Rajouri, Nov 3 (NationPress) In a commendable effort under Operation Sadbhavana 2025, the Indian Army's Ace of Spades Division, located in the border regions of Rajouri and Poonch districts, has arranged a National Integration Tour for students hailing from isolated villages near the Line of Control (LoC). The purpose of this tour is to expand the perspectives of these young individuals by introducing them to the rich cultural, educational, and developmental tapestry of the country, motivating them to aspire for greater achievements and contribute positively to their communities.

During this tour, the students will have the privilege of visiting renowned institutions such as the Southern Command of the Indian Army, National Defence Academy (NDA), and National Defence Law College, in addition to various other national and international centers of excellence.

These students, who come from areas that have experienced cross-border shelling, epitomize bravery and optimism, and their involvement underscores the Army’s dedication to nurturing unity, peace, and trust among border communities.

In his address to the students, Major General Kaushik Mukherji, the GoC of the Ace of Spades Division, urged them to seize this opportunity and act as ambassadors of peace and national pride.

“Absorb as much knowledge and experience as possible. Let this tour inspire you to serve your nation with pride and become champions of unity in your area,” he remarked.

Students from both Rajouri and Poonch districts expressed profound appreciation to the Indian Army for this remarkable experience.

"We are grateful to our Army for providing us this opportunity to witness the strength and diversity of our nation. We take pride in our Indian Army, which consistently supports us and directs us towards a brighter future," they stated.

This initiative serves as a beacon of peace, progress, and collaboration, reaffirming the Army's commitment to empowering the youth in the nation's border regions.
