Career in ARMY an excellent option in one’s life

Career in ARMY an excellent option in one’s life. 

Excellent pay package, perks and privileges is not the only attraction. 
In a remote, forgotten corner of India in Kohima, Nagaland lies a war memorial for all those who laid down their lives fight Japanese in Burma during the Second World War. On a monument at the foot of cemetery is an inscription which reads”When you go home tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today". 


That in many ways represents the Indian Army. Things have changed pay packages and privileges have improved; but still there are men who keep vigil so that the rest of the country can sleep safe at night. 


Fighting for your country is the highest honour one can get.
