The Railway Protection Force (RPF) launched the ‘Digital Memorial of Valour’ in New Delhi, a unique initiative aimed at honoring the courageous personnel who have sacrificed their lives for the nation. This digital platform allows citizens to pay tribute to martyrs by adorning their photos with digital wreaths and candles.
A Heartfelt Tribute to Heroes
The ‘Digital Memorial of Valour’ website (www.digitalmemorialofvalour.in) provides a solemn space for reflection and remembrance. Visitors can honor the sacrifices of RPF heroes by digitally placing wreaths and candles on their photos. The platform features the names, ranks, and photographs of 14 martyrs who lost their lives in the past year, along with a comprehensive list of 1,011 martyrs from the RPF and RPSF who have made the ultimate sacrifice over the years.
Supporting Digital Engagement
Aligned with the government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative, the memorial caters to those who may not be able to attend physical commemorative events, ensuring broader participation in honoring these heroes. Users can also subscribe to a digital copy of the ‘Compendium of Martyrs in RPF,’ set to be released on October 28, 2024. This compendium will chronicle the stories of RPF personnel who have served and sacrificed for the nation.
Words of Gratitude
During the launch, Shri Manoj Yadava, Director General of RPF, expressed profound gratitude, stating, “Each of these heroes has laid down their lives so others could live safely. This memorial is a humble token of our everlasting gratitude and a reminder that their legacy of valour will never fade. Their courage and sacrifice will forever stand as a beacon of inspiration.”
