Pune, Oct 29: Army Chief General MM Naravane on Friday asked National Defence Academy (NDA) cadets to welcome women cadets with the same sense of fair play and professionalism as Indian armed forces are known for the world over.
While addressing the passing out parade of the 141st course at the National Defence Academy in Pune, General Naravane also talked about the importance of all the three forces and said, “No single service in itself can fight and win modern wars. The bonds you have found here need to be continuously nurtured not just in social but in the professional arena also”.
He also stressed the need to continuously gain knowledge through professional education even after passing out from the academy to deal with the changing nature of wars.
“New developments in niche technologies are transforming the very character of war. Therefore it is important that you keep yourself abreast of these changes through regular professional education”, added the Army Chief.
Notably, the Supreme Court on August 18 declared women and females in the country eligible to take the National Defence Academy (NDA) entrance test.
