They went to the school and taught the students about the Indo-Pakistani war, and they made the students realize that the safety and security we have today is owed to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives at Kargil Vijay Diwas.
The LEADers made the session with the students interactive to ensure that the students learned as much as possible. Through various activities, the students were able to fully grasp the important role that soldiers play in our lives.
