Keran, Oct 14: In a heartwarming initiative aimed at fostering national integration and strengthening the bond between citizens and the Armed Forces, 06 Rashtriya Rifles (SIKH) and ASEEM Foundation organised a three-day educational and motivational visit for seven students native to Maharashtra, on the Line of Control (LC) in the remote and rugged region of Keran.

The visit provided the young participants with a rare and eye-opening opportunity to witness the life of soldiers serving in extreme conditions, where sub-zero temperatures, isolation, and operational challenges form part of their daily routine.

The students interacted closely with the troops, observed their living conditions, and learned about the unwavering dedication and discipline that define life on the nation’s frontlines.

Company commander 06 Rashtriya Rifles (SIKH) said the initiative was undertaken to inspire young minds by exposing them to the courage and commitment of our soldiers who guard the nation’s borders with selfless devotion.

"We believe such experiences instill pride, patriotism, and a deeper sense of responsibility among the youth," he said.

The Commanding Officer 06 Rashtriya Rifles (SIKH) said it was a pleasure to host these bright young students and share with them a glimpse of a soldier’s life.

"Their enthusiasm and curiosity were truly motivating, and such interactions strengthen the connect between the Army and the people we serve," he said.

Sharing his experience, a student participant said that meeting the soldiers and seeing how they live and work in such difficult conditions has changed how I see the word ‘service’.

"I will never forget their warmth, courage, and love for the nation," he said.

The students expressed heartfelt gratitude to ASEEM Foundation and the Indian Army 06 Rashtriya Rifles (SIKH) for making the visit possible.

For most, it was their first experience in such an environment — one that left them inspired and deeply moved by the resilience and spirit of the soldiers.

This initiative stands as a testament to ASEEM Foundation’s commitment towards youth engagement and nation-building, while reinforcing the spirit of civil-military harmony in the country’s remotest border regions.
