It was an emotional moment for the nine Gentleman Cadets (GC) of Tajikistan who passed out from the Indian Military Academy (IMA) today.
As the Reviewing Officer of the passing-out parade (POP) General Dr SF Rodrigues (retd) unpinned the flaps, the GCs from Tajikistan became full-fledged officers.
We will always miss India. It was really a memorable and enjoyable experience during our four-year stay in India, said Galib Jone of Tajikistan, who became a Lieutenant today.
After the POP, the group of foreign cadets said that India is a country with really good and helpful people.
From Kanyakumari to New Delhi, we have been to all parts of India. It is beyond any doubt that this country is simply lovable, said Ahideen, while adding that most Tajik GCs had learnt Hindi too.
He added that the three-year study in the NDA and one-year rigorous training at IMA had been wonderful.
Besides, giving us love and respect, IMA authorities cooperated with us at every stage.
Sharing his experience, Furked from Tajikistan said that India is a friendly country and people are simply lovable.
During our four-years stay in India, we never felt alone. We didnt face any problem whatsoever because of the extra-cordial attitude of the people, he remarked.
Another Tajik GC Ahadeen said that he was very impressed with the historical monuments of India.
He also said that if given an opportunity, he would like to visit India again.
Meanwhile, for the cadets who were commissioned into the Indian armed forces on lower ranks, but because of their hard work got selected to the Army Cadet College (ACC) Wing and finally passed out from IMA, todays POP was very special.
Pawan Kumar Solanki and K Venketashan from the ACC were on cloud nine today. We are extremely happy to become officers. Our hard work has finally paid off.
Solankis father Om Parkash was equally delighted. Serving in the army is the only profession which is known for honesty, he said while hugging his son.
K Venketashans father Kakkil was so happy that he had tears in his eyes.
He said, Due to some physical problems, I couldnt join the armed forces but my son has fulfilled my dream.
