These are the moments when senior Indian Army officer Lieutenant General DP Singh achieved a remarkable milestone in his prestigious military career. This achievement was made even more special by the presence of both his daughters who are themselves part of the army. Both daughters put the stars of promotion on his uniform. Lieutenant General DP Singh was appointed as the Commandant of the Military Intelligence Training School and Depot (MINTSD) in Pune.
The pipping ceremony is traditionally a proud family event where the insignia of a soldier’s rank is put on during promotion. For Lt Gen Singh, the occasion was particularly poignant as his daughters participated in this milestone experience in his career. The presence of his daughters underlined the strength, commitment to the nation and unity of a family whose members are bound by a life dedicated to the country.
This inspiring moment represents the progress of women who stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts and are an epitome of discipline, duty and patriotism. Lt Gen Singh’s family exemplifies generations of dedication to the values of the Armed Forces.
