The Indian Army will bear the education expense of a ten-year-old boy who supplied meals to the troops during Operation Sindoor in a Punjab village.

As the soldiers fought with the Pakistan Army, exchanging fire, Shvan Singh brought them water, ice, tea, milk, and lassi.

Acknowledging the spirit and courage of the ten-year-old, the Indian Army’s Golden Arrow Division has said it will sponsor Shvan’s education.

On Saturday, Lt Gen Manoj Kumar Katiyar, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, also felicitated the boy during an event at Ferozepur Cantonment.

The army stated that the story of Shavn serves as a reminder of the “quiet heroes" across the country who deserve recognition and support.
