Regardless of his age, he
has taken up this unique activity, named ‘Atmanitbhar Bharat Run’, to
set a new world record. It is also to spread awareness and raise funds for the
disabled soldiers, said a Jammu-based defence spokesperson. Ajwani also aims to raise awareness on quality education and upgrading tribal schools.
He also wants to spread the message of “one India and united India”
through this run. Ajwani is founder-director of an NGO called the Team FAB
foundation.
On the 3rd day of his campaign, Ajwani started running from the
Patnitop hill resort in Udhampur district, reaching Sainik Bhawan, where he was
given a warm welcome by Sainik Welfare Department at Jammu and Kashmir.
A defence spokesperson said that he was flagged off from the office of
Rajya Sainik Board by its director Brigadier Gurmeet Singh Shan. Many ex-servicemen
were present at this event. Ajwani has previously covered a lot of intercity, interstate
runs for social causes and has also been actively raising funds for needy
through his runs.
