It provides an opportunity for the visitors to develop a conscious connection with the site, the institution, and the people in whose memory the structure was built.

The memorial attempts to invoke a deep and moving experience and serves as a symbol of inspiration for future generations.

The visit to the National War Memorial helped to inculcate a sense of high moral values, sacrifice, national spirit, and a sense of belongingness for the country among the students.
