About NDA

The National Defence Academy (NDA) is a unique and pioneering Tri-Service Academy of the World, training Male and Female Cadets for all three Services. Aptly regarded as the Cradle of Military Leadership, since its inception in 1948, the Academy has trained more than 38000 Cadets including 1000 Cadets from Friendly Foreign Countries. The NDA has given Independent India two CDS, 14 Army Chiefs, 12 Navy Chiefs and 10 Air Chiefs. Its alumni have distinguished themselves on and off the battlefield, living up to its famous adage ‘Seva Parmo Dharma’. 

Commemorating 75 Glorious Years of its inception, NDA’s journey marks its conjoined and ascendant trajectory with that of Independent India, which has recently celebrated its Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, and which continues to repose its trust on the Academy for producing future officers responsible for its Security, Stability, Integration and Nation Building, as it stands firmly poised on its path of Greatness and its vision of becoming the Vishwa Guru in the global comity of Nations.
