We are in the process of gathering additional information about this fallen soldier and are putting painstaking efforts in scouring the data available in public domain, towards that end. You may appreciate that it is a humongous task to curate the information about all the martyrs since 1947 and the endeavor demands huge amount of time and resources. Thus, we need the support of the martyr’s family members, former Unit or Formation colleagues, other comrades and friends in this regard. Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational. The information may be in the form of text, photographs or video clips and may be sent as and when available, since the information is dynamically updated.
We would immensely appreciate your valuable assistance in sharing your knowledge about the inspirational journey of this spirited soldier. We look forward to your help in our mission of spreading awareness about the sacrifices of the fallen heroes of our Armed Forces, who gave it all for our brighter tomorrow.

2025 at 8:17 pm2 Lt Kamal Gambhir was my classmate in Ispat Public School, Rourkela during the period 1964 to 1966 (9th to 11h Standard Indian School Certificate syllabus). His father worked in Rourkela Steel Plant and he had a younger brother Kishore Gambhir who was also a student in the same school. I was aware that he was in the army. He attained martyrdom in the 1971 war when I was in 4th year of engineering in REC (now NIT) Rourkela. Kamal had a very pleasing personality and I still remember his smiling face.
