2 3 ForewordForeword

Every person has to prove themselves in a new job. But, there is a new level of proving oneself as the first generation of women in jobs that have been exclusively for men over the last hundred years. And, nothing can be harder than proving yourself as a woman soldier in India’s oldest paramilitary force, the Assam Rifles, a male bastion for 181 years of its 183 years of existence.

A source of great pride to the Assam Rifles are our women combatants, also known as mahila soldiers. And, an even greater source of pride is the way the Force has adapted to women living, working and fighting successfully alongside their male counterparts.

At the Assam Rifles’ Training Centre and School in Sukhovi, Nagaland, instructors put the female recruits through grueling paces. On undergoing the rigorous training at this Institute of Excellence, our mahila soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts having been integrated into the fighting force as combatants on equal terms with the men.

Besides the training that helps facilitate integration into combat units, the organisation is getting itself attuned to the challenges that are faced by women soldiers and special attention is given to address these challenges. The greatest challenge that is imposed on our female soldiers is motherhood. As in most places, women still shoulder the bulk of childcare responsibilities, and military life is no different.

Often, the woman soldier does not have the same experience of having someone at home to support her career as does the male soldier. And, this is something that Assam Rifles is looking at very closely. Though the organisation provides for crèche/day care facilities in places where families of soldiers are permitted to stay, under consideration is also the requirement for plentiful round-the-clock child care directed to the needs of children of mahila soldiers and to that of the of the single parent – male or female. This would go a long way in helping such military parents achieve a balance between family and work, while enabling them to give of their best to the organisation.

Soldiers take pride in what they do. And our women soldiers take as much pride as the men in what is expected and demanded of them – to be fit and ready to fight and protect what’s important. As can be seen, they wear their uniform with pride, a pride that they share with other soldiers who serve, whether they are women or men.

This issue of Siroi is dedicated to our mahila soldiers – some of whom are pictured on the cover, on their day off – who have overcome great odds to serve as combatants in this historic force. Deeply appreciated, too, are their families who support them so that they can continue to serve and to do the tremendous job that they do. We wish them strength and safe times.

While on the contribution of families, I would like to draw your attention to the Certificate of Appreciation, a copy of which is reproduced here on the left. Established this year, the Certificate of Appreciation Award is to be presented to ARWWA members who have given selflessly of their time and skills to help better the ARWWA community as well as to those members who made noteworthy contributions bringing positive attention to the Assam Rifles. Congratulations to

the first recipients of the award – 32 of you – and many thanks for your invaluable service.

I would also like to thank you, all of you of this remarkable organisation, for the wonderful tenure. I will cherish my time here and the memories made – they will remain forever in my heart.

And, as always, my wish for each one of you of our Assam Rifles’ family – stay happy, stay strong, stay blessed.

“Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open”

By Sudeshna Dhar W/o Col Litton Dhar SM Co-28 Assam Rifles

The world had shattered for Nanda Kumari who lost her husband, a soldier of 28 Assam Rifles due to an illness. Her three small children are too young to be aware as to why their father could not get up from that pyre. With tears rolling down her face, Nanda Devi made a vow to herself and silently to her children that she would not give up and would be there to look after them as well as their father would have if he had survived.

Difficult as it was, she put her misery behind her and started working on how she could become a provider for her children. It was then that she saw a glimmer of hope amongst the dark clouds in the form of a job at the Unit Skill Development Centre.

Nanda Devi had studied till just Class 5 and could barely read and write. However, she mustered everything within her to get out there and to get employed. She was a Nepali and knitting and weaving were part of everyday activities of the home she came from. She knew that she could contribute in this area of fabric making and approached the president of ARWWA, expressing her desire to work in the Centre where she could hone and impart her skills.

Skill development projects have always been an integral part of SHOORVEER, the projects focusing on women empowerment by training members to become small scale entrepreneurs. The projects have grown and are now being incorporated on a larger scale so as to make families financially independent. To undertake the project on a larger scale, a study was carried out regarding skill programmes employing the local women of the Wokha district. It was found that the loin looms used by local women for traditional shawl weaving would be beneficial as the financial investment was minimal and thus earnings would come in quicker. It was also learnt that products woven by local women were taken by middle men and sold at double the price paid to the women. This practice preyed on the simplicity of the women hailing from backward villages and their ignorance of the actual cost of handicrafts woven by them. It also showed that they had lacked the approach to open markets in nearby cities.

On the path of “If you can dream it, you can do it” and upon seeing the middle men profit dishonestly from the hard work of these women who toiled relentlessly day and night to run their homes and educate their children, our unit, 28 Assam Rifles, took up the initiative to set up a Weaving Centre to help the local women as well as their own families to learn a skill already practiced by their earlier generations as well as to earn a living through the same.

The idea was also to develop cost effective skills that at some point of time, the local women could continue on their own and the skill imbibed would not die down for want of finance or external support. The loin loom weaving skill requires looms

8 9 that can be easily made with wood available locally in every village of Nagaland. Similarly, the wool for weaving is also inexpensive and readily available.

Implementation of the Project The real challenge was to convert the concept of women empowerment into a workable reality. The first task at hand was to make the women believe in the idea that it was possible for them to get a viable income and also to understand the importance of their own identity and financial independence. The efforts taken by ‘Team 28’ is as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

• Firstly, to speak to the local women time and again to convince them of the success of the project. • Secondly, select and convince skilled local women to work as instructors for limited salary available from within the unit resources. • Thirdly, make loin looms for the weaving centre from own resources. • Fourthly, carry out a market survey to get cost-effective wool and invest initially from own resources to start the project.

Equipment: The loin looms are basically made of wooden pieces that need to be assembled. A sample of a loin loom was brought from the village and the unit carpenter did a fabulous job creating six loin looms for the weaving centre.

Employment: Two local women were appointed as instructors in the weaving centre. They started working from the month of September 2016 and within months, others who picked up the skill through instruction worked with joy and enthusiasm, coming together to plan new things that could be made.

Nature of Work: An expert weaver takes at least three days to weave a Naga shawl. However, three ladies weaving simultaneously can complete one shawl in a day and a half.

Marketing: When the products were displayed in the unit ARWWA shop, they were sold within a day.

