source: hindustantimes The death of Major Prasad Mahadik on December 30 last year in a fire incident in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh near the Indo-China border has instilled single-minded determination in his 30-year-old wife Gauri Mahadik to pay tribute to her husband. And she wants to do that by joining the Indian Army.
Gauri, who lives in Bolinj, Virar, is a qualified Company Secretary (CS) and a lawyer. She has been working with a reputed law firm in Worli since May 2017 and has also worked with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce.
She wishes to join the Indian Army in whatever capacity she gets employed in, after qualifying the mandatory interviews and other tests. “My joining the Indian Army would be the best tribute to my husband,” she said.
