PUNE: All three
distinguished cadets of the 132 course of the National Defence Academy (NDA)
are students of Sainik Schools from their respective states.
Cadets Vaibhav S Saini, Sanyam Dwivedi and Akash K R were
presented with the gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively, at the passing
out parade of the course. Vaibhav’s great grandfather Dhari Saini fought in the
World War 2 and was killed in action.
Vaibhav, who is from Sonipat, Haryana, told pune-news.com, "Ever since I joined
the Sainik School, it was my dream to join the NDA. I didn't dream of winning
the gold medal but hard work has paid off." Vaibhav has decided to opt for
the infantry arm of the Indian army on completion of his one-year training at
the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun.
Silver medalist Sanyam is from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. He will
be commissioned into the Indian Navy after completing his training at the
Indian Navy Academy (INA). "The training at NDA was tough but I could
complete it because of my instructors' and fellow cadets' support," he
said.
Bronze medalist Akash KR is a student of Sainik School,
Kazhakootam. He said, "I like flying since childhood and hence I decided
to join the Air Force. I would like to become a fighter pilot of single cockpit
aircraft as it offers freedom while flying."
