Nepalese Army: A Legacy of Bravery and Service

The Nepalese Army has a long history dating back to the 18th century when Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal. It was formed to protect the country from enemies and keep peace inside the nation. Over time, it has grown into a modern and disciplined army while keeping its traditions of courage and dedication. Today, the Nepalese Army is celebrating its 263rd Army Day with parades, gun salutes, and cultural programs across the country.

The army is famous for its bravery. Soldiers have always worked hard to protect Nepal’s land and independence. They have shown courage in battles and emergencies, earning the trust and respect of the people. The army’s discipline and loyalty are important parts of its strength.

The Nepalese Army is also known worldwide for peacekeeping. Since 1958, it has sent over 162,000 soldiers to 44 United Nations missions in different countries. Many soldiers have risked or given their lives to help others, and Nepal is one of the top countries for sending women peacekeepers.

Besides fighting and peacekeeping, the army helps during disasters like earthquakes and floods. It also works on building roads, bridges, and protecting important landmarks. These contributions show that the army not only defends the country but also helps in its growth and development.

Today, the Nepalese Army keeps its traditions alive while modernizing. Soldiers take part in parades, cultural events, and training programs. With more women joining and better training, the army continues to serve the country with pride. Its history, bravery, and contributions make it a symbol of strength for all Nepalese.
