 PART I – GENERAL

Brief History

1. The National Defence Academy (NDA) has the unique distinction of being the first
institution in the world to impart joint training to officer Cadets of the Army, Navy and
Air Force. The concept and genesis of NDA dates back to the period before
Independence and evolved from the lessons learnt during World War II.
2. One of the major lessons learnt during the World War II was that the three Services
had to be fully integrated and functional as a single strike force in order to be effective
in war. Although, mooted by senior British military leaders like Lord Mountbatten and
Field Marshal Auchinleck, India’s far-sighted and visionary political leadership of that
period gave its full support to the establishment of a tri-service training facility.
Consequently, the Government of India appointed a high-powered committee in
May 1945 to prepare a scheme for the establishment of a Military Academy,
incorporating the best practices of all such institutions world-wide to conduct
Joint Training of the future officers for the Army, Navy and Air Force.
3. Based on the report submitted by this Committee in 1946, the Indian Military
Academy located at Dehradun was re-named as the Armed Forces Academy, and split
into two wings: the “Inter-Services Wing” (later known as Joint Services Wing) and the
“Military Wing”. It was Inter-Services Wing where combined training for the three
Services commenced in January 1949. This was subsequently re-located from
Dehradun to Khadakwasla and known as the National Defence Academy.

4. After an extended country-wide reconnaissance for a site, which would provide

adequate space and potential for creating training facilities for all the three Services,
Khadakwasla was chosen as the new home for the Inter-Services Wing in 1947. The
location had till then, been used as a Combined Warfare School for allied troops and
was therefore suitable for this purpose. The foundation stone of NDA was laid at
Khadakwasla by the then Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on
06 October 1949 and the herculean task of shifting this Institution from Dehradun to
Khadakwasla was successfully performed under the able supervision of the then
Commandant, Maj Gen E Habibullah. NDA was formally inaugurated by the then Chief
Minister of Bombay, Shri Morarji Desai on 16 January 1955. The first Passing Out
Parade (POP) held at NDA was reviewed by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on
05 June 1955.

5. The NDA has rendered 75 years of distinguished service and is proud of having
produced nearly 40,650 Officers for the Indian Armed Forces and nearly 1000 Officers for
Friendly Foreign Countries. These Officers have imbibed Academic and Military training of
the highest standards, in a unique Inter-services environment. NDA alumni have been
conferred with Nation’s highest awards for gallantry and distinguished service, both in
peace and war. NDA also holds the distinction, wherein three Cadets from the first JSW
Course, three Cadets of NDA 56 Course and 61 Course took over the REINS, of their
respective Services in the year 1991 and 2020, at the same time which is very unique and
rare. NDA also holds the distinction of giving the Nation its first Chief of Defence Staff,
Gen Bipin Rawat, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, YSM, SM, VSM, ADC who laid down his life
while serving the motherland on 08 December 2021. Notably, NDA has also contributed
36 Service Chiefs to the three services.

6. In addition to Service and Joint Military Training, NDA also imparts contemporary
education in Engineering, Science, Military Technology, Arts and Computer Science to
the Cadets. At the end of their training, Cadets receive a degree from the prestigious
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). While young Cadets undergo training to face the
challenges of modern day warfare, they also undergo a rigorous physical and mental
training regimen including a wide array of activities like Calisthenics, Drill, Swimming,
Horse-Riding and numerous team and individual sporting activities. Concurrently, a
Cadet’s horizon is shaped and expanded through exposure to various cultural activities,
hobby and adventure clubs.

7. As we move past the first two decades of the new millennium, we are sanguine that
the finest among Indian youth will continue to pass out from the portals of this iconic
institution for the service of the nation, and for living up to the Academy’s motto ‘Seva
Parmo Dharma’ or ‘Service Before Self’.

EVOLUTION OF THE ACADEMY INSIGNIA

ORIGINAL INSIGNIA-1948 PRESENT INSIGNIA

The Academy Insignia

8. The Academy insignia of 1948 depicts its Joint Services character. This insignia was
designed to develop and foster camaraderie between the three services, and
underwent several changes between 1949 and 1956. The present insignia depicts the
NDA Crest symbolizing the three services; the Cross Swords, the Anchor and the
Himalayan Eagle surmounted by the Ashoka emblem on a maroon background. The
symbols represent the Indian Army’s martial valour, the stability and poise of the Indian
Navy and the soaring aspirations and reach of the Indian Air Force. The Ashoka
emblem is symbolic of the new Republic and depicts the pride in serving the
motherland. The scroll at the base epitomises the ideal of ‘Seva Parmo Dharma’ or
‘Service Before Self’ which is derived from the concept of ‘Nishkaam Karma’ of the
Bhagavad Gita.

Philosophy of Service & Academics Training

Firing for Army Cadets at the Long Range

9. At the Academy, Cadets belonging to the three services live and train together.
This ensures that the Officers of the three services develop camaraderie and broad
understanding of the ethos, organisation, capabilities and limitations of their own as
well as their sister services. Training is focused towards imbibing Jointmanship
amongst Cadets of all services, to enable them to operate as an integrated fighting
force.

syllabus is uniquely formulated and integrated in philosophy and character, designed to
meet specific requirements of the Armed Forces. Cadets undergo training in B Tech,
Science, Computer Science and Social Science subjects. Overall, Academic training
aims to provide Cadets with a contemporary education, alongwith an Armed Forces
specific orientation, which shall serve as a much needed primer for Professional
Military Education to follow.

social networking website (format attached as Annexure XI).

Physical Conditioning

32. It is imperative that candidates desiring to join the NDA, attain a certain degree of
physical fitness which will facilitate their smooth adaptation to the training schedule at
the Academy. It has been observed that a majority of selected candidates, particularly
those hailing from urban areas are in poor physical condition on joining the Academy.
As a result of this, such candidates find it difficult to cope up with the training routine.
Inadequate physical conditioning also inhibits the Cadets’ academic performance.
Cadets are advised to achieve basic proficiency in cycling, since bicycles serve as the
basic mode of conveyance within the Academy.

33. Prospective candidates are, therefore, advised to keep themselves in good

physical condition, by following the under mentioned regimen daily:-
(a) Jogging 3 to 5 Kms interspersed with short sprints.
(b) Skipping.
(c) Pushups and Sit ups (minimum 40 each).

shortest route. A cash receipt/ticket is to be obtained from the railway authorities
showing the amount of railway fare spent. This is to be attached to the Travelling
Allowance claim, which will be produced by candidates on arrival at the NDA. Failure
to produce the railway receipt/ticket will result in foregoing the claim. Reservation and
berth charges are also reimbursed against proper receipt/ticket numbers. Service
Cadets are to travel on railway warrant to be issued by the Officer Commanding of their
units. Claims in respect of travel by modes other than train would be restricted to the
AC-III tier railway fare or the actual expenditure whichever is less.
