8 Things Every Defence Aspirant Can learn From General Bipin Rawat

0
Defence Aspirant Can learn From General Bipin Rawat

Gen Bipin Rawat is the 27th Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army. He became the chief on 17 December 2016, by superseding two more senior Lieutenant Generals, Praveen Bakshi and P. M. Hariz. He is the fourth officer from the Gorkha Brigade to become the Chief of the Army Staff. Prior to his appointment as COAS, Gen Rawat assumed the post of GOC-C Southern Command on 1 January 2016 and the post of Vice Chief of Army Staff on 1 September 2016.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

Here are 8 things that all the defence aspirants can learn from the life and career of Gen Bipin Rawat:

  1. Sword of Honour is a lifetime achievement:

Gen Rawat won the Sword of Honour when he graduated from the Indian Military Academy in 1978. Of all his course mates, this was his first achievement as a commissioned officer in the Indian army. This carries a long way in life and career.

  1. Adaptability:

Gen Rawat hails from Pauri Garhwal in Uttarakhand, got commissioned in the Gorkha Rifles, commanded the Indian Brigade in UN peacekeeping mission in Congo and went on the command the Pune-based Southern Army Command. If this does not speak about his adaptability, just like many other officers, I don’t know what will.

  1. Studies Never End:

Studying is an integral part of succeeding in life. There comes a point when the ladder of success runs out of stairs. It is when you need to make new stairs and that comes by education. Gen Rawat is a graduate of the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington and the Higher Command Course at Fort Leavenworth, USA. He has an MPhil in Defence Studies from Madras University, a Diploma in Management and another in Computer Studies. In 2011, he was awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy by Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut for his research on military-media strategic studies. Studies are never-ending. Make your mind up for that and start working on it.

  1. Your Father is your major inspiration:

Gen Bipin Rawat’s father Lt Gen Lakshman Singh Rawat retired as the Deputy Chief of Army Staff in 1988 and is his inspiration, Gen Bipin Rawat followed his father’s footsteps to rise to the highest rank in the army. This is perhaps for the first time that the son of the former Deputy Chief will go on to become the chief of the 1.3 million strong Indian Army.

  1. Accidents are meant to learn from it and move on:

On 3 Feb 2015, Gen Bipin Rawat survived a helicopter crash when the single-engine helicopter he was flying crashed minutes after it took off from Dimapur, Nagaland. Unfortunately, while Gen Rawat was recovering from his accident, his father passed away just a week later on 11 Feb 2015.

Current Affairs eBooks
  1. Don’t take it easy on terrorists:

In June 2015, 18 Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush by militants belonging to UNLFW in Manipur. The Indian Army responded with cross-border surgical strikes by 21 Para who struck an NSCN-K base in Myanmar. 21 Para was under the operational control of the Dimapur-based III Corps, which was then commanded by Gen Rawat.

  1. Iron fist for the enemies of the world :

Gen Rawat commanded the Indian brigade during the UN peacekeeping operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2008. Indian peacekeepers performed splendidly under his leadership. The general is credited with providing dynamic leadership under the UN banner. The Indian peacekeepers switched their approach from a velvet glove to an iron fist under his leadership. He was twice awarded the Force Commander’s Commendation.

  1. Be ready to take on new roles and challenges:

Gen Rawat commanded a spectrum of formations before becoming the chief. He commanded a company in Uri, an infantry battalion in the Eastern sector along the LAC, 5 Sector of Rashtriya Rifles (Sopore) as brigade commander, 19 Infantry Division (Uri), III Corps (Dimapur) and was General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-C) Southern Command (Pune). He also held staff assignments at the Indian Military Academy (Dehradun), General Staff Officer Grade 2 at the Military Operations Directorate, logistics staff officer of a Re-organised Army Plains Infantry Division (RAPID) in central India, Colonel Military Secretary and Deputy Military Secretary in the Military Secretary’s Branch and Senior Instructor in the Junior Command Wing. He also commanded MONUSCO for the UN Peacekeeping mission.

Conclusion:

No matter how much you achieve in life, there is always scope for new learnings in life and we must always keep on expanding our scope for improvement. This can not be taught better by anyone else except the life of Gen Bipin Rawat itself.

A living inspiration!

IAF OFFICER HONEY TRAPPED - CHARGES OF SPYING

An Indian Air Force officer, posted at the Air HQs here, has been taken into custody on charge of spying, sources said on Wednesday.

