Assam Rifles Leads Series of Lifesaving, Educational and Welfare Initiatives Across Manipur
In a remarkable display of community service and civic responsibility, the Assam Rifles has undertaken a series of impactful humanitarian and educational initiatives across multiple districts of Manipur, reaffirming its motto of “Seva, Suraksha, Shanti” — Service, Security, and Peace.
In Chandel District, a Quick Reaction Team (QRT) of the force sprang into action on October 15 after a road accident near Khengjang village, where a local villager suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle mishap. The team provided critical first aid and ensured swift evacuation of the victim to a nearby healthcare facility. Locals lauded the timely intervention, which once again highlighted Assam Rifles’ lifesaving readiness and compassion.
On October 14, the force extended medical support during the Annual Sports Day at St. George School, Moreh (Tengnoupal District), ensuring round-the-clock emergency care for more than 250 students, teachers, and staff. In line with CPR Week, Assam Rifles also organized a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) awareness session in Tengnoupal, training 110 participants—including 30 students—in essential lifesaving techniques.
World Students Day in Chandel
Marking World Students Day on October 15, the force organized educational and recreational events across five villages—Old Samtal, New Samtal, Kachinbung, Tuitong, and Sehlon in Chandel District. Activities included career guidance sessions, drawing and painting competitions, a volleyball tournament, and the setup of a mobile library, which drew enthusiastic participation from students and villagers alike.
The initiative reached 278 participants and aimed to encourage academic curiosity, creativity, and sportsmanship among youth in remote hill areas. Stationery and learning materials were also distributed to students, while locals expressed appreciation for the Assam Rifles’ consistent outreach and encouragement of education.
Touching Lives, Building Futures
Under the Pulse Polio Programme and Operation Sadbhavna, Assam Rifles continued its humanitarian outreach by conducting a Polio Vaccination Drive at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Buallian Village, Churachandpur District, immunizing 107 children against polio. Parents were also sensitized about vaccination and child health.
Simultaneously, in Kangpokpi, the force extended educational assistance to the Kuki Students’ Organisation (KSO) Women Wing, donating a computer, printer, and furniture to enhance their free coaching programme for children from IDP relief camps. The gesture was celebrated with performances and heartfelt gratitude from community members.
These initiatives collectively underscore Assam Rifles’ unwavering commitment to healthcare, education, and community resilience across Manipur. By blending humanitarian aid with youth empowerment and public service, the force continues to stand as a true friend and guardian of the people of Northeast India.
