The Assam Regimental Centre held its passing out parade of the third batch of Agniveers here today.
Six hundred fifty eight passed out at the ceremony conducted at the Parsons Parade Ground in Happy Valley. The parade was reviewed by ARC Commandant Brigadier Neelesh Anand Pagulwar.
The ceremonial parade marks the completion of the training schedule for recruits at the training centre. These Agniveers will be serving in Assam Regiment units at various locations.
Brig Pagulwar extolled the virtues of selfless service to the nation and recounted the contributions of the North East and Assam Regiment towards nation building. Complimenting the passing out batch for their immaculate standards, he exhorted the warriors from the North East to persevere in pursuit of excellence.
Swaying to the tilting tune of the Regimental song ‘How beautiful is my Land, the Agniveers erupted in joy to mark a successful transition from enthusiastic recruits to valiant Agniveers.
The attestation and passing out parade was attended by the more than 2000 proud parents and relatives of Agniveers.
The parents were also bestowed with ‘Gaurav Padak’ which is a small token of gratitude by the Indian Army for their dedication to sending their child to serve the Nation.
