Established in 1954 and located in the vicinity of Khadakwasla Dam, near Pune, it is the world's first tri-service academy. The alumni of National Defence Academy have led and participated in every major conflict in which the Indian Armed Forces have been called into action since the academy was founded. Alumni include three Param Vir Chakra recipients and eleven Ashoka Chakra recipients. The NDA has produced 30 service chiefs of staff, including the incumbent chiefs of staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force. (Full list...)