A Vision with Vigour

The two local women who were highly skilled in the art of weaving were due to their own misgivings initially reluctant to join up. However, on being persuased they agreed to impart their skills and were employed as instructors. With their knowledge, they have taught the unit families a fine art that can be a source of income. The project has been a successful and major achievement having given an identity to the women of the unit as well as to the women of the village.

The of HAPPINESS Secret

By Sub Maj NG Gangte 20 Assam Rifles

Happiness is neither a toy nor a tonic that can be bought from the market. It dwells in our heart and mind and an attempt to search for it in the outer world is as foolish as to search for sugar in a cup of tea.

Most people live under an illusion of name and fame. Some achieve power by hook or by crook in the hope that it will give them happiness. But comforts and luxuries give us pleasure, not happiness.

Happiness is a state of mind that gives us eternal joy. Gautama Buddha, despite being a prince with all possible luxuries at his disposal, had no peace of mind. Ultimately, he left everything in search of truth. He found happiness in the eight-fold path. Lord Mahavira found happiness in non-violence. Lord Jesus found it in forgiveness.

The secret of happiness lies in leading a life based on human values. Service to humanity and mankind can only give us real happiness. You need not be rich, you need not be powerful. Whatever you are, wherever you are, do what god intended you to do and you are sure to enjoy heavenly bliss.

10 11 Educating the Underpriviledged Children A small “Big” step towards eradicating poverty

By Meenakshi Tyagi W/o Col Rajat Tyagi 9 Assam RIfles

Education plays a great role in everyone’s life by building personality, improving knowledge and skill and providing a feeling of wellbeing. It develops our analytical skills, character and overall personality. Education helps a person in nourishing his present and future by ensuring his ambitions in life are better met. The quality and importance of education is increasing day by day.

Every child must go to school at their appropriate age as everyone has equal rights for education from birth. The growth and development of any country depends on the quality of the education system set for young ones in the schools and colleges. However, in India, children in poverty make up 39 percent of the population and most of them do not receive good education because their parents cannot afford to send them anywhere but to a local school that is poorly staffed. The education scenario in Nagaland is no different.

Nagaland has only 29 percent primary school-going children availing free education vis-à-vis the national average of 60 percent. It also has the highest primary school (Grade I to V) drop-out rate at 19.4 percent, more than four times the national average of 4.3 percent. Only 41 percent of schools in Nagaland have electricity and 78.2 percent have safe drinking water, way lower than the national average. (Source: District Information System for Education, Nagaland)

The Beginning – Seed of the Idea Planted

As the principal of Assam Rifles’ Primary School, Chieswema (Nagaland) and the first lady of 9 Assam Rifles, the poor condition of education in the state really got me thinking. When I visited the Government Primary School of the village TseisemaBasa that has been adopted by our battalion, it tore my heart to see the poor quality of education the children of the village were receiving and the condition of the government school. This set me thinking: “What can an ordinary person like me do to help these children?”

Taking inspiration from the words of Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”, we in the unit started our campaign to help the underprivileged children of TsiesemaBasa village by providing them quality education for free.

11 12 The Challenges We Faced

Initially, we faced some difficulties in our endeavour. There was resistance from the villagers to uproot their children from the government school, which for many was the only means of primary education they were aware of and were not comfortable sending their children out of the village to the Assam Rifles’ Garrison for schooling. It took us many rounds of discussions, an organized tour of the school for the parents and a bus service for the children to convince them that we were quite serious in our commitment to provide their children quality primary education. With this, parents of nine children agreed to admit their wards in our school. A humble beginning – but a beginning nevertheless.

The second difficulty we faced was that although all the families who wanted their children to study in our school were poor, none of them had the requisite Below Poverty Line(BPL) certificate that would enable them to get monetary assistance from the government or NGOs. Thus, for the current academic year 2017-2018, the school sponsored the books and notebooks for all nine students. Besides, the two sets each of summer, winter and sports uniform have been sponsored by some good samaritans in the battalion. With the help of gaon burras and the Kohima Municipal Corporation representatives, we are encouraging the parents to get their BPL certificates made for future monetary assistance for their children’s education.

Overcoming Teething Problems

Nine students from TsiesamaBasa Village were given admission to the school in April 2017 and provided with the books, notebooks and uniforms for free to start the session in their new school. The next challenge in store was the poor foundation of the children’s education, which they had received in their previous school. As expected by us, the children’s basic level of education in subjects like English and Mathematics was poor and none of them knew Hindi, spoken or written. To overcome this challenge, the school ran extra classes during the summer vacations for these children and we are continuing to provide extra assistance to them so that they can quickly bridge the gap in the level of education and come up to par with other students.

I Feel a Sense of Achievement

After six months of initiating our sponsorship programme, I can say that the nine children from TsiesamaBasa are well settled in our school and trying their best, with the help of teachers and fellow students, to make the most of this opportunity. And we hope that seeing their advancement in education and personality, more children from the village will come forward to join the Assam Rifles’ Primary School, Chieswema, next year.

For many children in need, poverty and hopelessness is a constant presence in their lives. Their lives do not hold any promise for a bright future. Caught in a cycle of poverty and exploitation, these children are deprived of education and other forms of development. All they need is someone to believe in their dreams and give them a chance for a better tomorrow.

I end by summing up my thoughts in the words of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai :

“There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems; it’s just one, and it is education.”

Big Dreams – The First Step Towards Success

By Deepak Negi S/o JS Negi Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

Les Brown, a well-renowned motivational speaker, once said, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land up among the stars.” In reality, we have many dreams but we may not achieve all of them due to some or the other hurdles in life. Thus, it is important to dream big so that even if we don’t achieve our goal, we will be somewhere nearer our ultimate aim. There are no limits to one’s dreams. Dreams are what differentiate great people from the ordinary ones.

Successful people dream big even if the goal may seem extremely difficult to achieve. Mahatma Gandhi dreamt about an independent India. However, people did not believe in him because dreaming of a free, democratic India was far away from being a reality. However, he was determined and never gave up. The reason why Mahatma Gandhi was successful and is known as The Father of the Nation is because he chose to dream big.

Narayana Murthy, the founder of one of the largest multinational companies, Infosys, had a humble beginning. Belonging from a financially weak family, he did not have the funds to establish a business. However, he and his entire family worked extremely hard to turn his dream into a reality. This is the power of big dreams. As the saying goes, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Similarly, once an individual sets a goal, one has to work hard with the resources available.

