Open Means Open Means

As an old soldier, I urge you to step forward in your career with confidence, emulating the spirit and skill of Lachit Barphukan.

Maharashtra and Assam may be at two opposite ends of our vast and great country but they stand united by a common history, a common heritage and a common spirit. During the medieval period they produced two great military leaders of our country, Chhatrapati Shivaji in Maharashtra and Lachit Barphukan in Assam. It is in the fitness of things that our National Defense Academy, the cradle for military leadership is located at the home of the great Shivaji. It is also very appropriate that the statue of Lachit Barphukan is being installed at this Academy. This is not only pays homage to the memory of one of our great military leaders of medieval India but also underscores national spirit and promotes national integration.Maharashtra and Assam may be at two opposite ends of our vast and great country but they stand united by a common history, a common heritage and a common spirit.
