Major General Ashim Kohli (Retired) was hell bent on finding an answer to "How does one dispose of their uniforms with dignity?" It was then he started a non-governmental organisation 'Sewaj Neesim Foundation' with the theme 'Vardi ka Samman' that is respecting the uniform. Sewaj stands for SEna WAyu Jal - the three services that make up the armed forces. Usha and Sewaj Neesim Foundation now upcycle old armed forces uniforms into things of use.
