It's heartwarming to see our Army Chief taking time to visit his alma mater and motivate the next generation. These Sainik Schools are truly the backbone of our military leadership. However, I hope the government also focuses on upgrading infrastructure in such schools across rural areas.

These visits are more than just ceremonial. When a COAS walks the same grounds where cadets train, it builds a powerful connection. I remember my own days in a Sainik school—the sense of purpose is unmatched. Wish more IITians and civil servants did similar visits.

Lovely gesture! But I hope the media also covers the stories of ordinary soldiers who serve without such recognition. Still, General Dwivedi's message of integrity and dedication is what our youth needs to hear. ❤️
