My family and I attended the mela yesterday. The children were thrilled to see the weapons and UAVs. More than the equipment, the discipline and dedication of the jawans on display was truly inspiring. We are so proud of our Army.

Respect to Ms. Aasha Malviya for her cycling expedition tribute! 🚴‍♀️ These are the real role models we need. While the mela is great, I hope such events are held in smaller towns across Rajasthan too, not just in Jaipur.

Seeing our modern artillery and UAVs fills me with confidence. In today's geopolitical scenario, showcasing this strength to the public is a smart move. It sends a clear message about our readiness. Kudos to Sapta Shakti Command.

A respectful suggestion: While the mela is excellent, the article reads a bit like a formal press release. It would be nice to have more ground-level reporting, maybe interviews with common visitors or NCC cadets about their experience.
