Onus on you to define the various facets of the art of soldiering: Lt Gen Saini to GCs
The Vice Chief of Indian Army, Lieutenant General S K Saini who was the reviewing officer (RO) of the passing out parade (PoP) complimented the GCs and their instructors for an excellent parade, immaculate turnout, crisp synergised drill movements which indicated high standards of training and discipline.
In his address Lt Gen Saini, exhorted the passing out contingent to dedicate themselves to the service of the nation. He said “you are just a step away from the historic and magnificent moment of your commissioning into the most elite forces. The fundamentals of soldiering have been instilled in you here and the onus is now on your young and firm shoulders to define the various facets of the art of soldiering and to be men of formidable bearing, courage and stature”. He thanked the parents of the passing out course who had motivated their wards to choose such a noble profession to serve the nation and face all threats that our country might be required to counter at present and in the future.
The RO also complimented the 70 Foreign GC and said “I am sure, you as ambassadors of your country carry back a treasure of fond memories of IMA and training which you shall cherish for a lifetime. The Indian Military Academy has imparted training which will form the bedrock for your growth, both professional and personal, and will definitely strengthen the ties between our countries”.
