Rajeev Juneja Contributes ₹9.17 Crore to National Defence Fund

New Delhi, May 12, 2026: Rajeev Juneja has contributed ₹9,17,91,950 to the National Defence Fund, marking the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor and reiterating his support for the Armed Forces.

According to the statement, the contribution amount was intentionally structured. The number 9 represents the nine terror bases targeted during Operation Sindoor, while the remaining digits reference the birth date of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This is the second consecutive year that Rajeev Juneja has made a personal contribution in support of the Armed Forces. The release stated that the contribution reflects his belief that support for defence personnel should continue beyond periods of heightened public attention.

Mr. Rajeev Juneja said, “In moments of crisis, we come together with a strong sense of intent. But as time passes, that intensity often fades. For the Armed Forces, however, the responsibility never changes. Their commitment is constant, regardless of public attention. This contribution is a small way of recognising that continuity. It is not meant to be a one-time gesture, but part of an ongoing effort to support those who serve the nation every day. I also believe that when it comes to the nation, sharing such actions can encourage wider participation. Collective effort creates far greater impact than individual intent.”

The statement also noted that his decision is influenced by personal family history linked to Partition. His family, originally from Bahawalpur, was displaced during the Partition of India, an experience that continues to shape his connection to national issues and support for security forces.

The contribution adds to earlier support initiatives undertaken by Mankind Pharma and its leadership during national emergencies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company extended financial and on-ground support for frontline workers and affected communities, including long-term assistance programmes.

The National Defence Fund supports the welfare of members of the Armed Forces and their dependents, including assistance for families of personnel who lose their lives or are injured while serving the country.
