Kakching: In a continuing commitment towards youth empowerment, humanitarian outreach and strengthening civil-military relations, the Assam Rifles successfully conducted a series of multi-faceted community programmes across Kakching and Churachandpur districts. Weaving a common thread of national service, social responsibility and mentorship, these initiatives seamlessly combined life-saving healthcare advocacy with educational military showcases to inspire the next generation.
The outreach commenced on 12 June 2026 at the Sangai Auditorium, Pallel Garrison in Kakching District, where a Voluntary Blood Donation Camp was organised in collaboration with civil and military medical specialists. Commemorating World Blood Donor Day under the theme “One Drop of Humanity, Give Blood, Save Lives”, the camp saw an enthusiastic response, with a combined total of approximately 190 personnel and civilians voluntarily donating blood. Dr S. Hemabati Devi, Senior Medical Officer from Shija Hospital, Langol, attended the event and recorded an awareness podcast at the local Community Radio Station, scheduled to broadcast on 14 June via the Radio Highway App.
Simultaneously, the Pallel Garrison hosted a structured Weapon Display Programme for around 80 aspiring defence candidates of the Guardian Defence Academy. Sustaining this momentum of youth mentorship into the next day, the Assam Rifles organised a comprehensive career guidance session and weapon display on 13 June 2026 for the cadets of the 65th NCC Girls Battalion at Churachandpur. During this interactive session, the senior officials provided 54 participating girl cadets with vital insights into entry schemes, selection processes and life in uniform. Both weapon displays gave the youth a unique glimpse into military capabilities, fostering discipline and national pride. These combined endeavours highlighted the people-centric approach of the Assam Rifles, effectively motivating the region’s youth to contribute meaningfully towards nation-building.
