We had made a celebrated documentary 'Sons of Vikrant' which captured stories and experiences of senior naval officers who served on INS Vikrant. We are pleased to announce the launch of Mission Vikrant 1971 which is the biggest ever countrywide search for the 1971 Vikrant war veterans. We would like to record their stories for posterity, and present it to the country. The campaign is unique as it will use digital and social media to urge every Indian to help in the search."
The campaign was launched on the occasion of this year's Independence on August 15, 2016. The intent of the campaign is to reach 150 lakh people over the next 40 days. So spread the message to honour the war veterans.
