NDA to celebrate 60 years of service

Pune, Sep 24 (UNI) On the occasion of completing 60 years of glorious service to the nation and to the Armed Forces in January 2009, The National Defence Academy (NDA), the Premier Tri-Service training institution of the country, has organised many events.

The events include a sailing expedition by the officers and cadets of NDA to a few Indian Ocean Region countries on board a Sail Training Ship ''Tarangini''.

The events are scheduled from September 22 to to November 24, a NDA press note said here today.

The sailing expedition will provide the cadets an opportunity to interact with officers and cadets of other countries and also go a long away in projecting the ethos of this great institution. It will also provide them an ideal platform to gain first hand experience of the vagaries at sea and foster characteristic virtues of courage, comradeship and endurance.
