A colourful ceremonial parade was presented by these proud young Guardsmen, who are the newest additions to the armed forces as members of Brigade of The Guards, an Army regiment.
The motivated and spirited young Guardsmen (members of 101 Recruit Course) have earned their status after a challenging and strenuous training of 34 weeks, a release from defence PRO said.
Keeping with the age old traditions, they were administered the oath of allegiance and devotion to duty by the Adjutant.
The Guards Regimental Centre was initially raised at Delhi in 1950, moved to Kota in 1956 and further moved to its present location in Kamptee in 1976.
The Regimental Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art training infrastructure and aids to ensure that the best quality training is imparted to the recruits.
Brigadier D V Singh, Commandant, Guards Regimental Centre, reviewed the parade, the release added.
