Agniveers Training at Gurkha Rifles Regimental Centre

The sixth batch of over 600 Agniveers, currently selected for the Territorial Army and Assam Rifles, is immersed in a stringent training regimen at the esteemed 11 Gorkha Rifles Regimental Centre in Lucknow. This comprehensive program is tailored to metamorphose young civilians into adept soldiers who are not only physically robust but also mentally resilient, instilling in them the crucial ethos of ‘Service Before Self’.

As part of their intensive training, the Agniveers are engaging in various demanding activities, including obstacle courses, bayonet drills, and firing exercises, all designed to sharpen their skills to meet the rigorous standards set by the Indian Armed Forces. Each session is meticulously crafted to ensure that the recruits are well-prepared for the complexities of modern military operations.

The training emphasizes essential values such as leadership and teamwork, equipping the young recruits with the operational readiness necessary for contemporary military challenges. With each drill and exercise, these aspiring soldiers demonstrate their unwavering determination and commitment to serving the nation with honor and professionalism.

This ongoing training initiative reflects the Indian Army’s dedication to cultivating a new generation of disciplined and motivated soldiers. By preparing these Agniveers effectively, the program aims to bolster the strength, integrity, and overall readiness of the Armed Forces, ensuring that they remain capable of facing both current and future challenges.
