For all the doors that shut on me, I came back to buy the building. Hold on till pain ends, “I never lose, I either win or learn.” –Nelson Mandela. These were the lines that kept me going till my last attempt. I would like to thank everybody who supported me and helped me get this far. Good day, everyone! My name is Enoch Daniel, I was recommended for NDA-146 from 33 SSB Bhopal (Indian Navy) on 18th of February, 2021.  After two failures, the happiness after hearing the officer calling out my chest number had me stumped and I stood as still as a statue!

Ever since I joined the NCC in middle school, I dreamt of joining the Armed Forces, in fact my inclination towards the Indian Navy takes its roots in INS Vikramaditya. I was fortunate to get a chance to visit the vessel and learn about her. It was during this visit when I got to know about the National Defence Academy, and that was the day I decided that I will join NDA. “Whatever it takes!”, was what I told myself that day.

After I failed to clear the written exam for NDA-144, I made the best use of the time I had in the lockdown of 2020 and prepared for the NDA 145 and 146 exams and managed to get a decent 400+ marks. I got my call for the SSB and I over-prepared for NDA-145 and was not able to express my true self. I managed to get till the conference. I learnt a lot from my first attempt and I made perseverance and resilience as my best mates, since I had only one attempt left.

For my second attempt, I took each stage and each task, one at a time. I did a lot of self-introspection.  Also, I met some officers who told me the Do’s and Don’ts that I was not aware of.  They guided and nurtured me and boosted my confidence. I also practiced writing TATWATSRT and SDT. I learnt a lot from my first attempt and improved each time I wrote.

My advice to the aspirants, never forget why each one of you has come this far. Break the whole procedure into small parts and take everything, one at a time. Even if some tasks goes bad, don’t make the same mistakes again, stay calm and always focus on the next task. Think before acting /answering. Never feel intimidated, always be confident. Stop obsessing about the technical details and start feeling the procedure of SSB and be your true self.

Deepsikha Chettri, 2nd woman officer from Sikkim to serve the Indian Army

“There are many things that seem impossible only so long as one does not attempt them.”
― André Gide,

Deepsikha Chettri has been making the people of her State proud. She is only the second women officer from Sikkim to ever serve the Indian Army. However, she is not just an army officer, but a doctor too. She has marched in an arena, where only men are seen more frequently. She is slowly becoming an inspiration for young girls.

Chief Minister of Sikkim, Prem Singh Tamang also congratulated Deepsikha Chettri on successfully joining the Indian Army. He took to his social media account to congratulate Dr. Deepsikha Chettri on accomplishing the captain rank in the Indian Army and becoming the second female officer from Sikkim to ever serve in the Indian Armed Forces.

I wish her more milestones and success in all her endeavours and hope she inspires others to follow suit, he further added.
