Chandigarh's Harsh Gupta commands Indian Naval Academy's passing out parade
After undergoing four years of intensive training and academic excellence, Harsh Gupta has brought pride to Chandigarh and the nation as he commanded the prestigious Passing Out Parade of graduating cadets from the Indian Naval Academy.
A resident of Sector 44-B, Chandigarh and an alumnus of the prestigious Sainik School, Kunjpura in Karnal, Harsh was selected for the Indian Naval Academy after clearing the highly competitive NDA/NA examination.
His outstanding leadership was recognised in a historic moment as he was chosen to command the prestigious Passing Out Parade — a rare honour bestowed on only the most exemplary cadets.
In recognition of his all-round excellence, Harsh was also awarded the Chief of Naval Staff Medal, one of the highest accolades for cadets at the academy.
Harsh's father, Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, serves as an Assistant Audit Officer in the Office of the Principal Accountant General (Audit), Punjab, while his mother, Monika Gupta, is a homemaker.
