In his address, Radha Mohan Singh expressed satisfaction that an event at such scale could be organised in Motihari and would go a long way in motivating the youth to join the Armed Forces. As part of the grand festival, the audience was treated to an exhibition featuring notable exhibits like the T-90 tank, the Indian Army's Main Battle Tank, indigenous K-9 Vajra self-propelled artillery gun, BMP vehicles and domestically produced Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) Swathi.
