Stories from India: Soldiers’ uniforms find a second life as school bags for children
A soldier’s uniform, often called a “second skin,” is a symbol of pride, honour and discipline. For this reason, these uniforms deserve a farewell that is just as dignified as the service they represent. Major General (Retd) Ashim Kohli has turned this idea into reality. Under his initiative, old Indian military uniforms are being recycled into school bags for children, along with other useful items such as masks and mobile phone holders, giving these symbols of service a meaningful second life.
