The group from the college was received warmly there by Major Ajay Rana who was kind enough to be the guide for the day. The students were first taken to the museum in Chetwood Hall where they saw many war relics and weapons. Next, they were guided to Khetarpal Block. The students also visited the war memorial there and were told that the data of all the martyrs of the nation is preserved and updated regularly. The students also got to know about the battalions stationed there currently and then came the delightful moment for them when they saw the horses which are used for the training of the cadets.
The students were provided invaluable knowledge along with career counseling at the academy by Mr Piyush Behania. Finally, the students gathered at Major Vikram Batra mess for refreshments.
It was a truly an unforgettable experience for everyone on this educational tour and the students were overwhelmed with everything they got to see, learn, and understand there.
