AALO, Nov 11: The Indian Army organised quiz and elocution competitions at Siyom Public School in West Siang district on Wednesday to mark National Education Day, encouraging students to develop knowledge, confidence and communication skills.
The programme, organised by troops of the Spear Corps, aimed to highlight the importance of education in shaping young minds and motivating students, particularly those in remote areas, to pursue learning with dedication.
The quiz competition provided students an opportunity to test their knowledge, broaden their awareness and participate in healthy competition. The elocution contest, meanwhile, encouraged them to express their views confidently and improve their public-speaking abilities.
Students participated enthusiastically in both events, with teachers also taking an active part in the programme. The competitions concluded with a prize distribution ceremony to recognise the efforts and performances of participants.
The Army said the initiative was aimed at promoting education and supporting the overall development of children while strengthening interaction with local communities.
Such activities, it added, reflect its commitment to youth development and the spirit of civil-military fusion, particularly in remote areas of the region.
