Various local heroes of Siachen, Ex-Servicemen, Veer Naris and NOKs of late soldiers, who have fought and defended the frontiers of the nation in various wars after independence were honoured and felicitated by the nation for their fortitude and sacrifices during times of need. Soldiers of various battalions currently serving in glaciers also participated enthusiastically in a celebration of success and martyrdom.

Various outdoor games like football, archery and mini marathon were also been played. Indoor competitions like quiz and drawing were also conducted.
