Shree Cements Offers Free Cement to Martyrs’ Families
Shree Cement Ltd. has announced the commencement of “Project Naman”, a national initiative to provide cement free of cost to the families of Armed Forces Personnel martyred in the past twenty years. The roll-out of this project comes as a run up to Vijay Diwas which is observed every year on 16 December to mark India’s victory over Pakistan in the Bangladesh War in 1971 and remember the sacrifices of Indian soldiers. Under the Naman scheme, the family or the next of kin (NOK) of the martyrs who laid down their lives in battle between 1 January 1999 to 1 January 2019 (20 years), would be provided cement free of cost to build a house on a plot size area of up to 4000 sq ft. Family of a martyr needs to procure the cement in person from any of Shree Cement’s manufacturing facilities in India. The scheme is being implemented in association with Kendriya Sainik Board and executed by the Rajya Sainik Boards (RSBs) and Zilla Sainik Boards (ZSBs), Ministry of Defence. Ms. Sunita Devi and Ms. Sudesh, family members of martyrs, were among the first beneficiaries of Naman to be handed over release orders, the company said.
