In a heartening display of compassion and collaboration, the Indian Army, in conjunction with the Indrani Balan Foundation based in Pune, has successfully facilitated life-saving surgery for Master Burhan, a 9-year-old student from Baramulla.
Master Burhan, a pupil at Dagger Parivaar School in Baramulla under the administration of the Indian Army’s Dagger Division and the Indrani Balan Foundation, was diagnosed with a critical cardiac condition. However, financial constraints stood as a significant obstacle to accessing necessary medical treatment.

Through close collaboration with medical experts from the Indian Army and the Indrani Balan Foundation in Pune, arrangements were made for Burhan’s treatment at the Army Hospital Research and Referral Hospital in Delhi Cantt. Despite the complexities involved in medical procedures and associated expenses, the joint efforts ensured that Burhan received the necessary care without delay.
The successful outcome of Master Burhan’s surgery is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Indian Army and the Indrani Balan Foundation to extend humanitarian aid and ensure access to vital medical care for individuals in need. This collaborative endeavor reaffirms their dedication to serving the community and upholding the values of compassion and service.
