Shakti Paul: A Soldier Serving The Nation Beyond The Borders

Shakti Paul, fondly known as Army Uncle, is a soldier in the Assam Rifles who has been serving the nation since the young age of 18. For years, he has worn the uniform with pride, protecting the country with discipline and courage. But his service doesn’t end at the border.

Beyond his duty as a soldier, Shakti Paul has quietly taken up another mission- one rooted in compassion. For over a decade, he has been running a community kitchen outside hospitals, offering ₹1 biryani meals to patients and their families. Every single day, without fail, he shows up for people who are already fighting some of the hardest battles of their lives.

Because behind every hospital wall, there are families struggling- not just emotionally, but financially. Caretakers who skip meals to afford medicines. Parents who sit on cold floors, unsure of what tomorrow holds. For them, Shakti Paul is more than help, he is hope. He doesn’t just feed them; he stands beside them, often helping patients with treatment support as well.

What makes his story even more powerful is the sacrifice behind it. Despite his own responsibilities, Shakti Paul spends nearly 50% of his earnings to keep this service running. He asks for nothing in return, yet gives everything he can.

This Shaheed Diwas, as we remember the sacrifices of our martyrs, it’s also a moment to recognize those who continue to serve selflessly every single day. Shakti Paul is one such hero, an asset to our society, carrying forward the spirit of service not just in uniform, but in humanity.

He is still sacrificing and serving the nation in every possible way.

But now, he needs us.

By supporting his efforts, you’re not just helping one man, you’re helping countless families who rely on him for a simple meal and a sense of comfort during their toughest days.

This Shaheed Diwas, Stand with a hero who never stopped serving. Support Shakti Paul!
