DEVELOPMENT OF OFFICERS LIKE QUALITIES (OLQs)

Armed Forces are supposed to perform the role of a saviour and hence compromising the quality of its men would be disastrous. And it is for this purpose that the Armed Forces have adopted a very peculiar and scientific procedure for selecting men in its Officer Cadre. They realized that a man is not just the outcome of his heredity but also of his environment which works in close coordination and result in a unique behavioural pattern in him. The Armed Forces have realized the fact that the success of any person depends upon his behavioural qualities and hence thorough scanning of qualities must be done before employing the candidate.

These qualities are referred to as Officer Like Qualities or in short the OLQs. As of now a list of 15 OLQs has been designed out of which the same qualities are innate some are acquired and some are beyond the reach of training that is imparted. SSB is not about one’s academic achievements it is all about how one projects oneself. The intelligence associated only with academic ability and academic achievement is of no use at all in practical situations. Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence and Effective Intelligence are the virtues that come into play there. Emotional Intelligence helps a person to respond wisely in unfavourable situations like difficulties coming one’s way, failures in one’s life and rejections and disapproval faced.

Social Intelligence makes a person interact with others according to the norms and situational requirements. A wrong decision may lead to chaos and discord. Hence, Social Intelligence helps in Social Adjustment. Effective Intelligence comes into play while facing practical situations of varying complexity. In practical life, solutions are either created or improvised. An intelligent person takes a total view of the situation and acts accordingly. It is a myth that the Armed Forces do not need an intelligent lot. But the difference lies in their definition of Intelligence.

The 15 OLQs judged while selecting an officer in the Indian Armed Forces are as follows:-

1. Effective Intelligence
2. Reasoning Ability
3. Organizing Ability
4. Power of Expression
5. Social Adaptability
6. Co-operation
7. Sense of Responsibility
8. Initiative
9. Self Confidence
10. Speed of Decision
11. Ability to Influence the Group
12. Liveliness
13. Determination
14. Courage
15. Stamina

Sports : Sports in DDA is a Passion; An inalienable Part of life.

Excellence in various games and sports is the hallmark of DDA.

A vibrant sports curriculum aided by professional coaches has enabled the Cadets to compete at State and National levels.

Cadets of DDA have earned laurels in cricket, soccer, Athletics, volleyball, Basketball, cross country etc. at state and National levels.

The spirit of adventure, born out of a daring personality makes us to reach the edge of any possibility, helps us face new challenges and it tests our resilience against adversity ultimately leading to discovery of ourselves in the process.

Cadets of DDA are exposed to numerous adventurous activities which include Mountaineering, Trekking, Rock, Climbing, White-water Rafting, Swimming and Campfire.

Exposure to the varied terrains and the different working conditions of the Indian Armed forces, and a visit to various establishments help a person to show his true potential and break the barriers of limitations.

The hobby clubs strongly adhere to what Plato reminded us long ago, “Make Colour and Light, Harmony and Rhythm a part of Education, and they will make their way into the secret places of the soul.”

Hobby clubs at DDA ensure all-round personality development under proactive and disciplined leadership.

Cadets pursue their favourite Hobbies on Saturdays. Those with a flair for writing subscribe to Journalism Club while cadets with an artistic bent of mind choose ‘Art and Craft’ Club. Cadets also join the Nature Club to explore the rich and diverse flora and fauna of the campus and that of the Doon Valley through carefully orchestrated walks and visits.

The photography enthusiasts understand the nuances of f-stops, exposure, developing and composure when he develops the hobby of photography. The Dance, Drama and Singing club cater to the ones who show an inclination for performing arts.

The cadets are also given a rudimentary exposure to IT and Cyber Security Science through a Computer club. DDA  is pleased to mention its Quizzing club that has placed many a budding quizzer at an elevated pedestal as our  quizzers have won at State and National levels and glorified DDA.

In DDA, the mission of Training Services is to provide basic knowledge to CADETS about the Armed Forces and Merchant Navy.

Training Services at DDA gives to the youngsters motivation, and complete picture of what Indian Armed Forces & Merchant Navy are all about. It not only helps them to make up their minds as to why and how to join but also gives them immense confidence, leadership qualities, a desire for self-improvement and the drive to excel in every sphere. It incorporates a culture of Jointmanship, while emphasizing on overall personality development. Two and a half year at DDA will instill bonding and feeling of oneness, a sense of self-discipline, honor, integrity, camaraderie and esprit-de corps. It will develop in the cadets a sense of intense belongingness to their alma-mater.

In a nut shell – बच्चों को यह मालूम चल जाता है कि उन्हें Indian Armed Forces अथवा Merchant Navy में कैसे जाना है और वहां उनसे क्या-क्या उम्मीदें की जायेगी और इसकी जानकारी उन्हें DDA में अभी से ही मिल जायेगी।

Nestled between the Shiwaliks and the middle Himalayan Ranges, the Sandeep Sir’s Doon Defence Academy is the pride of the Sylvan Doon Valley.

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

It gives me immense pride and pleasure to write as the Director of the prestigious Doon Defence Academy – Dehradun. I salute Indian Armed Forces and the management team of yesteryears for dedicated efforts in grooming this institution to its premium status of today.

The focal point of any educational institute is the student. The responsibility of “Training’’ which encompasses, educational, moral, cultural and behavioural development solely rests on the staff of the institution. Thus, we who have chosen to be a part of the faculty, have to synergize our efforts towards achieving the goal.

In the contemporary times, when academic excellence is of foremost importance, the development of soft skills and one’s personality has gained great importance.

The youngsters today, are facing multiple challenges. They have to be ahead of their peers so as to enable themselves to find their niche. The task of today’s Teacher is thus daunting.

As an Armed Forces and Merchant Navy preparatory school, we have to maintain the spirit of discipline, determination and dedication among the students as it is the demand of these services.

We thus have no option but to raise the academic standard of the DDA students so that they can meet the academic as well as competitive challenges.

The beauty of an academic institute lies in the efforts that it puts in to bring out the best results.

Also, it is a field where everything is transitory and one can never rest on one’s achievements. I am sanguine that “TEAM DDA” of which the cadets are an integral part, is well equipped to achieve the goals, unmindful of challenges that may come our way. On this path, I invite all our parents and well-wishers to join us.
