Source: TOI Barnana Gunnaya couldn’t stop his eyes from welling up with tears as he saw his son Giri Barnana Yadagiri in an Army officer’s uniform at the Indian Military Academy’s passing out parade in Dehradun on Saturday.
Gunnaya, who till recently used to work as a daily wager earning Rs 100 per day in a cement factory in Hyderabad, didn’t even know till a day before the parade that his son was being commissioned as an officer.
“My father is a very simple man. He thought that I was getting into the Army as a soldier. In fact, he told me I was making a huge mistake by leaving a highly-paid software job to join the Army,” said Yadagiri, who overcame extreme financial difficulties to become a software engineer from the International Institute of Information Technology in Hyderabad. After refusing a job offer from Union Pacific Rail Road, a US-based company, and saying no to a call from IIM Indore — where he had secured admission after scoring 93.4 percent in the CAT exam — Yadagiri decided to “follow my heart and serve the country.”
On Saturday, with his proud parents watching with misty eyes, he received the IMA’s prestigious silver medal for standing first in the order of merit in the Technical Graduate Course, which paves the way for cadets with a technical background to join the Army’s engineering units. Recounting the struggles that he had to undergo before savouring this moment, the young officer who sustained his studies through government scholarships, told TOI, “I have seen days when my father earned only Rs 60 after a day’s hard work and my mother who is afflicted with polio clean office tables to make both ends meet.”
Despite having seen such financial hardships, he says he was never tempted by money. “I had the option of sticking to the corporate world and making a lot of money but that was not where my heart lay. The kind of mental satisfaction one gets by working for the motherland cannot be replaced by any amount of money.”
On what he is looking forward to most after achieving his dream of becoming an Army officer, the young man who loves public speaking and reading books, said, “The basic character of hard work is already there in my genes. I will ensure that I fulfill my duties in a manner that makes the country proud by working in the defence research and development stream.”
The passing out parade of the Indian Military Academy (IMA) will be held Saturday at the grounds in front of the famed Chetwode Building.
A total of 409 Indian gentleman cadets will complete the ‘last step’ on the edge of the Chetwode Building before being commissioned as lieutenants in the army. Bangladesh army chief General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq will review the parade. IMA commandant Lt. Gen. SK Jha will accompany Gen. Huq.
Uttarakhand, a relatively small state, is again high on the list with 38 gentleman cadets. Neighbour Uttar Pradesh has the most representatives with 76. Haryana will have 58 army officers this time, followed by Bihar 25, Rajasthan 23, Delhi 22, Madhya Pradesh 19 and West Bengal 6. There will be 2 officers from Gujarat. Mizoram and Nagaland will send 1 officer each to the army.
Another 78 gentleman cadets from Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Sri Lanka will also graduate to become officers in the armies of their respective countries. Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Darbara Singh, a retired army personnel who lives in Mohali, will be a special invitee. Singh has earned fame for his stint as an instructor at the National Defence Academy, Pune.
A total of 409 gentlemen cadets, including those from abroad, completed the Passing out Parade on Saturday at the Indian Military Academy before being commissioned into the armies of their respective countries after completing the autumn training course.
The gentlemen cadets had been in the IMA for around one and a half year. Seventy-eight cadets from Maldives, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka also graduated from the IMA.
Early in the morning, the gentleman cadets assembled in the drill square of the Chetwode Building where they conducted the march past to the military tunes of “Colonel Bogey” and “Sare jahan se achha’. The parade was reviewed by Bangladesh army chief General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq.
The Chief of Army staff Banner was handed over to the Nowshera company for being overall first among 16 companies. The coveted sword of honour went to Chandrakant Acharya, who also won the Gold medal bestowed to the cadet standing first in Order of Merit. The silver medal went to Amarpreet Singh Dhatt.
The Silver medal for the gentleman cadet standing first in order of merit in the Technical Graduate Course was given to Barnna Yadagiri. Alexandar Simonaitis from Kazakhstan was awarded the Silver medal for standing first in order of merit among foreign gentleman cadets.
Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Darbara Singh witnessed the parade as a special invitee. Darbara Singh is a legend to many officers for whom he has been the disciplinarian instructor at the National Defense Aacademy, Pune.
After the Pipping Ceremony held at the Somnath stadium in the south campus, IMA commandant Lt Gen SK Jha urged the newly commissioned officers to set high goals in life and not to be deterred by obstacles. “Sky is the limit for you,” he said, reminding them that the training they received was among the best in the world.
