Dil Ki Baat, Rakhi Ke Saath
दिल की बात, राखी के साथ
Connect students with soldiers through a personal, emotional gesture of gratitude — reminding the Armed Forces that the nation stands with them.
Collection of handmade rakhis and letter messages from students and citizens nationwide, coordinated across partner states, cities and volunteer teams; team visits to border areas to personally deliver rakhis and letters to soldiers.

Our Execution Process
Every rakhi and message that reaches a soldier's hand passes through a careful, three-phase process — designed to make sure the gesture is genuine, safe and delivered with dignity.
Collection
We begin by gathering rakhis, letters and gratitude messages from students and citizens across our partner schools, colleges and cities.
- On-ground collection drives at partner institutions
- Designated collection points and volunteer-led drop-offs
- Digital submission channel for video messages of gratitude
Screening & Security Check
Before anything moves forward, every single item is checked and verified — ensuring nothing reaches our soldiers that shouldn't, and that all material meets Armed Forces security protocols.
- Manual inspection of each rakhi and letter for prohibited items or material
- Sorting and cataloguing of verified contributions
- Coordination with Armed Forces liaison points on permissible content and packaging standards
Dispatch & Delivery
Once cleared, every rakhi and letter begins its final journey — from a student's hands to a soldier's, carried personally by our team.
- Packaging and labelling of cleared items for transport
- Coordinated logistics to border areas
- On-ground, personal delivery by our team, with photo/video documentation for impact verification
