The Armed Forces Flag Day is observed on December 7 every year.
The day is meant to honour martyrs, and the brave soldiers that serve this country. Also known as India's Flag Day, the day is dedicated to raising funds from Indian citizens for the welfare of the Indian Army.
Established in August 1949, India has celebrated this day of significance every year. Flag Day was created when India had just gained independence and the welfare of soldiers had to be looked after.
On this day, Indian flags were distributed to the public in exchange for a small donation. The government established the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund (AFFDF) to aid in the welfare and rehabilitation of ex-servicemen (ESM). There are around 32 lakh ESM, with an additional 60,000 added each year owing to superannuation.
