As someone who has family in the armed forces, I appreciate this effort. Young people need to understand the sacrifices made at our borders. More such programs should be organized across different border areas.

While the intent is good, I hope this isn't just a photo opportunity. The real test is whether these youth will actually implement what they learned in their daily lives. Let's see sustained follow-up.

The focus on Seva-Bhaav and Kartavya Bodh is exactly what our youth needs. In today's individualistic world, we need to revive these traditional Indian values. Kudos to MY Bharat initiative!

Excellent program! The Viksit Bharat vision requires such ground-level engagement with youth. When young Indians see the realities of border security, it builds a stronger, more united nation.

I wish such opportunities were available for more students, not just quiz winners. Maybe schools could organize virtual tours or interactions with soldiers posted in difficult areas.