The world may laugh at people who dream big but this in no way should stop one from dreaming or taking calculated risks to attain their goals. By doing so and with hard work, one can see one’s dream become a reality.

By Ritisha Bordoloi Splashes of Joy! D/o Ranjit Bordoloi Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles The wind blows away my hat, As the raindrops roll down my face, One after the other, As if it were all a race.

They tickle my ears and go Right down to my chin, Chasing away all stress, Lifting me out of life’s mess.

The splashes of water Create within me splashes of joy; Pulling me out from the cloud of sorrow, Lifting me from darkness, a hollow.

Now it seems like nothing is wrong, And I feel I can burst into song! The surge of joy comes with the drops of rain, Washing away all my pain.

Life – A Game

Life is a game, it has to have an aim; It has sorrows but with the hope Of happiness tomorrow.

Life for some needs hard work As it is difficult, But hard work has its reward and results.

Love needs to be combined with life, Not hatred and violence.

Follow the simple rules of good living, And you will succeed with high thinking. You will be able to face the odds And go further, Coming through, the better for it And stronger.

16 17 The Student-Teacher RELATIONSHIP

By H Chandrajit Singh Private Teacher 34 Assam Rifles

The student-teacher relationship is an extremely important one for children. Children spend five to seven hours a day with a teacher for almost 10 months. All of us have gone through schooling and if fortunate, had a favourite teacher.

Who is considered a good teacher? The qualities for a positive relationship is based on the teacher providing the right learning experience, one that invites students to learn willingly and with enthusiasm. A teacher and student who establish good communication, have respect in a classroom, and mutual interest in teaching and learning respectively will establish a positive relationship in the classroom. I will be focusing on the relationship between the student and teacher involving a setting in the primary grades as I have found second grade to be extremely important for the student to gain a positive attitude for their future education.

Children have different strategies for learning and achieving their goals. A few students in a classroom will grasp and learn quickly but at the same time there will be those who have to be repeatedly taught using different techniques. On the other hand, there are those students who fool around and use school as entertainment. Teaching then becomes difficult especially if there is no proper communication. Yet, even teachers who create a positive relationship with their students will not necessarily be able to control all the disruptive students.

The key is for teachers to continuously monitor the students in order for them to be aware of any difficulties they’re having. Understanding the children’s problem, fear, or confusion will give the teachers a better understanding of the child’s learning difficulties. Once the teachers become aware of the problems, they will have more patience with the students, thus making them feel secure or less confused when learning is taking place in the classroom.

The communication between the student and the teacher serves as a connection between the two and provides a better atmosphere for a classroom environment. Of course, a teacher is not going to understand every problem for every child in his or her classroom but will acquire enough information for those students who are struggling with specific tasks. A significant body of research indicates that “academic achievement and student behaviour are influenced by the quality of the teacher and student relationship” (Jones 95). The more the teacher connects or communicates with his or her students, the more likely they will be able to help students learn at a high level and accomplish quickly.

17 18 THE BIHU FESTIVAL OF ASSAM

By Hav/GD Inder Pal Sharma 20 Assam Rifles

Bihu is the cultural festival of Assam. It originates from the tribal source of hunting and harvesting of natural products. Bihu is the expression of joy and merry-making.

The Ahom king celebrated Bihu as a royal festival in Assam. It is a set of three celebrations performed throughout the year. They are celebrated at different times of the year in the months of Bohag (Baisakhi), Kaati (Kartik) and Maagh according to the Hindu calendar. According to the modern calendar, these days fall in mid April, October/November and early January. Bihu is welcomed with the worship of the God of Fire.

People enjoy themselves during the festival by singing Bihu songs and dancing to them. Nowadays, Bihu song and dance competitions are held on stage in villages and towns. A very special treat is the delicious food prepared for this occasion.

Trees – Our Life!

By Mainaz Tubussam W/o Rfn Md Mushtaq 20 Assam Rifles

Trees are our great friends. They help us in various ways. They give us flowers, fruit and fresh air.

Oxygen is a must for survival. Trees take in deadly carbon dioxide and produce oxygen for us to breathe. They also prevent the erosion of soil and control floods to a great extent.

Despite helping in maintaining the ecological balance, trees are now being cut at random to accommodate the increasing population. Cutting them will bring about droughts and consequently, famine. Preserving and planting trees are one way to minimise pollution as well. Trees also make the land fertile for growing crops. Many life-saving medicines are prepared with the roots, branches and leaves of trees.

The Empowerment of

By Ruchira Saxena Women W/o Capt Chandan Kumar 44 Assam Rifles

It is generally believed by the majority that the social arena has long been dominated by males and the other gender has always been striving to establish their own independent identity. This age-old strife coupled with the changing times of modern technology and social awareness has given rise to the need for empowerment of women to share a common platform. Thus, this empowerment of women requires a drastic change within women themselves as well as society as a whole.

Women’s empowerment simply means transformation of the mental make-up of the society for its outlook towards women as well as raising the spirits of the oppressed sections of women. By no means or arguments should the endeavour be curbed in the name of vigilance over ‘Women’s Empowerment’ to ‘Women’s Dominance’.

Governments in various regions of the world along with effective NGOs and other volunteer organizations have tried and are continuously endeavouring to put steps and measure in place to ensure the empowerment of women. There have been a number of laws that have been made and been amended to cater for the cause. Moreover, massive social awareness campaigns have been effectively conducted to streamline the issue.

However, there are certain sections of society that are of the opinion that it’s necessary to keep a check on these measures of empowerment in order to put vigilance on women’s dominance with respect to their studies, household, work and dignity of women. It is also seen that many times women themselves have resorted to abusing the legal measures put in place for their safety, security and welfare, for their personal benefits. Such instances demean the dignity of women and undermine the efforts being steered by many.

Empowering of women is very challenging as it requires a changing of the mindset of society, which is basically male dominated. The question then arises – how do we empower women? Education can play a large role in such an endeavour. Educated women can contribute towards the health and well-being of a family in a better way and also towards politics and the national income of the country. Education would also make them aware of their rights creating part-time jobs with flexible timings as well as providing them job-based vocational training to better their position in society.

Society must realise that the empowerment of women will result in the overall development of society both at micro and macro levels. It must understand that the empowerment of women will lead to the development of the nation. As it is rightly said ‘The foundation should be strong’ and women are the foundation of the nation.

