The army has been a heavenly guardian for peace, safety, and development in Jammu and Kashmir. Along with border security, it has become the mainstay of support. It is a reality that the army has done wondrous services to the locals, bringing them smiles and warmth at a time and time again. On this occasion of the celebration of Republic Day on the 26th of January, it brings admiration for the tremendous effort the Indian Army in Kashmir is doint to further secure the borders and for the love and admiration shown to them by the local populace.

A beacon of courage and security

The Indian Army still stands as the last guardian of the nation’s sovereignty in Kashmir, keeping the peace in this region free from birth-giving threats. They and their iron will are what keeps the invincible blockade, letting them escape and still retain some semblance of the paid security they represent in this melting pot.
Republic day in Kashmir seems to bear the declaration of pride for army as grand galas, ceremonial parades, and flag-hoisting celebrations are organized in Srinagar and other places. As evinced in such occasions, the army puts on continuity for democracy in all adverse of vicissitudes.

A sea of lifeline for the people

What the army does in the realm of defense is but support to the local life. The army enjoys a role in the overall upliftment of the population of Kashmir. Guided through "Seva Parmodharma," the army is engaged in various services to help people in sufferings. They soon run to help impelled by such program as medicine and medical, evacuations during the events of catastrophe like floods and avalanches.
Programs like the Indian Army Goodwill Schools, a part of Operation Sadbhavana, are one of the building blocks of quality education for those kids in far-flung areas, providing them with some vision for tomorrow. Women empowerment programs, vocational training centers, and youth engagement projects by the army have helped a large number of families in a major way. From constructing residential infrastructures to providing medical facilities in reversed geographical climatic conditions, and for people surviving in the distant hinterland, the army has become a part of life.
At the time of natural disasters, the Indian Army acts as one of the first distributing factors, organizing rescue measures and supplying food, water, and shelter. This often flows into the plan of long-term relief, helping the affected population to rebuild and regain its life.

Republic day connection

Republic Day is celebrated on a stagy level, creating a bond between officers and civilians in a way that is defined by cultural events, flag hoisting, and sports activities, fostering unity and patriotism. The celebrations make soldiers and civilians come closer, thus imbibed with the spirit of the day.
Besides the obvious at-home advantages of this glorious day, it serves to distribute some utility material into many less fortunate areas and furnish winter supplies for coping with hardship, and the concept of army presence to the area provides morale and a sense of security.

A sign of trust and dedication

The Indian Army has been closely associated with the term "getu"; a legendary being who protects and watches over God's creation and God himself. It symbolizes most piously the spirit of trust and dependence combined. This is the reality of tireless rescues of human beings from extreme cold during the winter, the scaling of broken walls in really unsafe places, failure to put up a pusher on the person requiring medical emergency, etc. The locals respect the Indian Army and feel connected with them.

Encourages patriotism

On each and every Republic Day, Kashmir witnesses its locals coming up along children and dignitaries to pay tribute to the Indian National Constitution and valiant soldiers. Such a scene is a simple yet sad reflection of hope, combining children and juveniles waving the national flag alongside the hugely adorned soldiers: a concept per se that India remains, with countless trials and tribulations, unbreakable in its spirit.
