My name is Arun Kumar and I live in Mahendragarh, Haryana. My father was in the Indian Army so from a very young age, I was motivated to join the defence forces. After passing 5th Grade, I joined Rashtriya Military School Bangalore where I completed my schooling. Being in RMS and growing up there, I got more and more determined to join the defence forces. I appeared for my NDA exam when I was in 12th and cleared it but, unfortunately, got screened out from SSB. After a few unsuccessful attempts at clearing my SSB, I decided to complete my graduation and apply for the CDS.

The enemy is only 50 yards from us. We are heavily outnumbered. We are under devastating fire. I shall not withdraw an inch but will fight to the last man and the last round

My Name is Nishchal Yadav, I live in Andheri, Mumbai. I recently got recommended from NSB Visakhapatnam for NDA (Navy). I completed senior secondary education from Kendriya Vidyalaya Bhandup. In school , I had very supportive teachers and friends. Because my school was located in Naval Colony, it brightened up my face as I saw officers and sailors in uniform daily. Along with school, I joined Sea Cadet Corps(SCC) from 6th standard and continued till 10th standard which served as the foundation years of my development by acquiring skills and understanding the importance of discipline.
