Guided by the values of caring and sharing and with strong leadership support from Late Gen J M Vohra, PVSM, SM, Ex. DG Armoured Corps (Retd.), I launched the first PSS (Profit Sharing Scheme), wherein 75% of profits would be shared amongst investors and 25% to be retained by the company. Losses, if any, would be borne entirely by the company. The project also created employment opportunities—a way to stay active, meaningful, and useful to other veterans, in addition to those pooling initial resources.
This was the birth of the Veteran Defence Forces Group (VDFG): To ‘Re-Discover the Force Within.’
In our Pathankot township project, Defence Colony, 51 shareholders, or PSS members, earned a return of 700% per annum on their investment. This was a big demonstration of small forces joining together and achieving greater results.
Motivated by the success of this project, another project, Green Orchards, was executed at Palwal, Haryana. The rest is history—37 years old.
Today, VDFG is an organisation geared to providing not just economic strength but also building strong social foundations. A large part of our resources goes towards CSR initiatives, especially the promotion of yoga and wellness and the empowerment of the marginalised sections of the community.
We are proud that our foundation is built on trust, quality, and well-being.
