Guwahati: The Assam Regimental Centre of the Indian Army on Saturday organised a passing out parade for the first batch of Agniveers in Meghalaya’s Shillong. Altogether 44 Agniveers were inducted into the Indian Army in a scintillating ceremony organised at the Parsons Parade Ground in the state capital. The parade was reviewed by the commandant of the Assam Regimental Centre, Brigadier Dinesh Chandra Singh Kanyal. The ceremonial passing out parade marked the completion of the training schedule of the Agniveers. 

The Agniveers will be serving in the Assam Regiment Units at various locations spread across the country.

The new recruits were congratulated by Brigadier Kanyal for their immaculate standards who exhorted them to strive for perfection and be steadfast in their pursuit of excellence.

Swaying to the tune of the regimental song, the Agniveers erupted in joy to mark a successful transition from enthusiastic recruits to valiant soldiers.

Parents of the Agniveers, who felt honoured to send their sons to serve the nation, attended the ceremony.

Besides Shillong, the first batch of 704 Agniveers from two regiments on Saturday passed out in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district, said an official statement.  

These include 520 Agniveers from the Sikh Regiment and 184 from the Punjab Regiment who passed out in two different parade ceremonies in the garrison town of Ramgarh.
