The birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, celebrated on January 23rd, is a day of immense significance for India. Known as one of the greatest freedom fighters, Netaji’s life and work embody courage, determination, and patriotism. For Child Help Foundation, this day is an opportunity to not only honour his legacy but also to inspire children with his unwavering spirit and vision for a free and empowered India.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was a leader who dreamt of a self-reliant India, a nation built on equality and justice. His famous slogan, “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom,” resonates with the power of collective effort and selfless sacrifice. Born in 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Netaji's ideals were shaped by his education and deep-rooted sense of responsibility toward his nation. His leadership of the Indian National Army (INA) showed the world that with unity and determination, even the most challenging obstacles can be overcome.
For organizations like Child Help Foundation, Netaji’s life serves as a guiding light. He envisioned a nation where every individual, regardless of their background, had the right to education, dignity, and opportunity. At CHF, we work tirelessly to uplift underprivileged communities and children, ensuring they have access to resources that empower them to build brighter futures.
