My brother attended this camp! He hasn't stopped talking about it. He said the soldiers were so patient in answering all questions. More such events should be held in schools and colleges across Tripura and other states.

Reading about Lance Naik Albert Ekka's sacrifice gives me goosebumps every time. Naming the brigade after such a hero is perfect. Our youth need to know these real stories, not just movie versions. Salute to the PVC recipient and to the army for this outreach.

This is a fantastic way to build trust and understanding. In a border state like Tripura, it's especially important for civilians to feel that connection with the army that protects them. The interactive quiz sounds like a great idea.

While I appreciate the effort, I hope these camps also honestly discuss the challenges of army life - the postings, family separation, and risks. Glorifying alone isn't enough for a career choice. That said, kudos for the initiative.
