A Peek At The New Ismaili Volunteers Motto, Badge, And Uniform
December 5, 2022 | Canada
Mawlana Hazar Imam has approved a set of new guidelines for our uniformed volunteers who render service day in, day out, in Jamatkhanas and beyond.
The ethic of voluntary service has a long-enduring history in our Jamat. Besides reflecting the values of our Tariqah, this centuries-old tradition of giving of one’s time and resources encourages initiative, develops leadership capacity, and offers opportunities for an individual’s personal and professional development.
First formally established in Mumbai and Karachi in 1919, the Ismaili Volunteer Corps (IVC) was honoured by Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah by way of authorisation for the use of his own crest, the Taj, as its emblem in 1920, which marked the initiation of the tradition of uniformed volunteer service in the Jamat.
