Design Elements
The visual composition serves as a humble homage to the nation’s troops. The design is centered around the slogan “Jai Jawan”. This slogan was famously popularized by Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri during the 1965 conflict to boost the morale of the nation and its military. The text is typically accompanied by representations of the armed forces’ valour on the frontline.
