Silchar, Jan 4: In a bid to inspire the next generation and raise awareness about India’s armed forces, Assam Rifles, under the aegis of #SpearCorps, organized an interactive weapon display at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar, Assam. The event, held on January 4, attracted a participation of around 550 students, teachers, NCC cadets, and their families.

The display provided attendees with a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience of infantry weapons and understand the operational aspects of the armed forces.

NCC cadets particularly benefited from the session, gaining practical insights into the discipline, skills, and responsibilities involved in military service. Students and teachers alike expressed enthusiasm over the interactive setup, which combined demonstrations with informative briefings about the life and duties of armed forces personnel.
