In a remarkable display of patriotism and unity, 90 students from Army Goodwill Schools (AGS) in Hajin, Bandipore, and Markund embarked today on a special Capacity Building Tour (CBT) to the Kargil War Memorial, organized by the Indian Army as part of Operation Sadbhavana.
This two-day tour, from 6-7 November, offers these young students a unique opportunity to connect with India’s legacy of bravery and sacrifice, fostering a deeper appreciation for the courage of our soldiers.
The tour was officially flagged off today from AGS Hajin, marking the beginning of an inspiring journey to the iconic Kargil War Memorial. The group includes 37 girls and 53 boys, accompanied by six teachers, ensuring a well-rounded and guided experience.
The Kargil War Memorial, situated in Drass, stands as a testament to the valor and sacrifice of the soldiers who gave their lives during the 1999 Kargil War. This visit will provide students with valuable insights into India’s military heritage and the importance of duty, honor, and patriotism.
Through initiatives like this, the Indian Army under Operation Sadbhavana continues to foster goodwill and development in the Hajin region, strengthening bonds between the Army and local communities. This tour embodies the values of unity in diversity and aims to inspire these young minds to carry forward the spirit of national pride.
