NEW DELHI: After yoga skills, BSF troops will use products prepared by Baba Ramdev-promoted ‘Patanjali’ FMCG brand as the border guarding force is set to open over a dozen such stores in its campuses across the country.
The first such ‘shop’ was today inaugurated at a Border Security Force (BSF) camp here in the national capital.
The BSF Wives Welfare Association (BWWA) has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with “Patanjali Ayurved Limited, Haridwar for sale of items of Patanjali through BWWA Patanjali shops spread across various BSF locations all over India.”
A BSF statement said the MoU also has a provision for discounts on sale to the country’s largest border guarding force personnel and their families.
“It is a kind gesture of Pantanjali Ayurved Limited, Haridwar to sell various Patanjali products at discounted prices varying from 15 per cent-28 per cent,” it said.
More such stores, under the aegis of BWWA, will be opened at BSF’s campuses in Agartala, Tekanpur (Gwalior), Guwahati, Jodhpur, Siliguri, Jalandhar, Kolkata, Jammu, Bangalore, Silchar, Ahmedabad, Hazaribagh and Indore.
