WHY AFWHO
WHY AFWHO
The Armed Forces Welfare Housing Organization (AFWHO) is a dedicated, service-oriented entity established with the primary objective of initiating, promoting, and executing welfare initiatives for serving and retired personnel of the Armed Forces, including members of the Paramilitary, Police Forces, Central/State Governments, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Registered under Section 1882 of the relevant Act, AFWHO operates strictly in accordance with its provisions, upholding them in both letter and spirit.
AFWHO’s core mission is to enhance the welfare of our men and women in uniform by facilitating access to affordable housing. This includes negotiating and arranging exclusive residential projects—such as plots, apartments, flats, independent floors, and farmhouses—tailored to meet the unique needs of community living for our personnel. Special focus is given to serving members stationed in remote locations who face challenges in fulfilling their housing aspirations due to service-related constraints. AFWHO enables them to acquire homes at locations of their choice, within their financial reach.
In addition, AFWHO supports the provision of vacation homes for individuals and families seeking a peaceful retreat from daily life. Whether a beach house, mountain cabin, or countryside villa, these homes provide a tranquil environment to relax, rejuvenate, and create cherished memories. They offer an opportunity to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature and loved ones.
While AFWHO does not engage in the direct development or construction of housing projects, it plays a crucial role in negotiating with reputed builders and developers to secure the best possible rates without compromising on construction quality. Through these efforts, AFWHO consistently achieves pricing well below prevailing market rates, ensuring affordability for beneficiaries.
The organization is led by retired officers of the Indian Defence Services, supported by a team of experienced professionals from diverse fields, collectively working towards the noble cause of service welfare.
