Passing-out parade for 530 Agniveers
Margao:
'Once you don the military uniform, you no longer remain your individual self but become a symbol of our nation's aspirations, pride, and security,' said brigadier Harsh Bhatia as he addressed 530 newly trained Agniveers at their passing-out parade held at 2 Signal Training Centre, Margao, on Tuesday.
The ceremony marked the successful completion of 31 weeks of rigorous military and technical training, transforming civilian youth into disciplined soldiers of the Indian Army's Corps of Signals. The parade showcased military precision and grandeur while underscoring the core values instilled during their intensive training period.
The comprehensive training programme included basic military training (BMT) and advanced military training (AMT), with recruits undergoing early morning physical training, drill sessions, weapons training, and academic instruction in military subjects.
Night training exercises were also incorporated to develop the fighting spirit and team cohesion essential for military operations.
Several Agniveers received recognition for exceptional performance. Agniveers Patil Piyush Ramesh, Rajat Indauliya, and Govind Kumar were awarded the overall 1st in merit medal in their respective courses.
Agniveer Devara Siva earned the best in physical & sports medal, while Agniveer Biaksh Gauda received the best in drill medal.
