Since it’s inception 64 years ago, National Defence Academy has steadily grown both in stature and in eminence. This historical monument with its awesome grandeur is indeed a silent spectator, a mute witness to so many heroes who have set human records, scaled new heights and fought with elan for the safety, security and honour of our motherland. One gets simply baffled at its architectural elegance, meaningful ambience and the old-age traditions and practices.
NDA has emerged as an iconic institution, global brand of excellence promoting jointmanship and camaraderie. Inevitably, NDA’s tryst with destiny has moulded many a great leader of valour, who have lived up to his ethos “Service Before Self”. Its alumni have established a reputation of professionalism, dedication and self sacrifice that has made our tri-services legendary. As commandant of this great institution, I am delighted to welcome you to NDA’s website.
During your visit, you will journey through some eloquent periods of the Academy history. This is to give you a sense of the past which has moulded what we see of the NDA today. You will catch glimpses of the multifarious training activities which convert young boys into professional military leaders of character and integrity. In documenting these activities, the purpose is not to focus merely on the processes but also on the philosophy which nourishes them.
Through this website, we wish to uphold the bond of kinship amongst all ex-NDAs alive and strong. This site provides an ideal platform to re-establish connection and exchange notes and experiences. It is also an ideal meeting place to discuss ideas on how to propel this great institution to greater heights.
NDA is not just about men who have achieved greatness in peace or war. It is also about the indomitable spirit of all those who have been enriched by its ethos and who in turn have left behind a part of their souls to make it a wonderful, vibrant and a much admired entity that it is today.
