Army inspires youth with insights on Op Sindhoor

The Indian Army conducted an interactive session with students at Sri Sai University, Palampur on Monday, focusing on the recently concluded Operation Sindhoor—a strategic military operation carried out along the India-Pakistan border from May 7 to 10. The event was part of the university’s ongoing civic and defence awareness initiative aimed at fostering national consciousness among the youth.

The session featured Naib Subedar Rout Deepak, a key participant in Operation Sindhoor, as the chief guest. Through an engaging presentation, he shed light on the operation’s planning and execution, describing it as a “measured and precise response to cross-border aggression.” He highlighted how the Indian Army is evolving with modern warfare strategies and emerging technologies.

Senior officers further elaborated on the operation’s objectives and outcomes, stressing India’s commitment to regional peace, military preparedness, and technological self-reliance. The interactive format allowed students to ask questions and gain first-hand insight into the realities of military service and national defence.

“This session is not just about understanding a military mission—it’s about bridging the gap between civilians and the armed forces,” said Naib Subedar Deepak. “Youth must understand their vital role in strengthening the nation.”

The event concluded with a message urging students to stay informed, innovative and engaged in nation-building. The Indian Army’s outreach was lauded for inspiring patriotism and critical thinking among attendees.

Present at the event were Kanwar Tushar Punj, Pro-Chancellor of the university; Dr Zahid Ali, Vice-Chancellor; along with deans, faculty members and a large gathering of enthusiastic students.
