28 April 2024, Indo American Children's Academy, Ayodhya - Today a program was organized by the Ayodhya unit of Rashtriya Sainik Sansthan, titled "Character Building through Military Training".

Hon'ble Lieutenant General Gurmeet Singh, Governor of Uttarakhand said that whenever there has been a good change in the country, it has come only when the saints and soldiers have raised their voice together. He said that the construction of a nation is not possible without national character and national character begins from home and school. Therefore, there is a need for initial military training in schools. Rashtriya Sainik Sansthan is capable and ready to do this work at the national level under the leadership of Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi.

Giving his blessings, Jagat Guru Shankaracharya Shri Narendra Nand Saraswati Ji Maharaj, Peethadheeshwar of Sumeru Kashi Peeth, said that today the army is the only organization left in the country which has dedication, discipline and honesty. Former Divisional Commissioner of Jhansi, Dr. Ajay Shankar Pandey said that we appreciate Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha because it is the first national organization which has both Gaurav Senani and patriotic citizens.

Kiran Saxena, founder of Indo American Children Academy, while presiding over the function said that it is our duty to take care of the family of the soldier deployed on the border and not to say anything by mistake which may affect the morale of the soldier.

Advisor of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Rajan Chhibber Ji appealed to the families of martyred soldiers, patriotic citizens, Gaurav Senani that now the time has come that we should keep the country first before doing any work at all times and everywhere, return whatever we have got to the society and never be disheartened.

Major General M.L. Aswal, the incoming President of Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, said that the syllabus for the initial military training that we have prepared includes ambush, patrolling, disaster management, pollution control, duties under Article 51A of the Constitution, information about the works done by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, etc.

Head of ECHS Ayodhya, Gaurav Senani Colonel C.P. Singh said that it is a formality that the organizers of the program in which we participate are praised. If the program is related to soldiers, then the organizers are definitely praised repeatedly. But today I have come to this program, not because I want to join Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, but because I do not see any other organization like this of Gaurav Senani and patriotic citizens at the national level.

District President of Women's Wing of Ghaziabad unit of Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, Smt. Raj Sharma said that when I wear the cap of this organization, I feel as if I am the Battalion Commander of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's Rani Jhansi Regiment.

National President of Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, Veer Chakra recipient Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi said that the objectives of this organization are energizing - reawakening of patriotism, respect for the families of martyred soldiers, eradication of ills prevalent in the country and initial military training in schools. Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha's commitment towards the proud fighters and patriotic citizens can be gauged from the fact that the theme of the program being organized today is - "Character building through military training".

Every soldier is a living reflection of discipline, training, dedication and honesty. All these things are taught to a soldier. If these things are made known to the civil society even at a symbolic level with examples, then character building will begin. If this work starts from schools, the foundation of the nation will also be strong because the things taught in schools stay in the mind for life.

On this occasion, families of some martyred soldiers and members doing excellent work were also honored.

The entire committee raised their hands and took a pledge today with Ayodhya Ram ji as witness that we will not only strive for building the national character throughout our life, but will also run a campaign to say and get people to say “Jai Hind” in nearby schools and other institutions. This is our ‘slogan’ and this is our identity.
