The country is progressing because we are safe. There are those who risk their lives for our security, giving us the freedom to live freely. Remembering this sacrifice, let us also learn to live for others. Keep the spirit of serving society and the nation also in our mind along with our family; then the life will be meaningful. Param Vir Chakra recipient Subedar Major Honorary Captain Yogendra Singh Yadav said this on Tuesday during the Shaurya Vandan program organized by Allen Career Institute Chandigarh to honor the families of martyrs. While giving lessons to the students, Captain Yogendra said that honoring the army is honoring the nation, just as a soldier fights for the country, a student should also be dedicated to taking the country forward. Students should also set targets in studies and make every effort to achieve them.
