Assam Rifles aid in reopening INA Memorial High School in Manipur

Displaying the unwavering commitment to restore normalcy in Manipur, Assam Rifles operating under the Spear Corps of Indian Army assisted in reopening of INA Memorial High School in Gothal village of Churachandpur district in association with local administration.

The school was closed since 3 May 2023, since the onset of violence in the state.

Acknowledging the importance of continuation of education for students, the Assam Rifles worked relentlessly towards resumption of curriculum at the School. The AR extended support for shifting the school to its new location, while ensuring safety of the assets. Stationery articles were also distributed to over 250 students coming from 15 remote villages. The initiative will help these children to resume their education after 10 turbulent months and prevent loss of one academic year for them.


A sense of security and normalcy have been restored in one of the worst violence affected areas through consistent and unceasing efforts by Assam Rifles. The initiative was successful because of trust and faith of local population in Assam Rifles, due to which local population got convinced to send children to the school again.
