The Officers Training Academy (OTA) has been playing an important role in transforming the lives of several cadets by encouraging them to become better persons. Meet 24-year-old Lt. Divya Tyagi, who has managed to achieve the second-highest position in a batch of 272 cadets through her efforts and dedication.
Hailing from Mohammad Pur village, Modinagar in Uttar Pradesh, her father is a farmer and mother, a housewife. Despite the struggles life has thrown her way, she worked hard to come this far.
Life in OTA when she joined, she said, was not simple.
“Within two days, we had a test of 2.4 km run – which took me 16 minutes to complete in the beginning and now, I can cover the distance in 10 minutes,” she added proudly.
She is ever grateful for the 11-month training at the academy, which is coming to an end on September 10. She said she also learnt discipline and responsibility – a factor she never took seriously until she stepped into OTA. “I got to explore my talents here,” she said.
The most coveted “Sword of Honour” for Best All Round Gentlemen/Lady Cadet of the Passing Out Course was presented to AUO Varun Singh Chauhan. The Gold Medal for standing first in Order of Merit was awarded to Battalion under Officer (BUO) Alla Shridhar and the Silver Medal for standing second in Overall Order of Merit was awarded to Academy Cadet Adjutant (ACA) Divya Tyagi. The Bronze Medal for standing third was awarded to BUO Rakesh TR.