19 20 Personality and How to Develop It

By Riya Pun D/o Deepu Pun Assam Rifles Public School, 20 Assam Rifles

Habits are precious assets of human nature in keeping sound health. A sound mind can only exist in a sound body. Through observation and experience, educational institutions train our moral sense. We must not only think correctly but must also act rightly.

Good habits are the foundation of discipline that goes to form one’s character. Above all, education helps us to be true and to know right from wrong. The personality of a person is a power hidden in his or her life and good hobbies are the source of this power. Over time, hobbies become a part of our nature and behaviour. This in turn, shapes one’s character upon which one’s personality finally develops.

The Best Bear Advice Contributed By Niwya Saji D/o Reena Jose Assam Rifles Public School, 20 Assam Rifles

Ramu and Shamu were close friends. Once, both were passing through a thick forest. Suddenly, a bear came across them. Shamu ran and climbed a tree but Ramu stood still. Ramu had heard that bears did not harm dead people. So, he quickly lay down on the ground and played dead. When the bear came near Ramu, he held his breath. It sniffed his face and moved ahead. After sometime, Shamu got down the tree and asked, “What was the bear saying in your ear?” Ramu replied, “It said stay away from selfish friends.”

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

20 21 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES by Assam Rifles’ Public School, Naginimora

By Sarita Rawat Assistant Teacher Assam Rifles Public School, Naginimora 35 Assam Rifles

The present day Assam Rifles can trace its origins back to a paramilitary force known as Cachar Levy that was established by the British in 1835 in the Assam region. Despite problems with equipment and training, the contribution of this force in opening the region of administration and commerce was, nevertheless, significant and over time they have become known as the ‘right arm of the civil organisation and left arm of the military’ in the region. The force has always extended a helping hand for humanitarian causes and in natural calamities. It has made a significant impact on development activities in the North East by way of construction of roads and tracks, water supply schemes, schools, community halls, playgrounds for village children and maintenance of buildings in remote areas.

The deployment of Assam Rifles’ units in remote corners of the North East region denies the personnel of the force the opportunity of providing quality education to their children due to poor infrastructure and facilities in the region.To provide quality and institutionalized education to the children of Assam Rifles’ personnel, the Assam Rifles’ High School was established at Naginimora, Nagaland. Through this school, a sincere attempt is being made to provide good quality education to the children of personnel. The school is co-ed and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) New Delhi. The institution offers education from nursery to Class X.

The main aim of the school is to promote all-round development of academic excellence, discipline, high sense of value and sense of national integrity amongst the students without any bias of gender, creed, race or religion. Besides imparting education to the children of Assam Rifles’ personnel, the school also takes upon itself to provide better facilities of education to the local children living in the vicinity.

The Assam Rifles’ Public School, Naginimora, has come a long way since its inception and is endeavouring to provide for its students the best all-round education that is feasible. The school offers up-to-date infrastructure that includes modern facilities like well-ventilated and furnished classrooms and computer laboratories. The well-stocked library offers a range of books, CDs, periodicals and newspapers. Transport facility is also provided.

21 22 Life! By Shruti D/o BK Singh Assam Rifles Public School, 16 Assam Rifles

Life has its own ways. It flows like a river and has two distinct banks that never meet. Much like virtue and vice – they never go together. A river flows perniciously on slopes and like life gets disorganized at each curve. But, also like life it goes over or around obstructions and obstacles.

As a river continues on its course, it is likely to get polluted but its waters get cleansed as it throws out the impurities on its banks. One must learn this from the river and expel evil thoughts and any evil from one’s life. Plant seeds of clear, loving thoughts and leave no space for weeds to grow.

Life and time are the best teachers. Life teaches us the use of time and time teaches us the value of life. Life is beautiful and precious. Cherish it.

Child Abuse via the Story of Komal

By Susheela Naryal W/o Hav/Ciph S S Naryal Assam Rifles Signal Unit, Shillong

Thousands of children all over the world are living lives ravaged by abuse, violence and neglect. KOMAL – A Documentary Film on Child Sexual Abuse is an effort to spread awareness and to give children crucial and much required information on child sexual abuse. The film, a national award winner for best educational film, was screened at the Family Welfare Centre at ARSU, Shillong, in the last week of June 2017.

Targeting students of class IV to VII, the film in Hindi offers a sensitive understanding on the subject based on child abuse. KOMAL revolves around a girl of the same name who deals with the trauma of being sexually abused by her neighbour, who is her father’s age. After much reluctance, Komal confides in her mother about the abuse. After the horror of getting to know the abuse, the mother gets counselling for her child.

The movie highlights the benefit of teaching children about ways to tackle child abuse. The film, for its brave concept and issue-sensitive storyline, touches everyone’s hearts and in this process educates its audience about good touch and bad touch. Such movies shown in the Family Welfare Centre at unit level go a long way to tackle and prepare ourselves for sensitive issues like this.

22 23 Women’s Safety

By Supriya Das W/o Hav/Clk Sujeet Kumar HQ IGAR (East)

Women’s safety is one of the most important issues which should be highlighted. A woman plays different roles in different facets of life such as a daughter, a sister, a wife and mother. Yet, many are harassed be it in public places as well as in their own homes. Sadly, people tend to watch the drama unfold rather than raise their voice against this evil.

A solution needs to be found for this problem. Every woman should be educated and made aware of her rights. She should be made confident and able to protect herself whenever needed.

People treat women as objects and consider them as less powerful than men. But when we talk about P. T. Usha and Mary Kom to name a few, they are no less than anybody.

Don’t discourage your daughter from going out but teach your sons to respect women.

The Apple Tree

Contributed by Deepak Negi S/o JS Negi Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

A farmer had in his orchard an apple tree that yielded very fine fruits and every year he used to give his landlord some of the apples. This did not satisfy the landlord and he decided to take the tree. So he had it dug up and transported to his own orchard.

The change, however, caused the tree to wither so that it bore no more fruit and in a very short time it died.

By being greedy, we may lose all.

24 25 Personality- Your Original Personal Property

By Govind Bajaj S/o Ramesh Kumar Bajaj Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property” said Norman O. Brown, American scholar, writer and social philosopher.

What makes your personality? It is your confidence and belief in yourself and in your ability. It is your personality that makes you stand apart from others. Education will make you literate, of course, but if you lack confidence it will be of no use to you.

