Army Association Trust in remote village
trains youths to enrol in Armed Forces
By M.T. Yogesh Kumar
If Maartalli in Chamarajanagar District bordering Tamil Nadu rings a bell in the ears thanks to forest brigand Veerappan menace and the infamous Kichguth Maramma Temple mass food poisoning tragedy, a group of ex-servicemen is striving hard to erase the blemish or call it a black mark acquired by the village knowingly or unknowingly.
The group of soldiers want to regain Maartalli’s distinction by producing a large number of soldiers and contributing substantially to the Armed Forces. Since ages, the village one of the backward areas of Karnataka has produced hundreds of soldiers and serving the nation is next to Godliness serving the Nation is like serving God.
