Imphal, Feb 19:In a focused effort to guide and mentor aspiring youth towards a career in the armed forces, the Assam Rifles, under the aegis of the Spear Corps, conducted a structured pre-training programme for 162 Armed Forces aspirants from Churachandpur and nearby areas of Manipur.

The comprehensive training initiative was designed to prepare candidates for recruitment into various branches of the Armed Forces, with focused modules covering written examination preparation, physical fitness conditioning, general awareness, and personality development. Experienced instructors and serving personnel mentored the aspirants, providing guidance on examination patterns, interview techniques, and the discipline required for a successful military career.
The programme has already yielded encouraging results, with 31 youths successfully clearing the Territorial Army written examination — a significant milestone that reflects both the dedication of the candidates and the effectiveness of the structured training support. The achievement has generated a renewed sense of hope and motivation among other aspirants in the region.
Beyond examination preparation, the initiative aimed to instill confidence, resilience, and a sense of national pride among participants. Through interactive sessions and motivational talks, the Assam Rifles emphasised the values of service, integrity, and commitment — qualities essential for a career in uniform.
The effort also underscores the continued commitment of Assam Rifles to youth empowerment and community outreach in Manipur, particularly in districts where structured career guidance opportunities are limited. By providing professional mentorship and accessible training support, the force is actively creating pathways for local youth to secure stable careers and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
The success of 31 candidates serves as a testament to the transformative impact of such initiatives, reinforcing the role of Assam Rifles not only as a security force but also as a catalyst for positive social change in the region.
