Territorial Army is providing a golden opportunity to the working professionals and retired officers of the armed forces to join the Territorial Army on a part-time basis. Major Nasreen Fatima, Squadron Leader(Retd.), the lady whose relentless hard work and passion have listed her name in the historical book of Indian Armed Forces! She is one of a kind and words fall short to praise her. Major Nasreen Fatima, Squadron Leader(Retd.) is the first lady from Indian Air Force, Short service commissioned officer who joined Territorial Army. The lady had an inbuilt passion and urge to join the Indian Army since childhood and the scintillating inspiration behind her was her familial background. Not only Major Fatima but her siblings as well are serving since decades in the officer cadre. The Officer did her schooling from Army Public school, Nehru Road, Lucknow and later pursued Master’s in English Literature as well as Post Graduation in Business management.
She proved her mettle when she joined Indian Airforce in Education Branch. She worked in various Airforce establishments/units and her last posting was at National Defence Academy, Pune. The posting tenure and experiences enhanced her interest and dedication in the field of education and after completion of her short service tenure of 10 years, she started working for the welfare of young Indian minds. One of her endeavours was to join Centurion Defence Academy, a unit of Centurion Education Pvt Ltd, Lucknow as an Academic Head in order to contribute her efforts for the educational development of aspirants of Indian Armed Forces. She has proved as an unmatchable benefactor aiding as well in guiding the students for the Interview Prep Tips for SSB. Her philanthropic crusade is enabling many defence aspirants to outshine in the Indian Armed Forces.
No lady stands alone especially a daughter. The Officer was always supported and encouraged by her parents especially her mother who made Nasreen’s dream her own dream enlivening, thriving and supporting the far fetched vision of her daughter till her last breath thus overpowering the joined efforts and perseverance made her prove her mettle to overcome hurdles with a smile lauding such immense success to her. It’s time to venerate and gain some inspiration from the charming lady! Jai Hind
