THE GLORIOUS HISTORY OF INDIAN ARMY IS A PROOF OF IT'S ACHIEVEMENTS. UNLIKE US ARMY , BRITISH ARMY ETC. HERE THE OFFICER'S LEAD FROM THE FRONT SETTING PERSONAL EXAMPLES AND UPHOLDING THE TRADITIONS OF VARIOUS REGIMENTS.PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIES LIKE NDA, KADAKHVASLA, IMA, DEHRADUN AND OTA, CHENNAI ARE RANKED IN SINGLE DIGIT NUMBERS IN THE WORLD FOR TOUGHNESS OF TRAINING AND OFFERS BEST PLATFORM TO INCULCATE GOOD DISCIPLINE, MANNERS AND EXTRA ORDINARY CONFIDENCE APART FROM SPORTS AND OTHER ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES. ARMY HAD PRODUCED EXCELLENT SPORTSMEN OVER THE YEARS WHO HAD WON MEDALS IN OLYMPIC GAMES.WONDERFUL PLATFORM FOR DEVELOPING SKILLS LIKE COMMAND AND CONTROL, ADMINISTRATIVE THAT TOO IN HIGHLY INHOSPITABLE, VOLATILE AND LEAST DEVELOPED AREAS, OPERATIONAL AND QUICK DECISION MAKING SKILLS.
