First President’s Gold medalist winner NDA Cadet


As the 114th batch of cadets passed out from the National Defence Academy (NDA), there was something special about the cadet who commanded the Passing Out Parade as he made history in more than one way.
A farmer's son from Manipur, 21-year-old Yumnam Romen Singh was the first cadet from the Northeast to win the President's Gold Medal and to have the honour of commanding the Passing Out Parade in May 2008.
A big smile on his face saying it all as he posed for photographs along with his parents and siblings after the parade.




Singh, who was from a remote village in Manipur called Lamgmeidong,proudly declared that he was the first person to become a commissioned officer in the armed forces from within a periphery of ten kilometres around his native place.
"My father inspired and motivated me to join the Armed Forces. He is a farmer, but he always wanted me to be in the Armed Forces. He sent me to Sainik School in Imphal and got the application form for the NDA," he said.
The eldest among three brothers, Singh, who is an evidence of the changing profile of the NDA cadets from urban to rural and from high-income to low-income -- said he has now become an inspiration for his siblings as also other youth from his village to join the Armed Forces.

In all, 286 cadets of the 114th course of the NDA passed out and while Singh was awarded the Gold Medal on that ceremony cadets Y N Hirekar and K Laur won the silver and bronze medals, respectively.
There were 14 foreign other cadets from Tajikistan and Bhutan -- among the graduates.
Singh, who has opted for the Indian Air Force (IAF), also expressed the hope that his becoming a commissioned officer would remove the prejudices that people of his region have about the Armed Forces.
