Tazurba | Wing Commodore KL Kapoor (Retd.) | Giving Wings to Underprivileged Children

In the 13th Episode of the programme, Radio Dwarka invited Wing Commodore KL Kapoor (Retd.) to know more about his illustrious journey in the Air Force and life post retirement.
Born in Gujranwala, Pakistan, his family moved to Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, India after Partition; he started his life from scratch here. He stayed in huts in the refugee camp along with his brothers and parents, and it was hard to make ends meet during those days. A brilliant student, he wanted to continue his studies, so his father sent him to study in Jabalpur, and he completed his engineering from the Jabalpur Engineering College in 1967 and joined the Air Force as a pilot officer in 1968. He served his first posting in Kanchrapara, Bangladesh.
"I am privileged to have served the nation during 1971 War," he said.
He served at the Air Force Station in Vadodara in Gujarat, Surajgarh in Rajasthan, Halwara and Ludhiana in Punjab, and Vayu Bhawan in New Delhi. Kapoor took premature retirement in 1993.
He has two sons both of whom are well settled; he is blessed with four grandchildren.
Today, he is actively associated with Bal Vihar Children's Home in Sector 1, Dwarka, as Director. "There are 25 orphans who stay here. We take care of them, their food, education and even their wedding."
Apart from this, Kapoor is also associated with Sadhu Sunder Singh Welfare Society, RWA Defence Enclave Tajpur Goyla Khurd, and SW Delhi Ex-Servicemen Association.
As a soldier, he lives for Sarvajana Hitaye and loves to serve the society and make a difference in the lives of the common people.
