Our mission aligns with national and state interests, focusing on infrastructure and strategic training to empower the next generation.
By the end of january, 2025 our trainees who entered different branches of Armed Forces, Para-Military Forces and Police Forces have gone up to 6805 (6633 Boys & 172 Girls). These are the figures of those trainees who have physically reported in the Academy before their departure to various training centres for training. There is a large number of those who never inform us due to lack of time when they are required to join at the earliest by completing formalities. Yet we are sure that many have not come back to us to inform. We on behalf of our Academy like to impress upon all the trainees and their parents and wards to please inform us about their induction in the Defence forces. We make this request with the idea that while preparing our Roll of Honour in the Academy, all of our selected trainees find their place on this Honour Roll which is published from time to time.
