MEDALS OF HONOUR<br />
Some goals are so worthy its glorious even to fail. —<br />
Capt Manoj Kumar Pandey, PVC<br />
The Academy instils in each cadet the essence of<br />
the Academy motto of Seva Parmo Dharma and<br />
inspires him into acts of valour in the interest of<br />
the nation. It is not surprising, therefore, that its<br />
alumni have always led from the front, striking<br />
terror in enemy hearts and carving out victories<br />
against all odds. They have, by example, lived<br />
the virtues that each cadet needs to epitomise<br />
to become a true leader. The nation has<br />
honoured their acts of bravery and leadership<br />
