Imphal April 4,
Tulihal Battalion of 9 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR (South) organised a “Know Your Armed Forces Mela” as part of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Manipur Tech Fest 2019 on 03 April 2019. The event was organised on the concluding day of the three day NIT Tech Fest which had commenced on 01 April 2019 pivoting around Science & Technology exhibition and Cyber Security.
Youth of Manipur have contributed significantly towards nation building in all spheres, be it politics, academics, defence forces or sports. With such an inspiration and enthusiasm, over 200 young minds of NIT Manipur, equally motivated to contribute towards the development of Manipur and the country, witnessed a ‘Know Your Armed Forces Mela’ organised by Tulihal Battalion.
As part of generating awareness about the Indian Armed Forces, an interactive session was conducted by the team of Tulihal Battalion during which the students were informed regarding the glorious history and the timeless traditions of the Indian Army, types of entries to obtain commission in the Indian Armed Forces especially the options available to engineering graduates such as Technical Graduate Entry and University Entry Schemes. The students were inspired by the glorious history of the Indian Army and were highly motivated to join the Indian Armed Forces as an officer.
The youth were fascinated by the new generation weapons and equipment being used by the Indian Armed Forces and showed tremendous inquisitiveness regarding the technical knowhow and functionality of the weapons and equipments. Various queries regarding weapon and equipment displayed showing arsenal of an Infantry Unit of the Indian Army were also answered during the event. The excitement and exuberance of the youth was visible when they expressed their sentiments about the Indian Armed Forces on a signature board wherein they expressed their love and respect for the Indian Armed Forces.
The NIT Fest thus provided a platform for the young people and the Indian Armed Forces to create a bond of mutual understanding and further enlightened them about the immense career opportunity in the Indian Armed Forces. The NIT faculty members and students appreciated the earnest endeavor of the Battalion and requested Assam Rifles to continue such meaningful association with the youth and conduct such events in future as well.
