27 NDA Course Reminisces - Hardcover

by Mrinal Suman (Editor)

27 NDA Course is proud of its camaraderie. We were a total of 295 adolescents when we entered the portals of this great institution in the first week of January 1962. Some joined us from the previous courses while some left us for the subsequent courses. We were 282 in number when we passed out on 25 December 1964. We have lost 82 of our course-mates since passing out from NDA.

We celebrated our Golden Jubilee Reunion at NDA from 01 to 03 December 2014. It was a nostalgic occasion. Many of us were reconnecting after five decades. During those three days of bonhomie, we were cadets once again. We relived our old days, renewed old acquaintances and savoured every moment of togetherness. This book chronicles our experiences - selection for NDA, rigours of training, lighter side of life at NDA and the Reunion. It is the first such attempt by any course.

It is no ordinary book. It is an expression of our gratitude to the great institution that moulded us into cerebral and intrepid warriors.
