From April 29 to May 2, a group of 37 students from the department of defence and strategic studies at Himachal Pradesh University undertook a field visit to the Indo-Tibetan border in Kinnaur and Spiti, India. Accompanied by faculty members Ashok, Piyush Panatu, and Akhilesh Thakur, the educational tour aimed to bridge theoretical concepts with practical exposure. At Pooh, the team received briefings before proceeding to Shipki La, where they witnessed a weapon display and learned about operational readiness along the border. The visit also included demonstrations of quick reaction fighting vehicles and a tour of a geothermal energy plant, highlighting logistics facilities that support border operations. To enrich their academic experience, students recorded two podcasts at Pooh and Lepcha, capturing narratives from the border region and enhancing their understanding of defence and strategic studies.