Each one of us has some talent but very few achieve success and those who do are the ones who have confidence in themselves and their talents. In today’s competitive world when we have to face so many interviews and stiff competition, a strong personality will be an asset in helping to see you through.

Work on your personality, analyze yourself, find your weak points and change them. Be positive and confident in whatever you do because that will enhance your personality and help you be accepted and successful.

My Private Moments with Rain

By Ankita Dugar D/o Mahendra Kumar Dugar Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

The raindrops kissed my yet blue clothes, amorous till they could hold no more; Slowly they swiveled down to the floor, trucking my body trickling my soul. They cased the clouds they heaved the land, such exquisite drops of silver sands. An upsurge of cool breeze they bring, filling each life with zest and zing. Welcomed by God’s thunder, being followed by flash and streaks; Molding hands they reached the ground with coordination latterly profound. Resembling minstrelsy they hum, thunder tallying as the bass and drum. Touching and feeling the roofs concrete, hugging the walls and sun baked bricks. Revering the mega and mini green trees, resting at plants on their parched leaves. Miseries and melancholy the raindrops drown; Their pattering serenade – hope resounds. They awaken the sagacious senses, from the mountains and down to the trenches. Raindrops render a stream of glee, gracing the earth as diamonds free.

25 26 MY COUNTRY, Right or Wrong?

By Manoj Kr Chhetri Adhoc Teacher Assam Rifles Public School, 20 Assam Rifles

The statement unequivocally suggests that it is the paramount duty of every individual to support all policies of the government of his or her country as they view solidarity with little regard to their being harmful to some neighbouring countries in particular and the world at large in general.

It means that people are not to question the validity of a treaty with any other country nor are they to raise any voice of protest against the methods of dealing with other countries, provided that national interest is not thrown to the background just for pelf and power. In fact, such patriotic fervour can assume a dreadful posture. Jingoism and narrow nationalism can make people dangerously apathetic to human values.

Therefore, we must not only favour patriotism but also pinpoint the absurdity couched in such a sentiment. After all, love of one’s nation should never mean hatred for other nations.

“Let us not forget that love begets love and hatred begets hatred.”

Children & Digital India

By Hiramoni Borah Junior Teacher Assam Rifles Public School, 20 Assam Rifles

As the name indicates, Digital India is a campaign launched by the government to improve infrastructure and offer easy services, making India a digitally empowered country.

In the last decade, children in India have become tech driven and have the potential and readiness to imbibe and learn using digital media. Initiatives have been introduced by the prime minister such as e-education, e-bosta and Nandghar, which impart education using smart phones, apps and internet services in far-flung areas where it may not be possible for teachers to be present in person. E-bosta aims at making school books accessible in digital form as e-books to be read on tablets and laptops. Moreover, through online lessons children will be able to learn multiple activities.

It will also be possible to improve attendance in schools through digital services. This service will help children to improve their language skills and comprehension. Each and every child of our country should be digitally independent because children who are not computer literate will struggle in their future professions. So, these latest technologies will help create opportunities for more active and meaningful learning experiences.

There are approximately 131 million households with cellular phones in the country and delivering education through the digital platform to children could be a potential way to bridge the education deficit. Thus, children should be encouraged to join online networks too. They need to be taught cyber safety too and at the same time be productive and constructive.

Digital literacy, the component of digital India, will go a long way and children should be encouraged to reap the benefits and make themselves digitally literate.

The Assam Rifles Its Origins and Growth

By Samima Khatoon Private Teacher Assam Rifles Public School , 35 Assam Rifles

Assam Rifles is the oldest paramilitary force in India tracing its beginnings to the year 1835. The force then called the Chachar Levy was formed under the British to protect the tea gardens in the north eastern part of India. The Assam Rifles grew to be a friend of the people in the region and is thought of by them with affection and gratitude. The force continues to provide the foundation of security and order in these areas.

I am also part of Assam Rifles as my spouse serves in it whereas I serve in the Assam Rifles’ School, Naginimora as a teacher. It is a matter of great privilege to hold such a position in this glorious institution and I do my best to be worthy of it.

Aside from performing security duties, the Assam Rifles works tirelessly scheduling and fulfilling a diversified calendar of events each year such as a plan to plant trees systematically and another to educate people in the region. The force also works towards the social development of the region especially for economically backward classes and in remote areas, the Assam Rifles have implemented educational systems to benefit the economically weakest and most deprived communities.

29 30 By Isneha Kanojia D/o Suresh Kanojia Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles My Thoughts Past, Present and Future

There I lay upon the grass Thinking about my past, The past which I will never forget, The past which I want to My Return Always remain a good memory in my heart.

I’ll return Then, the shadow From the dark lanes Of my future loomed large, To the serene green plains. The future which I am unsure of, The future yet unseen I’ll return That cannot be predicted as good or bad. Escaping from sorrow’s grip

Fleeing to my home But soon a thought alighted - To the land I seek I have never cared for my present, To the vast green valleys The present which someday makes the past By the clear blue stream memorable, I’ll sit and sing. The present which will make my future as memorable, To my home I’ll come back And on which my life will depend. To my home I’ll return Maybe as a bird, maybe as a roaring lion, Maybe as an ant struggling for a place in this world.

Or maybe as a mere human Even today I walk down those lanes But no one can see me ’Cause I am a soul, a spirit free Without a human identity. Freedom But I’ll return Fragrance I promise As a creature I am a girl who loves freedom; With an identity true I like the shining sun, To these familiar lanes I want to fly in the open sky; To these serene green plains People say no, but why? To the land my heart longs for To my home I’ll return I like spending time the way I wish, I’ll return someday. But some say no to my bliss, Even though I promise my freedom trail Will not take me down wrong lanes.

I wonder why there are these limitations To live my life, freedom fragrant.

30 31 Why the Lotus is considered special

Contributed by Chris Theporal W/o Rfn/GD A Maria Dhas 1 Assam Rifles

The lotus is the symbol of truth, auspiciousness and beauty -- Satyam, Shivam and Sundaram. The supreme being is also considered an embodiment of nature and his various aspects are compared to a lotus, i.e., lotus-eyed, lotus palms and feet. Besides, the scriptures and ancient literature extol the beauty of the lotus.

The lotus blooms with the rising sun and closes at night. Our minds open up and expand with the light of knowledge. The flower grows even in slushy areas. It remains beautiful and untainted despite its surroundings, reminding us that we too can and should strive to remain pure and beautiful under all circumstances.

