The 31 weeks of training was designed to mould them into battle ready soldiers, thereby exposing them to tough and challenging physical and mental conditioning. The Agniveers also imbibed military ethos, regimental tarteeb, social etiquettes, camaraderie and unrelenting sprit to be a disciplined soldier and a responsible citizen of India,” the statement added.

“As a mark of respect, the event commenced with Rastriya Salute to the National Flag followed by marching in and oath taking parade which was reviewed by Brig HS Burn, Commandant, Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry Regimental Centre, and pipping of Agniveers. Thereafter, the Bana Singh Parade Ground reverberated with the regimental song followed by National Anthem, which electrified the entire environment,” the statement added.
