Vijay carried the prestigious Chief of Staff banner for the champion, India squadron, at the passing out parade of the 119th course at the National Defence Academy (NDA) in Khadakwasla on Monday. He also bagged the silver medal in academics by standing second in the BSc course.
Vijay, who grew up in Nandyal village of Kagal taluka of Kolhapur district, was fortunate to pursue his studies in the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE)-affiliated Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Kagal. It was at a lecture given at his school by Major Saurabh Shetty, an infantry officer, that inspired Vijay to pursue a career in the armed forces.
After the passing out parade at the NDA on Monday, Vijay said, “My meeting with Major Shetty was the turning point in my life. His talk inspired me to pursue a career in the armed forces.”
Vijay, the athletics and football captain of his squadron, dreams of becoming a fighter pilot because he likes the adventure attached to the job. “The speeds at which our fighter jets fly, the pilot has a split second to make or break a decision. I find this enormously exciting,” Vijay said.
Vijay, who will be joining the Air Force Academy in January 2011, is looking forward to flying the Kiran MK-1 trainer aircraft. “Yes, I am really excited about flying the Kirans and hopefully the Hawks in Dindigul,” he said.
Vijay’s father, Pandurang, who has been recently promoted to the post of headmaster at the zilla parishad school at Hasur Budruk village in Kolhapur district said, “My wife Bharati and I are extremely proud that our son has excelled in both academics and sport at the NDA.
