About Us

Soldiers Independent Rehabilitation Foundation, better known as ‘SIRF’ is one of those exceptional initiatives that not only lends a helping hand and kind support to the families of shahid soldiers, families of martyred and disabled soldiers, but also felicitates the families of the martyred and disabled soldiers by organising felicitation ceremonies to ensure that the bravery and courage of the real heros of our country reaches the common masses and inspires the youth of our country to join the Armed Forces and be a soldier.

Officially incepted in the year 2017, and led by two visionaries, Shri. Yogesh Chithade (Ex.IAF) and Mrs. Sumedha Chithade (Teacher by profession) they are proud parents of an army officer. ‘SIRF’ has its roots laid way back in the year 1999 when the latter visited a small ceremony being held at Queen Mary Technical Institute (Government Organization Kirkee, Pune) (working towards the welfare of the disabled soldiers) along with a couple of her students on the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan. In spite of their disabilities, the patriotic pride that every soldier had on his face, and their generosity to gift every girl that tied a Rakhi on their wrists, inspired Mrs. Sumedha Chithade to pursue her passion to serve the soldiers of our country and their families.