According to a source, during a routine counter intelligence surveillance carried out by the IAF’s Central Security and Investigation Team, the officer, who is a group captain, was found indulging in “unwanted activities through unauthorised electronic devices”.

The source added that the officer has been taken into custody for further questioning.

The services have a strict code on engaging on social media, which restricts soldiers from sharing their identity, rank, posting and other professional details.

The restrictions include posting pictures in uniform.

In December, 2015, a dismissed IAF official was arrested by the Delhi Police for allegedly passing on information to intelligence operatives suspected to be backed by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

Real Story Behind Shopain Firing -Plot To Defame Army EXPOSED

Real Story Behind Shopain Firing

Source: Republic It was on Sunday that the Jammu-Kashmir police booked Major Aditya and the Army’s 10 Garhwal for murder and attempt to murder for the Shopian firing. The move came after a group of stone pelters attacked an army convoy in Shopian, after which the Army had to resort to retaliatory firing. Two civilians were killed in the firing.

Now, Republic TV has accessed an information that says the army convoy was under attack by the stone-pelters and the army fired at the pelters for self defence.

Story Behind Shopain Firing
Injured Soldiers

Real Story Behind Shopain Firing

  • 10 Garhwal Rifles was being replaced by another unit.
  • They were supposed to move to Balapora and there were two routes. In one route, there was stone pelting in morning and hence the 20 vehicle convoy, including three QRT, decided to take Ganapura road. At one point in the route, the vehicles were to take a right turn.
  • However, three vehicles missed the turn and went ahead by about 100 metres. They then reversed and hence speed decreased.
  • This is when stone pelting started. A JCO got off the vehicle to assess the situation. He got hit in head and collapsed.
  • The crowd became more belligerent. The army personnel fired shot in the air. The crowd still did not go back and continued pelting stones. When the pelters came too close is when the Army opened fire.

Sources said that the army had indeed fired in air 3-4 times, however, it opened fire when the crowd was 10 metres away from the unconscious JCO.

Furthermore, Sources told Republic that Major Aditya was not even present at the spot at the time of the incident. Meanwhile, internet services have been blocked in Pulwama, Anantnag, Kulgam and Shopian and curfew has been imposed in parts of the valley. The public transport in the valley and train services between Baramulla and Banihan have been suspended.

5 Ways to Deal With Failure in Your Career

0
5 WAYS TO DEAL WITH FAILURE IN YOUR CAREER

“The beauty of life is that whatever happens and however it happens, it goes on.”
Our lives are an amalgamation of ‘success’ and ‘failure’. For a child, his ‘success’ can be tying his shoelaces on his own. His ‘failure’ can be tripping over the same laces. But in hindsight, it is realized, that these were neither success nor failures, they were merely experiences.
How To Prepare for SSB Interview:

A failure or even a series of failures can impact you negatively. How you reassemble your thoughts and move on from that point on defines you as an individual.

Here are 5 ways to deal with failures:

  1. Let it all out
    We sometimes tend to think that no one will be able to understand our situation. We milk our problem for too long, all alone. But, if we just take the time out and start sharing our problem with people we trust, a clarity of mind begins to set in.
  2. Failure is universal
    By her own submission, JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, had her books being rejected by a number of publishers. Right now, it seems impossible for us to accept this fact as she is extremely famous. But, it did happen. Just imagine if she would have given up writing fearing more failures. It is by example that we should learn that failure is temporary. Faith and conviction in oneself and one’s talent should always keep one going.
  3. Move onto the next project
    Life is more than what today holds. Life is a sea of opportunities. These opportunities can only be availed by you if you act fast. If you hit a roadblock, don’t wait for the traffic to clear. Backup your vehicle and move along another road. Who knows you meet up with your destination via the other way?
  4. Don’t let anyone get to you
    There might be instances when someone tries to make us feel bad because of one bad experience. DO NOT let this get to you. You are not, in any way, lesser than any individual. All you have to do is work hard for the next opportunity. If your parents get worried, explain to them that this is just a small bad phase and with their support, you can ultimately achieve what you want.
  5. It does not define you
    It is human tendency to remember all the bad phases but forget the good phases. But we must always remember that any bad phase of your life does not define you. You are a good human being if your kind, respectful of the law, confident and headstrong. These are the only qualities you need to imbibe and repeat about yourself, over and over again.

“No matter how often you fail, you are not a failure as long as you don’t give up.”
True, indeed.