The lotus leaf never gets wet even through it is always in water. It symbolizes the man of wisdom who remains ever joyous, unaffected by the world of sorrow and change.

The Benefits of Meditation Medication for the Mind

By Govind Bajaj S/o Ramesh Kumar Bajaj Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains or transforms the mind to realize the benefit of inner peace or enlightenment. Meditation begins by halting the activities of the brain for some time and going into a state of stillness or silence. In today’s times, where one’s life is immersed in the waters of immense stress emerging as a repercussion of the pressures emanating from excessive materialism, professional success, social acceptance and the like, meditation comes as a heavenly refuge.

Hundreds of years ago, a wandering Nepalese prince sat under a tree vowing not to rise until he attained enlightenment. After a long night of deep meditation, Siddhartha Gautama, better known as the Buddha, saw the light and declared that suffering is subjective and can be reduced through self-awareness.

Many studies have shown that meditation not only has mental but also profound physiological effects on the body. Thus, to attain this elusive peace of the mind, meditation should be practiced daily and be supported by a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet.

It is pertinent to note that 15 to 30 minutes of daily meditation can have a magical effect on one’s life.

31 32 A Froggy Fable

Contributed by Priya Sonar D/o Om Kumar Sunar Assam Rifles Public School, 20 Assam Rifles

A group of frogs was travelling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, as it was useless. Finally, one of the frogs took heed and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up. Be careful of what you say. The power of words is immense and an encouraging word can go a long way. Cloudy Thoughts By Abhishek Mishra S/o Sanjay Kumar Assam Rifles Public School, 16 Assam Rifles

I am a beautiful, white fluffy cloud, looking like cotton. I am made of small drops of water and live in God’s great sky. I drift past cities, towns, and countries. It is wonderful to look down on the magnificent planet, earth.

In the day time, I love to watch the children chatter as they go to school. I see the traffic go up down the roads.

When the sun shines brightly, I watch the children outdoors at play. Some people go to work and others engage in different activities like shopping, sports and the like. They are not aware that from high up in the sky, I am watching them all the time.

I fear the time when the wind will push me over the seas and then the mountains. As it gets colder, I will become dark, filling up with water. Once full to capacity, I will burst and gush forth and will live no more.

32 33 The Nagas - Their Life and Culture By Shikmo Konyak D/o Late Chingban Konyak Assam Rifles Public School, 13 Assam Rifles

Nagaland is the 16th state of India covering an area of 16,579 sq km. It is situated in the North Eastern region of India. The Nagas live in Nagaland, parts of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and the western frontier region of Myanmar.

Initially, the Nagas lived in their respective villages for their livelihood. But with the passage of time, more and more people are moving towards the urban areas especially Kohima and Dimapur in search of jobs. It is likely that the Nagas come from the southeastern region of Asia, where the countries of Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and others are. That is why the Nagas look like the people of Southeast Asia. They also have similar customs and practices like terraced cultivation, the use of loin looms for weaving, and tattooing the skin.

The main occupation of the Nagas is agriculture. They rear pigs, cattle and chickens. The staple food of the Nagas is rice. Meat forms an important part of the daily food. Nagas grow varieties of vegetable and also collect from the forest and jungle. The Nagas prepare varieties of food. Some common kinds are fresh and dried bamboo shoots, fermented soya beans and dried mustard leaves.

The Nagas are skilful in making many things with bamboo and wood. They are also fond of colourful apparel. Each tribe has its own distinct shawls and mekhelas, wraparounds draped from the waist downwards, with attractive designs and patterns. Naga shawls range from a very simple white cloth to an elaborately designed one for a warrior or a person of stature. During festive occasions, various kinds of birds feathers, headgears, shells, armlets, earrings, and shields made of ivory, copper, brass are worn by both men and women.

The morung is an important part of Naga traditional life. The morung serves as a guard house and a learning centre. It is usually built in the best and secured site of the village. It is a place where young nagas learn manners, traditions, norms, folk songs, folk dance, handicrafts, war techniques, past histories and the like. In most of the tribes, there are separate dormitories for the girls, too, where they learn folk songs, folk tales, folk dance, art of spinning and other skills to prepare them for womanhood.

The Nagas are fond of music. They have different musical instruments. Some of the important traditional musical instruments are the leather drum, the log drum, the bamboo flute, the cup violin, and the buffalo horn. In olden days the log drum was used as an alarm for the villagers to prepare themselves against enemy attack as well as for inter-village communication.

Nagaland is a land of festivals with one tribal festival followed by another throughout the year. Each tribe celebrates festival with great enthusiasm. Most of the festivals are connected with agriculture. In earlier times, festivals were also celebrated after victories in war. 33 34 Maths Unknown

34 35 Thoughts to Ponder

By Saksham Dutta Roy S/o Sushanta Dutta Roy Assam Rifles Public School, HQ 25 Sector Assam Rifles

Always have a unique character like salt - Its presence is not felt, But its absence makes things tasteless.

Life does not allow for us to go back and fix what we have done wrong in the past, But it does allow for us to live each day better than our last.

The Meaning of Life – through different eyes

For a rich man who has everything Life is money; For a poor man shivering in the cold Life is a hard struggle; For a bird sitting on a tree Life is a blossoming flower; For a soldier on the battleground Life is war; For a helpless bird in a cage Life is bondage; For a holy sage Life is only a way to reach god; But, for me Life is an unsolved mystery.

A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, “I hate you, I hate you!” Afraid of the consequences of what he had said, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted again, “I hate you, I hate you!” And, the echo returned “l hate you, l hate you…” Having never heard an echo before, the boy got scared and ran back to his mother for protection. He said there was a bad boy in the valley who shouted “I hate you, I hate you.” The mother understood and she asked her son to go back and shout, “I love you, I love you.” The little boy went and shouted “I love you, I love you” and back came the echo. That taught the little boy a lesson, that our life is like an echo. We get back what we give.

Hygiene and Sanitation

By Sharanpreet Kaur W/o Maj M S Bajwa HQ IGAR (South)

Maintaining health and sanitation in our surroundings is a very important part of our life. One of the first things crucial for maintaining overall health is proper handwashing. It is necessary to teach children and those who may not know how to, the correct way of cleaning one’s hand. Often family members rely on the same soap for several functions. It is essential that members be made aware of how a good hand wash helps maintain hygiene.

