The Indian Army continues to showcase its latest weapons systems and operational capabilities across various border states in the Northeast, highlighting its preparedness, technological strength, and commitment to safeguarding the region's security and territorial integrity.

Defence spokesman Lt Col Mahendra Rawat said that the Spearhead Division of Spear Corps conducted a vibrant "Know Your Army" outreach campaign for school students at Likabali in Arunachal Pradesh aimed at fostering awareness, patriotism and career aspirations for the Indian Armed Forces.

He said that the event featured motivational talks by brave soldiers who shared real-life experiences of service, sacrifice and leadership. Students were given a comprehensive briefing on various entry pathways into the Armed Forces, including NDA, TES, IMA, Indian Air Force, Indian Navy, Short Service Commission and other opportunities, helping them understand eligibility, preparation strategies and long-term career prospects, the spokesman said.

Adding to the immersive experience, participants visited an Army museum and witnessed a hands-on display of modern military equipment, vehicles and gear. Lt Col Rawat said that the interactive sessions allowed students to engage closely with soldiers, ask questions and gain firsthand insight into life in uniform.

The outreach successfully ignited curiosity, discipline and a strong sense of national pride among the youth, inspiring many to dream of serving the nation.

The Indian Army continues its commitment to nation-building by connecting with young citizens and guiding them toward meaningful careers in defence services, the defence official said.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, a weapons and equipment display was organised at the Albert Ekka War Memorial in Tripura's capital, Agartala, to familiarise students and citizens, especially the youth, with the Indian Army's ethos, capabilities and commitment to nation-building.

Highlighting its strength, professionalism and commitment to national security, the Brigade had also organised a similar weapons and equipment display at the Tripura Institute of Technology (TIT) in Agartala, intending to motivate young minds and foster a spirit of patriotism and nation-building among students.

Wonderful to see such outreach. The motivational talks from soldiers are priceless. Hearing real stories of service and sacrifice is far more impactful for students than just reading about it. Hope they conduct these in more remote schools across all border areas.

Showing the latest weapons is a strong message of our preparedness. In today's geopolitics, it's crucial for our citizens, and our neighbors, to know that our armed forces are modern and capable. Jai Hind!

While showcasing military strength is important, I hope the campaign also subtly emphasizes the value of peace and diplomacy. Inspiring youth for defence careers is great, but we must also inspire future diplomats and peacemakers.

The career guidance part is excellent. Many bright students in small towns don't know the pathways into NDA or IMA. This demystifies the process and could bring in talented officers from regions that are the front line of our nation's security.

Good to see this happening in Likabali. People in Arunachal Pradesh live with the reality of the border every day. Such campaigns strengthen the bond between the Army and the local community, which is vital for national security. Salute to our soldiers!
