Agartala, Sep 4: Assam Rifles organised a community meal for orphaned and Divyang children at Nirmala Shishu Bhavan Anathalay, Kunjaban, Agartala, on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, spreading a message of compassion, inclusivity and togetherness.

The initiative brought Assam Rifles personnel and children together in a warm and welcoming gathering, allowing the young participants to celebrate the festival in an atmosphere of joy and companionship.
The community meal was organised as part of Assam Rifles’ continued community outreach efforts aimed at supporting vulnerable sections of society and strengthening bonds with local communities. The presence of the personnel added a sense of warmth and belonging to the celebration, particularly for children who may otherwise have limited opportunities to participate in such festive gatherings.
During the programme, Assam Rifles personnel interacted with the children and shared the festive spirit with them. The gathering focused on creating an inclusive environment where the children could enjoy the occasion together, irrespective of their circumstances or abilities.
The initiative also highlighted the broader values associated with Janmashtami, including compassion, care, humility and service to others. By engaging with orphaned and Divyang children, the event sought to reinforce the importance of ensuring dignity, inclusion and equal participation for every member of society.
Community-oriented initiatives of this nature provide opportunities for security personnel to engage directly with residents beyond their conventional operational responsibilities. Such interactions help promote mutual trust and goodwill while strengthening the relationship between the security forces and local communities.
The Janmashtami programme at Kunjaban reflected Assam Rifles’ emphasis on humanitarian outreach and social welfare, particularly towards children and other vulnerable groups.
The initiative concluded on a positive note, leaving the participating children with moments of happiness and celebration. Assam Rifles reiterated its commitment to continuing such meaningful outreach activities to foster inclusivity, goodwill and stronger community ties.
