Burdwan :
Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (DCBL), one of India’s leading cement
manufacturers, commemorated the 78th anniversary of Nation with ‘Saluting
78’ a tribute honouring the fraternity of war veterans and
ex-servicemen from the armed forces across Eastern India. In ceremonies that
brought communities together, the company paid homage to the courage and
sacrifice of 78 veterans from Bihar,
Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand.
In
West Bengal, 21 ex-servicemen from diverse backgrounds were felicitated for
their exemplary courage and dedicated service to the nation. Among them was Vice Admiral Bimalendu Guha, PVSM, AVSM, IN
(Retd), honoured for his distinguished naval career and leadership during
pivotal operations, including the 1971 Bangladesh War. His service stands as a
proud reflection of West Bengal’s enduring contribution to India’s defence and
maritime strength.
Each
veteran received a plaque, a trophy, a shawl, the Indian National Flag, and a
commemorative album featuring all 78 honoured veterans. The gathering saw
enthusiastic participation from citizens, schoolchildren, community leaders,
and other distinguished guests.
Commenting on the initiative, spokesperson for
Dalmia Cement said, "For over 85
years, Dalmia Cement has stood not just for building infrastructure, but for
upholding the values that unite our nation. With ‘Saluting 78’, the brand collectively honours this esteemed
fraternity of veterans whose courage and sacrifice form the bedrock of our
freedom. This initiative reaffirms our commitment to building not only enduring
structures but also a strong, united, and resilient India."
As
a symbolic gesture, Dalmia Cement also undertook a podium restoration drive,
refurbishing 78 flag podiums in schools and other public spaces across India,
ensuring the tricolour continues to inspire pride, unity, and patriotism for
generations to come. ‘Saluting 78’ embodies
Dalmia Cement’s 85-year legacy of nation-building and ongoing commitment to
