I married my husband in 2000 and entered the folds of the Indian Army and into a lifelong partnership with my husband, a decorated soldier embracing the responsibilty that came with it. I gracefully accepted the challenges of frequent postings, long periods of separation, and the uncertainties that come with life in uniformed service. I have been a huge support not only to my husband but also to the extened army family. I have regularly engaged in army welfare programs, focus on well being of soldier's families , especially childen and widows, through educational initiatives, vocational training, cultural activities in the cantonment area.
