On 26 Mar’ 24, a group of teachers and students from the Faculty of Commerce, Govt College Shillong, embarked on a unique journey as part of the Seema Darshan Program. Their destination? Border Outpost – Barmanbari of 193 Bn, where they had the opportunity to witness a #BSF weapon exhibition and explore the border haat Balat at the Indo-Bangladesh border.
As the group arrived at the Border Outpost, they were greeted by the sight of the towering fences separating India from Bangladesh. The students marveled at the intricate designs of the fences and the strict security measures in place. The teachers took this opportunity to educate the students on the importance of maintaining peace and harmony along the border and the role of BSF in safeguarding our nation.
During the #BSF weapon exhibition, the students had the chance to get up close and personal with various firearms and equipment used by the brave soldiers of the Border Security Force. They listened intently as the BSF personnel explained the functions and capabilities of each weapon, giving them a newfound appreciation for the dedication and sacrifice of our armed forces.
After the exhibition, the group made their way to the border haat Balat, where they immersed themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the market. They browsed through stalls selling an array of goods, from traditional handicrafts to fresh produce, and interacted with local vendors to learn more about their way of life. The students were fascinated by the cultural exchange taking place at the border haat, bridging the gap between two neighboring countries.
As the day came to a close, the teachers and students reflected on their experience at Border Outpost – Barmanbari. They realized the importance of cultural exchange and peaceful coexistence between nations, understanding that mutual respect and understanding are key to fostering positive relationships. The visit left a lasting impression on the group, inspiring them to spread the message of unity and friendship in their own communities.
