Air Force Wives Welfare Association:

It is the core welfare organisation for the families of the Indian Air Force.

The 1965 war had an adverse effect on the families of Air Warriors. Not only the trauma but also the availability of physical and emotional support in destitute times was the need of the hour.

It was then that the seed of forming an organization which would come to the forefront for helping a lady and her family came to the mind of our pioneers.

It was formed on the 28^th October, 1970 to provide assistance to the families of deceased / disabled/ retired / serving personnel of the Indian Air Force.

To empowerment of its members known as Sanginis, holistic development of the children, extending helping hand to the needy sections of the society are few of its primary objectives.

The Association’s contribution to the senior citizens, special children and orphans over the years deserves special mention.
