In the remote village of Duggan, Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army has made a profound impact on the life of a young boy, Akshay Sharma, who had been silent for eight years due to a cleft lip and palate condition. An Army doctor, moved by the family’s hardships, took it upon himself to study speech therapy techniques and dedicated his free time to help Akshay, eventually enabling him to speak. This act of compassion not only changed Akshay’s life but also resonated deeply within the community, showcasing the Indian Army’s role in uplifting lives beyond its primary duty of national defense.
