THE gates to the NDA<br />
The entrance to the NDA is through the Trishakti<br />
Gate which was built in 2011, in consonance with<br />
the spirit of jointmanship. An arterial road from<br />
the Trishakti Gate meanders down the gentlyrolling<br />
hillside to the Pashan Gate, offering a<br />
panoramic view.<br />
Besides the Trishakti and Pashan Gates, the<br />
Academy has four other gates, named after places<br />
which the roads lead to. The Kondhwa Gate<br />
opens up from the President’s Drive and leads<br />
to what was earlier known as Kondhwa village,<br />
while the Ahire Gate aligns with the old road that<br />
leads to Ahire village. The MES Gate provides an<br />
entrance to the MES and the Kudje Gate is on the<br />
road that leads to Peacock Bay. The gates were<br />
named so by Vice Admiral M P Awati during his<br />
stint as the Commandant.<br />
