Army hosts ‘Day with Company Commander’ for students in Arunachal’s Menchuka

In an effort to inspire young minds and strengthen civil-military ties, the Army’s Spearhead Division under Spear Corps organised a “Day with Company Commander” programme for 25 school students, including NCC cadets, at Menchuka in Arunachal Pradesh.

The initiative gave the students a first-hand glimpse into the life of a soldier through interactions with Army personnel and exposure to the discipline, commitment and values that define military service. During the programme, the participants learned about the daily responsibilities of soldiers and gained insights into the challenges and dedication involved in safeguarding the nation’s borders.

The Army said the interaction was aimed at instilling patriotism and motivating the younger generation to contribute to nation-building. The students also had the opportunity to engage with serving personnel, who shared their experiences and highlighted the importance of courage, discipline and selfless service.

According to the Army, the outreach programme helped strengthen the bond between the military and the local community while encouraging the youth to consider serving the nation in different capacities.

The “Day with Company Commander” initiative is part of the Army’s ongoing efforts to connect with communities in border areas and inspire confidence, national pride and a spirit of service among the country’s youth.