Children tend to fall ill during the rainy season. Maintaining a clean environment at home and at places of play and study is necessary. Food from open stalls should be avoided. At school, children should be encouraged to maintain a certain distance from each other to help prevent the easy spread of any infection present. Sharing of food should be avoided whereas drinking from the same bottle should be completely discouraged.

Also during the rainy season, unwelcome insects make their appearance making it imperative to maintain cleanliness in the home by using disinfectants and other similar effective substances like cleaners for the floor and bathrooms. During susceptible seasons, symptoms of infections and diseases, if any, should be checked by a doctor.

इस तरह के होने चाहिए आपके नवजात के कपड़े

Jherh vuhrk nsoh iRuh jk0 eSu@ th-Mh- foØe flag usxh 4 vle jkbQYl

मौसम के अनुसार होने चाहिए शिशु के कपड़े। गर्मी के मौसम में सिंथेटिक पहनाने से बचें। घर में डायपर की जगह सूती नैपी पहनाएं। बच्चे के कपड़े अच्छी क्वालिटी के ही लें।

1- नवजात की त्वचा बहुत ही कोमल होती है इसलिए हमेशा ऐसे कपड़ों का चुनाव करें] जो आरामदायक हो। शिशु के लिए हमेशा ऐसे कपड़ों का चुनाव करें जो उसके शरीर पर फिट आये और उसे कपड़े बदलते समय किसी असुविधा का सामना ना करना पड़े। विशेषज्ञ ऐसी सलाह देते हैं कि आप बच्चों को आरामदायक कपड़े पहनाएँ।

2- गर्मियों के मौसम में शिशु को ठंडक देने वाले सूती कपड़े पहनाएं। सिंथेटिक कपड़े इस्तेमाल न कीजिए] क्योंकी वे गर्माहट को अंदर ही रोकते हैं और बच्चे के लिए बहुत तकलीफदेह हो सकते हैं। इनके कारण घमौरियां भी हो सकती हैं। धूप में बाहर निकलते समय शिशु के लिए लंबी बाजू के हल्के कपड़े चुनें।

3- शिशु को धूप से बचाने के लिए टोपी या हैट पहना सकते हैं। मगर सुनिश्चित करें कि वह चौड़े रिम वाली टोपी है और आराम से फिट होती है। इलास्टिक पट्टी के सपोर्ट वाली हैट न पहनाएं क्योंकि वह तंग हो सकती हैं और इनसे रक्त परिसंचरण पर दबाव प蔼 सकता है।

4- कपड़े की नैपियां शिशु के लिए ज्यादा आरामदायक हो सकती हैं। ये गर्मी और डिस्पोजेबल नैपी पहनने से होने वाले ददोरों (नैपी रैश) से भी बचाएंगी। अगर आपको डायपर पहनाना ही पड़े] तो शिशु को ठंडे वातावरण में रखें और तापमान के अनुसार उचित कपड़े पहनाएं।

5- सर्दियों में शिशु के कपड़े गरम एवं नरम और आरामदेह होने चाहिए] जिन में कोई जिप या टैग न लगा हो। बच्चे के हाथ-पैर गरम रखने के लिए उसे दस्ताने और मोजे पहनाने चाहिए और उस का सिर टोपी से ढकना चाहिए।

6- बच्चे को कई बार ऊनी कपड़ों से ऐलर्जी हो जाती है जिस से उस के शरीर पर रैशेज हो जाते हैं। इसलिए कपड़े तापमान के हिसाब से ही पहनाने चाहिए। बच्चे को सीधा ऊनी कपड़ा पहनाने के बजाय पहले एक सूती कपड़ा पहनना चाहिए।

7- शिशु के कपड़े अच्छी क्वालिटी के होने चाहिए और ज्यादा तंग नहीं होने चाहिए। बच्चे के कपड़े धोने का डिटर्जैंट माइल्ड होना चाहिए।

वजन घटाने में मदद करेंगे गुलाब की पंखुि蔼यों से बने ये नुस्खे वजन घटाने के लिए अगर आप लाख जतन करके भी परेशान हैं तो गुलाब की पंखुि蔼यों के इस्तेमाल से आप वजन घटा सकते हैं।

गुलाब में न केवल एंटीसेप्िटक और एंटीफंगल गुण हैं बल्िक यह लैक्सेिटव और ड्यूरेिटक गुणों से भी भरा है। लैक्सेिटव और ड्यूरेिटक होने के कारण यह मेटाबॉिलज्म ठीक करता है और पेट के टॉक्िसन हटाता है।

घरेलू नुस्खे आजमाएं, सांसों को महकाएं

कई बार भरपूर पानी न पीने से भी मुंह से बदबू आती है। कुछ लोगों के मुंह से बदबू आना प्राकृितक भी रहता है। आपके मुंह से बदबू आने पर आपके साथ बात करने वाले आपको हीन नजर से देखते हैं और आपसे दूर रहने का प्रयास करते हैं। आप इन परिस्थितियों से गुजर रहे हैं तो यहां िदए जा रहे िटप्स पर गौर फरमाएं ये आपको अपने मुंह से आने वाली बदबू से छुटकारा िदलाएंगे। नीम या बबूल की नरम डाली का ब्रश बनाकर दांत साफ करने से दुर्गंध दूर होती है। 5 ग्राम सौंफ या धिनया या इलायची चबाने से मुख शुद्िध होती है। इलायची और पुदीना डालकर पान चबाना लाभकर है। इलायची, दालचीनी तथा सूखी पुदीना पत्ती डालकर बनाए गए घोल से गरारे करना दुर्गंध िमटाता है। इलायची चबाना भी दुर्गंध रोकता है। एक कप पानी में जीरे के तेल की 2-3 बूंदें डालकर गरारे करने से लाभ होता है।

ifjJe और सफलता

Jherh jhih iRuh 5007807 jk0eSu@thMh jfoUnz dqekj

ifjJe ही सफलता तक पहुँचाता है। जीवन में सफल बनने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत बहुत जरूरी है। असफलता सफल बनने dh पहली सीढी है। मगर इस पहली सीढी से गिरकर ही आदमी सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ना छोड़ दे तो उसका सफलता के f’k[kj तक पहुंचना असंभव है। एक उदाहरण मेरा निजी है जब मेरा बेटा चलना सीख रहा था तो मैं उसके बार-बार िगर जाने से व्यथित थी। मेरी सासु माँ ने मुझे कहा तुम इसके गिरने से इतना परेशाu क्यूँ हो] अगर ये गिरने को अपनी विफलता मानकर दोवारा उठकर चलने का प्रयास नहीं करेगा तो हमेशा पालने में ही बैठा रहेगा। उनकी ये नसीहत मुझे सोचने पर विवश कर गयी कि- असफलता से सबक सीख आगे बढ़ने का गुण तो हम सबमे जन्मजात है मगर ताज्जुब की बात ये है कि इस नैसर्गिक गुण को भूल हम असफलता को नतीजा मान सफलता का प्रयास ही छोड़ देते ह।

