Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi brought the curtains down on the ‘Bharat Ranbhumi Darshan Abhiyan’ in a stirring New Delhi event, celebrating a 3,400-kilometer odyssey across India’s battle-scarred frontiers. From Dwarka’s shores on February 3, the convoy powered through Gujarat-Rajasthan’s tough terrains, including the surreal Rann of Kutch and relentless Thar expanses, visiting key combat memorials and edge-of-border hamlets.
The Artillery Regiment-led venture united 35 members from tri-services and paramilitary, flaunting advanced roadways that bolster defenses and daily lives. En route, they honored martyrs, conversed with heroic women, retired soldiers, NCC aspirants, learners, and border dwellers—each halt buzzing with community cheers that mirrored profound mutual respect.
Held at the National War Memorial with elite attendees, the occasion spotlighted goals of historical reconnection and youth sensitization to martial legacies. The Army Chief lauded it for vivifying past glories and kindling service passion. Observers see this as armed forces evolving with time, honoring yesteryears to build a vigilant, unified national future.
