young cadets would come for training and at the completion of successful
training; they would be given a certificate. Col. Dutt initiated a wonderful
addition to be given along with the certificate, a memento in memory of Lt.
Nawang Kapadia. It is a well-framed certificate with Nawang’s khukri in
original on the top and the entire certificate well mounted and paying rich
tributes to Lt. Nawang Kapadia, his sacrifice and asking young NCC cadets to
follow the examples set by Lt. Nawang. This certificate was distributed to
various NCC cadets who completed the course. They carried back the memory of
this brave soldier of the Indian Army. |
