach to support
Beyond the pump’s tribute, a significant portion of its earnings is dedicated to funding the education of martyrs’ children. Recently, in the aftermath of the Naxal attack in Bijapur, the pump extended its support to the education of the five martyred soldiers’ offspring, whether in government schools or private institutions.
A guardian’s responsibility
Harish Bhai Joshi, the owner of the petrol pump, emphasizes that the guardianship of our nation’s security is a shared responsibility. With soldiers protecting us 24/7, it’s only fitting that we take care of their families’ educational needs in return.
A shared duty
Just as martyred soldiers dedicate their lives for our security, society’s duty extends to taking care of their families. Hence, the inception of ‘Amar Jawaan Petrol Pump’ was born, where not a single rupee of the earnings is kept for personal gain.
Illuminating the walls with patriotism
The walls of the petrol pump are adorned with slogans of patriotism, a powerful testament to its commitment to the nation. The slogans remind us to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our country, highlighting the unwavering dedication of both soldiers and the pump’s management.
Providing beyond fuel
With an intention to provide more than just fuel, the petrol pump plans to open a restaurant adjacent to its premises. This eatery will offer free meals to police personnel, soldiers, and even ascetics, further solidifying the pump’s commitment to serving those who serve the nation.
Extending a helping hand
The pump’s operators have established communication with an organization that aids ex-servicemen in Raipur. This partnership ensures efficient assistance to the families of fallen soldiers. Moreover, the pump encourages direct contact for those in need, further reinforcing its dedication to the cause.
In a world where the echoes of patriotism reverberate through its walls, ‘Amar Jawaan Petrol Pump’ stands not only as a beacon of honor but also as a tangible embodiment of the nation’s collective responsibility to care for its defenders’ families.
