Army Day- Rank-wise Manpower Strength of Indian Army

Indian Army Day is just around the corner, celebrated on January 15th every year! It's a day to honor and celebrate the brave soldiers of the Indian Army, who sacrifice so much to protect the nation. It marks the historic moment on January 15th, 1949, when Lieutenant General Kodandera M. Cariappa took over as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, succeeding the last British Commander-in-Chief. This signifies the transfer of power and the Army's transition to an independent entity.

It is a matter of pride for everyone to see the soldiers posted on the borders of the country and the military officers who guide and encourage them. This is the reason that every youth of the country at least once in his life dreams of joining the army.. But this dream comes true only for a few students. If you also want to join the army, then obviously, you will always want to be updated about the jobs coming out in the Indian Army. No matter the number of posts, a question definitely comes to mind: how many officers and jawans are there in which post in the country.

We are going to give you the answer to this question. Before that it is important to know that if you have taken National Cadet Corps i.e. NCC, then the path of joining the army can be somewhat easier for you. In fact, military training is provided to NCC cadets to encourage them to join the defence forces. The government has also established schools like Sainik School, Military School, RIMC, which provide training with the aim of encouraging and preparing students to join the Defence Forces.

Army Training School

The NCC imparted military training to encourage them to join the defence forces. The Government is also running schools like Sainik School, Military School, RIMC, etc. which impart training with the aim of encouraging and preparing the students to join the defence forces. Government is organising career fairs and exhibitions and publicity campaigns to create awareness among the youth on the advantages of taking up a challenging and satisfying career in the Armed Forces.
