In an inspiring event aimed at shaping the future of national defense, the Kharga Corps of the Indian Army organized a significant outreach program at the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Ambala.
This initiative, part of the corps’ ongoing efforts to enlighten young minds about the opportunities within the armed forces, drew participation from over 150 enthusiastic students.
Known for its valor and strategic importance, the Kharga Corps is a celebrated strike corps with a rich history of serving the nation. Established on October 7, 1971, by Lt Gen T N Raina, the corps distinguished itself during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, swiftly capturing key towns in Bangladesh.
After the war, the corps was reallocated to the Western Theatre, and since 1985, it has been stationed in Ambala, maintaining its reputation as a formidable offensive force.
The event at ITI Ambala featured a series of orientation and career counseling sessions led by the #AirawatVayuRakshaks, focusing on the diverse roles and responsibilities within the Indian Army. The sessions aimed to ignite a passion for national service and provided a platform for students to interact with armed forces personnel directly.
The initiative underscores the Army’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of military leaders under its guiding banners of #IgnitingMinds and #InServiceOfNation.
This outreach program not only bridges the gap between young citizens and military careers but also reinforces the Army’s dedication to community engagement and nation-building.