क्यों िटमिटमाते हैं तारे

Jherh pUnzk nsoh iRuh iRuh jk0eSu@thMh ,e ds frokjh

आसमान में जगमगाते तारों को देखकर हमें ऐसा लगता है जैसे वे अनवरत नहीं चमक रहे हैं पल-पल चमकना बंद करते रहते हैं। किंतु ऐसी कोई बात नहीं है। तारे सदा निरंतर एक समान चमकते रहते हैं। दरअसल तारों से छूटती रोशनी को हमारी आँखों तक पहुँचने से पहले वायुमंडल में िवद्यमान अवरोधों का सामना करना पड़ता है। अतः उनकी रोशनी रास्ते में िवचिलत होती रहती है सीधी हम तक नहीं पहुँच पाती।

वायुमंडल में हवा की कई चलायमान परतें होती हैं। ये परतें तारों की रोशनी के पथ को बदलती रहती हैं। इसके फलस्वरूप उनकी रोशनी हमारी नजरों से कभी ओझल कभी प्रकट होती रहती है। इसीिलए तारे िटमिटमाते िदखाई देते हैं।

90 91 Oorja Under 19 Talent Hunt Football Tournament 2017

Assam Rifles organised state level tournaments in Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland. The nationwide competition, dubbed ‘OORJA’, was an initiative of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to promote football in the entire country ahead of the FIFA Under-17 Football World Cup, which was hosted by India for the first time. Oorja means energy in Hindi and is thus a highly appropriate name for the tournament as it comes with the intent to explore the endless energy of the nation’s youth through the popular sport of football. The cub mascot Gabru epitomises all that adolescents stand for – unbridled energy, zest for life, youthful exuberance and a desire to do good with an ambition to succeed. The tournament’s anthem was written by noted Indian singer Sukhwinder Singh in his signature style, which is full of energy, happiness and motivation. The motto of the tournament comes from a quote by Swami Vivekananda, “Arise, awake and stop not until the goal is reached.”

Close to 400 boys and girls representing 16 clubs from Meghalaya vied for the state trophy, which was named in honour of Shlur Nongbri, the first native from the state to make it to the Indian national football team.

Members of Meghalaya’s most successful football club, Shillong Lajong FC, were present at the Shillong launch in a show of support to the youth tournament, as well as noted marathoner Binning Lyngkhoi and senior sports officials of Meghalaya. The tournament was named as “Late Dr Talimeran Ao Memorial Assam Rifles CAPFs U-19 Football Talent Hunt Tournament 2017” Dr Telimeran Ao who was the captain of the Indian National Football team in the 1948 Summer Olympics.

All the teams from six different states of North East Region were divided into two pools and participated during the league as per the pools. The matches were well contested with players displaying very high standard of football.

94 95 The 26th Senior National Wushu Championship 2017

The 26th Senior National Wushu Championship 2017 was conducted at the Assam Rifles’ Sports Complex, Laitkor, Shillong, from 10th October to 15th October 2017 in association with the Wushu Association of India (WAI). The Assam Rifles has a resilient bond with games and sports primarily as a means of fostering espirit de corps, toughness and development of killer instinct qualities, improvement in proficiency and also as a recreational means. The Force has made a mark at the national and international events of Wushu in 2017. It was also one of the first organisations to adopt the sport and to raise a team.

A total of 900 participants (649 men and 251 women) from various states and institutions of the country participated in the grand event. Seventy officials from the Wushu Association of India conducted the matches and also selected the national team for the national camp. The opening ceremony of the event was organized on 10th October 2017 in a grand manner. The chief guest of the event was Director General Assam Rifles Lt Gen Shokin Chauhan, AVSM, YSM, SM, VSM who expressed immense gratitude to the North Eastern Council and other sponsors for supporting the event and for encouraging Wushu in the North East and India.

Competitive Wushu is composed of two disciplines, Taolu and Sanda. Taolu involves martial art patterns and manoeuvres for which competitors are judged and given points according to specific rules. The forms comprise basic movements (stances, kicks, punches, balances, jumps, weeps and throws) based on aggregate categories of traditional Chinese martial art styles, and can be changed for competitions to highlight one’s strengths. Competitive forms have time limits that can range from one minute, 20 seconds for some external styles to over five minutes for internal styles. Modern Wushu competitors are increasingly training in aerial techniques such as 540-720 and even 900-degree jumps and kicks to add more difficulty and style to their forms.

Sanda (sometimes called Sanshou) is a modern fighting method and sport influenced by traditional Chinese boxing, Chinese wrestling methods called Shuai Jiao and other Chinese grappling techniques such as Chin Na. It has all the combat aspects of Wushu. Sanda appears much like kickboxing or Muay Thai but includes many more grappling techniques. Sanda fighting competitions are often held alongside Taolu or form competitions.

A total of 35 events of Taolu and 450 matches of Sanda were played. The overall winner trophy was taken by the Services Sports Control Board (SSCB). The closing ceremony showcased the rich culture and heritage of the North East. Shri Ganga Prasad, Hon’ble Governor of Meghalaya, presented the winning trophy to the teams and encouraged participants to excel in their field and take the nation to glory. He also appreciated the Assam Rifles for conducting the national event and setting the benchmark standard for the future.

The aims of the Assam Rifles’ Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Unity & Heritage Motorcycle Expedition are as follows: (a) Foster force-to-force contact and bonhomie between the border guarding forces of India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. (b) Pay homage to fallen comrades and connect with veterans of World War II and the Indo-Pak War (Bangladesh War of Liberation) 1971. (c) Connect with ex-servicemen, veer naris, students and youth of the North Eastern states. (d) Promote unity, peace, brotherhood and pride in our national heritage.
