As part of ‘68th Army Day Celebration- 2016’ and in its drive, the Army would be conducting an Army ‘Raahgiri’ with an endeavour to connect with the masses and bring the 68th Army day celebrations closer home to the general public. The Army will be conducting various programmes at Central Park, Connaught Place (3:00PM onwards) and Sector 10, Dwarka (7:00 AM Onwards) on 10 January 2016 (Sunday).
The events will focus on the theme of healthy living and will include Martial Arts display by troops of the Assam Regiment and other cultural shows like ‘Lezim’ from Maharashtra and ‘Chang Dance’ from Rajasthan. The events will also showcase the Infantry Soldier’s bayonet training drill, known as “Dhawa”, where the audience would be allowed to participate and win prizes.
The Army Dog Squads will be showing off their military training skills. An Army Aerobics and ‘Malakhamb’ team would also be showing elite gymnastics skills and raw muscular strength to motivate the youth to ape a healthy lifestyle.
The event would be conducted as a prelude to the Army Day Celebrations this year and would certainly go a long way to etch an impression in the minds of the future generations of the country on the Indian Army's legacy of Courage, Valour and Sacrifice.
