CAREER WISE
Here we are in the month of August: the month of independence, patriotism and solidarity. This is the month when we honour our nation and our freedom fighters and martyrs. But do we ever think of those heroes who assist our soldiers in defending the nation? In order to give them a thought, CareerWise has brought to you an article that celebrates the valour of these unsung heroes. Come, be a part of this elite squad. How? Let’s find out!
