#StoriesOfGrit Bare Fists to Boxing Glory — The Making of a Champion Mentor. From a remote village in Nagaland, where a young boy first understood discipline by watching his father leave home in uniform, began the journey of Subedar Prakash Gurung of Gorkha Rifles — a boxer, soldier and mentor. His first lessons came from a makeshift punching bag and a dream larger than his circumstances. Selection into the Boys Sports Company opened the road ahead, and every bruise in the ring became a step towards excellence. Winning multiple medals at Services and National Boxing Championships, he emerged among India’s finest prospects and earning an Olympic shortlist in 2008. As a certified Boxing Coach from the Army Sports Institute, he transformed hard-earned skill into mentorship. His role moved beyond the ring; he became a guide who turned individual promise into team strength. In July 2026, that years-long journey of discipline and mentorship found powerful expression when the Southern Command Boxing Team achieved an unparalleled feat at the Inter Command Championship, securing 6 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze Medals, along with the Best Boxer title. For Subedar Gurung, every medal won by his team is a continuation of his own fight — proof that grit becomes legacy when it is passed on, inspiring champions to rise with discipline, courage and purpose. #IndianArmy #Boxing #SportingExcellence ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Indian Army Sports and Adventure PRO Defence Pune

Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, #SouthernCommand, reviewed ‘𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐓𝐈’, an all-arms manoeuvre exercise with live firing conducted by the Rudra Brigade at the Pokhran Field Firing Ranges, validating the Indian Army’s capability to undertake high-intensity, integrated operations in the evolving battlefield environments. ‘𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐓𝐈’ was conducted as a follow-up to ‘𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐊𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐑’, which had earlier validated the #RudraBrigade and new operational concepts in the desert sector. The live firing exercise focused on further enhancing combat integration and operational effectiveness through synchronized employment of mechanized forces, artillery, air defence units, Army Aviation assets including ALH-WSI and Apache helicopters, along with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Counter-UAS capabilities, demonstrating seamless synergy across land, air and digital domains. During the review, the Army Commander interacted with troops on the ground and commended all ranks for their exemplary training standards, professionalism and operational preparedness, while lauding their ability to execute complex missions with speed, precision and cohesion. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐓𝐈’ stands as testimony to the Indian Army’s ongoing transformation, where organizational innovation, tactical evolution and technological integration are advancing together. It reaffirms the Army’s unwavering commitment to remain mission-ready, technologically empowered and #FutureReady to meet emerging security challenges. #IndianArmy #BlackMaceBrigade #DecadeOfTransformation #TechAbsorption ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Konark Corps INDIAN ARMY Ministry of Defence, Government of India रक्षा मंत्री कार्यालय/ RMO India HQ IDS PRO Defence Pune
