He addressed the staff and faculty members present on the occasion of lighting the diya that many wrote legends of love, many taught legends of love but the real love was exemplified by the sacrifice of the martyrs during the Pulwama terrorist attack. He added that our countrymen will never be able to forget the sacrifice of the martyrs. DDA staff, faculty, and the students of the academy also offered flowers as a tribute to the martyrs. “Doon Defence Academy” (DDA) was founded by Ex-Submariner Sandeep Gupta, Indian Navy (retd) in the year 2005.
