In a significant achievement for Uttarakhand's Bageshwar district, Amit Kandpal, the son of Subedar Major Kishore Kandpal of the Indian Army, has been commissioned as a Lieutenant. Amit successfully graduated from the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun, bringing immense pride to his family and the residents of his hometown, Sanyura.
After completing his intensive training at the Indian Military Academy, Lieutenant Amit Kandpal was commissioned into the Sikh Regiment. This milestone was celebrated during the Passing Out Parade (POP) on Saturday, marking the end of his dedicated and disciplined training period and the beginning of his career as an officer in the Indian Army.

Amit grew up in an environment rich in military discipline and patriotic values, which significantly influenced his aspirations and career path.
His educational background includes early schooling at an Army School, which further entrenched his connection to military life. Amit later graduated from Delhi University and successfully passed the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination. Following approximately 18 months of rigorous training, he realized his dream of becoming an Army officer.
The news of Amit Kandpal's commissioning was celebrated with great enthusiasm in Sanyura and the surrounding areas. Residents shared sweets and prepared to welcome the new officer.

Several local figures, including Chandrashekhar, Mahesh Kandpal, Girish, Ganesh, Kamal Kandpal, and Dr. Kevalanand Kandpal, extended their congratulations to Amit's family. They emphasized that Lieutenant Amit Kandpal's achievements would serve as an inspiration for young people in the region who aspire to join the armed forces.
The journey of Lieutenant Amit Kandpal—from a family with a strong military background to earning his commission at the IMA—serves as a motivating example for those preparing for NDA, CDS, and other defense-related examinations. His story is a testament to the impact of discipline, commitment, and family support in forging a successful military career.
