Aman Arora congratulates cadets
Chandigarh: Shattering the glass ceiling in a male-dominated bastion, 17 lady cadets of Mai Bhago Armed Forces Preparatory Institute (AFPI), Mohali have made national history by cracking the NDA written examination- the highest-ever tally of lady cadets from any government institute in the country, including Sainik Schools and Rashtriya Military Schools.
These 17 Lady Cadets- Tanvi, Urvi, Simranpreet Kaur, Komalpreet Kaur, Pahuljeet Kaur, Jasmeet Kaur, Muskanpreet Kaur, Garima, Anisha, Pranya Kargwal, Jashandeep Kaur, Samridhi, Arshkiran Kaur, Sehajpreet Kaur, Japneet Kaur, Khushi and Jasleen Kaur- have triumphed against monumental odds, cracking the exam in a system where only 6% of NDA seats are earmarked for women against 94% for men.
Congratulating the cadets, their families and the faculty, Mr. Aman Arora said, “I am immensely proud of the 17 lady cadets of Mai Bhago AFPI. This is not just the victory of these young women, but a historic moment for Punjab. To break through a system where 94% of seats are for boys requires extraordinary grit and brilliance, and our daughters have displayed it in abundance.”
“This result is a resounding endorsement of our government’s vision to empower our daughters with world-class training. Mai Bhago AFPI stands as a beacon of excellence today and I am confident these cadets will make the nation proud in the SSB and beyond,” he added.
