JAMMU, Sept 2: J&K Ex-services League president and senior vice president of Indian Ex-Services League ( New Delhi), Maj Gen (Retd) Goverdhan Singh Jamwal inaugurated ‘Ex-servicemen Month’ and also visited Lakshya Defence Academy at Rajinder Vihar in Bari Brahmana area of district Samba today.
While speaking on the occasion, Maj Gen Jamwal applauded the efforts and dedication of Brig Raj Singh in setting up this unique institution to train the youth for the belt forces of India. The League has provided all the facilities, accommodation, training areas etc so that the youth of the State can be trained and guided to join the armed forces, para-military forces and the State police.
Maj Gen (Retd) Jamwal also interacted with the students undergoing training to join belt forces. He advised the students to take full advantage of the training programme to accomplish their goals of joining prestigious Armed Forces. He said that the academy has been opened at Rajinder Vihar Colony established by the League in the name of late Brig Rajinder Singh, the first Mahavir Chakra decorated soldier of independent India.
The academy is dedicated to the youth so that they get training and guidance at very reasonable and affordable costs. He said that training is so well organised that even a raw youth from a remote village can hope to become jawan at his own and also aspire to become an officer in the Armed forces. He complimented Brigadier (Retd) R S Jamwal, director of the academy for the noble idea of imparting physical fitness and written coaching to the youth who desire to join Army, Navy, Air Force, BSF, ITBP, CISE and Police.
Brig Jamwal also spoke on the occasion and said that this idea came to him when he visited his village Suchani and found the youth whiling away their time in cards and gossips without being aware of the future. He said the youth of this region move to Delhi, Chandigarh or Dehradun for getting coaching spending so much money. For this purpose, Lakshya Institute was set up at Rajinder Vihar Colony in Samba district.
