== Operation Sadbhavana (Goodwill) ==
'''Operation Sadbhavana''', also referred to as '''Operation Goodwill''' has been launched in [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] by the [[Indian Army]] under their Military Civic Action programmes, which are aimed at "[[Winning hearts and minds|Winning the Hearts and Minds]]" (WHAM) of the people in the region.

=== Background ===
Operation Sadbhavana was officially launched in 1998, especially in rural areas near the [[Line of Control]] (LOC) where [[Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir|insurgency]] and militancy had caused destruction to property and a sense of alienation among the people of Jammu and Kashmir from the rest of India.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" />

=== Initiatives ===
'''Kashmir Super-30 & Super-40'''

In 2013, the Indian Army teamed up with the New Delhi-based NGO, Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL), to launch the Super-30 initiative along the lines of the highly acclaimed and successful [[Super 30|Super-30]] concept started by [[Abhayanand]] in [[Bihar]]. Over time the initiative included more students and was subsequently called the Army Super-40, and soon will become the Army Super-50. Nine students of the 2016-17 Army Super-40 batch cleared the difficult [[IIT JEE|IIT-JEE]] advanced examination.
