#Lt. Gen A K Singh #IndianArmy #BrainsTrustIndia #BritishHighCommissionNewDelhi #ThePeninsulaStudios #DirectedBySubrotoChattopadhyay
Serial No. 124 Season 6 Episode No. 27
Lt. General A K Singh (r) GOC in C Southern Command and former Lt. Governor Andaman and Nicobar Islands speaks about his journey and all the experiences that made him the officer he is.
A small snippet from his story -
"I came from or I come from a middle-class family. Father was a highly educated businessman. My mother is not educated, but the homemaker, three sisters. And if I was to look back, I would say I have a very loving family. A family that hung together. A family that gave me samskaras with a great focus on education. I Joined NDA in 1969 as a young lad of about 16 years.
A word about NDA. It's a tri service institution. Which gets scheduled for the Army, Navy, Air Force from all walks of life in India, from all regions, from all religions. And then we joined. We are at different levels of evolution. But in three years it brings us to a common denominator and fills us with great passion to serve the enemy and in terms of the nation.
I have a very strong conviction that once you join the Indian Army, it's your abilities and your merit that counts. So, the first 15, 16 years of your service, if I was to say of service that you do with troops and in the regiment with one or two outside assignments thrown in. Now, this is where your grounding comes in. You can become a capable leader. You have to first establish your credentials at the ground level."

Gen AK is an icon for upcoming youngsters n for sure he is Matchless

[@jayantochoudhury5631]

An honest and articulate narration of a professional soldier at different levels of leadership. Clarity of views expressed on an array of defence issues, leavened with humour . Equally interesting was the experience sharing as LG of ANI.

Very engaging conversation Gen AK - it is sure to inspire those aspiring to don the uniform. As for women in combat arms - they are ready and here to stay, it's the Army that needs a change of mindset. The anecdotes were epic...had me grinning :)

Gen AK Singh the White Tiger of Sainik School Rewa Madhya Pradesh. "A Proud Sainwinian"

[@abhishakedatta1]

A well articulated professional interview. All the facets of life and profession were very well covered. Was made interesting for all levels, specially the youngsters who would definitely get motivated by the experiences brought out by the General.

[@MayankSingh-il4sl]

Good Choice @brainstrust

[@r.b.singhyadav.editor]

We know your brilliant and visionary father Chaudhry Jai Narayan Singh Meera di personally

[@sageerhussain2401]

He was not a Governor , he was a Lieutenant Governor so pls correct your words

[@soniasdecaffeinatedheart8614]

You are an institution itself with knowledge and experience to share. Very well articulated narration on every issue ..warfare, combat, impersonalization of war , defence budget , role models, philosophy of motivation and conviction, humility and the arrogance that comes with professional perfection.....etal

Gen is not a yes men as we see nowadays.
