KHONSA : As part of Summer Camp-2026, Assam Rifles Public School (ARPS), Khonsa, under the aegis of the Khonsa Battalion of Assam Rifles, organised a two-day educational and motivational tour to provide students with experiential learning while promoting patriotism, cultural awareness and an appreciation of Arunachal Pradesh’s rich heritage.

On the first day, June 27, the students visited the Golden Pagoda at Namsai, where they gained insights into the region’s spiritual and cultural heritage and admired the architectural grandeur of one of the state’s most prominent Buddhist monasteries.

On the second day, the students visited the historic Pangsau Pass and learned about its geographical significance and strategic role in the history of the region. The visit helped them gain a deeper understanding of the landmark’s historical importance.

The students later visited the Headquarters of the 25 Sector Assam Rifles, where they interacted with the Deputy Inspector General.

Addressing the students, the senior officer encouraged them to pursue excellence through discipline, dedication and education, and inspired them to become responsible citizens committed to serving society. The interaction concluded with a media interaction followed by lunch at the headquarters.
