New Delhi, July 25 (IANS) In a unique blend of patriotism, environmental consciousness, and youth outreach, the ‘Shaurya Bharat Car Rally’ was flagged off on Friday from Air Force Station, New Delhi by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh.

The rally is being organised by the Progress Harmony Development Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) in collaboration with the Indian Air Force.

With the theme ‘Rashtra Ka Maan, Shaurya Ke Saath, Paryavaran Ka Vikas’, the rally aims to honour the valour of the Armed Forces and commemorate the success of ‘Operation Sindoor’.

The outreach will focus on instilling values such as courage, discipline, and patriotism among the youth. The event reflects a broader vision of integrating national pride with modern green initiatives, while also building bridges between the Armed Forces and the younger generation.

By celebrating military courage and pushing for environmental sustainability, the Shaurya Bharat Car Rally stands as a symbol of India’s evolving defence ethos – one rooted in tradition, yet forward-looking.

The rally will conclude at Air Force Station Adampur on Sunday, marking a significant tribute to the Armed Forces and a strong statement on India’s journey towards green mobility.
