Thongsonyu, Nagaland: Assam Rifles organised a drawing competition on the theme ‘Communal Harmony’ at Thongsonyu in Nagaland, providing children an opportunity to express their ideas on unity, peace and peaceful coexistence through art.

A total of 25 children participated in the competition, showcasing their creativity and understanding of the importance of communal harmony. Through their artwork, the young participants highlighted the values of mutual respect, togetherness and peaceful cohabitation among communities.
To encourage their creative efforts and support their learning, stationery items were also distributed among the participating children.
The initiative aimed to nurture young talent while instilling values of tolerance, understanding and social harmony at an early age. It also provided a platform for children to engage in a constructive activity that promotes unity beyond social and cultural differences.
The programme reflects Assam Rifles’ continued efforts to engage with local communities, encourage youth development and foster an atmosphere of mutual trust and cooperation.
Such community-oriented initiatives also contribute to strengthening civil-military relations by bringing security forces and local residents closer through meaningful interaction and shared values.
