PASIGHAT :  Under the aegis of the Spearhead Division, the Spearhead Gunners of the Signals Regiment (SIGAR) Military Station conducted a military interaction and strategic weapon display for students of Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Pasighat, as part of the university’s orientation programme for the 2026-27 academic session.

The programme aimed to familiarise students with the ethos of military service, leadership, discipline and the career opportunities available in the Indian Armed Forces, while promoting patriotism, nation-building and responsible citizenship.

Addressing the students, the Commander of the Spearhead Gunners said the true strength of the Indian Army lies not only in its modern weaponry but also in the character, courage and professionalism of its personnel. He encouraged the students to lead lives of purpose and integrity, emphasising that national security is a shared responsibility requiring committed citizens and capable leaders.

The strategic weapon display gave students an opportunity to interact with serving soldiers and officers and gain insights into the operational role of various weapon systems, military equipment and the professionalism that underpins Army operations. Interactive sessions also offered participants a glimpse into life in the Armed Forces and highlighted the importance of teamwork, discipline and leadership.

A dedicated interaction with Army officers and a career information session generated keen interest among students, who sought information on officer entry schemes, Agniveer recruitment and other career opportunities in the Indian Army. An Army-themed selfie point was also set up to enhance student engagement.

The programme received an enthusiastic response from students and faculty members of Rashtriya Raksha University and reaffirmed the Indian Army’s commitment to youth engagement, leadership development and strengthening civil-military ties through nation-building initiatives. (DIPR)
