Fifth batch of Agniveers: 326 inducted in Army after emotional passing out parade in Srinagar

The Jammu and Kashmir light infantry (JAK LI) regiment centre in Srinagar witnessed a proud moment on Thursday as 326 young recruits were inducted into the army during the passing out parade (POP) of its fifth Agniveer batch. The newly inducted Agniveers marched in perfect unison after successfully completing 31 weeks of rigorous physical, mental and tactical training. The ceremony was attended by senior army officials, training instructors, and the proud families of the recruits. The reviewing officer, a senior army official, addressed the gathering and congratulated the young soldiers, encouraging them to serve the nation with unwavering commitment and uphold the valour and traditions of the JAK LI regiment. Speaking after the ceremony, one of the Agniveers said, 'I am feeling very good. It was hard work for 31 weeks. It was great to see my parents after a period of 7 months.' Another Agniveer shared the emotional moment of completing training, 'It feels good to pass out, as I worked very hard for the recruitment. I'm going home after seven months. More youth should join the army.' 'I feel proud of myself for passing out, especially since the training was very hard,' added another recruit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Men 50+: This 30-Second Ritual May Help With Frequent Urination healthydayscare Click Here Undo 'We will protect the country, and I am ready to be posted anywhere in the country.' Family members, too, were overwhelmed with pride and joy. One parent urged the youth to 'not sit at home after completing their studies because it's a competitive era. As Eid is coming up, we will have two celebrations.' Another from Kupwara, present at the occasion, added, 'We are very happy if my boy is passing out in this POP parade. So that's why we're here to watch the parade. We are very happy to be here in the parade. There is unemployment.'
