In a remarkable example of educational empowerment, thirty-eight students from remote villages in Arunachal Pradesh have successfully cleared the All India Sainik School Entrance Examination, thanks to a dedicated free coaching initiative led by the Indian Army. The students hail from the remote border areas of Jang and Dirang in West Kameng district, and their achievement is being celebrated as a milestone for inclusive development in the region.
The coaching program was organized by the Army’s Gajraj Corps and ran from July 2024 to April 2025. The initiative aimed to bridge the educational divide faced by children in far-flung border villages, many of whom lack access to quality academic support. Out of 44 students who took part in the program, 38 successfully qualified, demonstrating the power of focused intervention and guidance.
According to the Army’s official statement, the coaching involved not only rigorous academic training but also motivational and personality development sessions. Army instructors mentored the students with discipline, structure, and encouragement, helping them build the confidence and skills needed to succeed at a national level competitive examination.
“These brilliant young minds are the future of India,” said the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Indian Army. “Their success is proof that talent knows no boundaries, and with the right support, even the most remote corners of our nation can shine.”
The success story from Arunachal Pradesh is now being hailed as a beacon of possibility for similar initiatives across the country. It reflects the Indian Army’s broader commitment to nation-building through education, empowerment, and social inclusion. The Gajraj Corps congratulated all the young achievers and their families, reaffirming its mission to continue nurturing the potential of India’s youth—wherever they may be.
