PUNE: The National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, has honoured one of its earliest passouts, Rear Admiral Santosh Kumar Gupta (Retd), a 1971 Indo-Pak war veteran, by naming an ante room attached to the cadet mess after him.
The new facility is meant for hosting VVIPs and guests visiting the tri-services defence training academy. Gupta, who had joined the NDA in 1953, told TOI, “It was a pleasant surprise for me when I got to know from the NDA about the naming of this facility after me. It is an emotional and proud moment for me today.”
