The son was commissioned into the Indian Army in the same manner in which his mother was accepted into the forces 27 years back. Even more, from the very academy where she graduated. As per a report by the Tribune, it was a nostalgic moment that the army decided to capture and share with the world.

Described as a "rare euphoric moment for a Lady Officer", the ceremony that was held on 30 July turned out to be a joyous day even for the netizens who were quick to pour in the congratulatory reactions and likes.

Honouring The Cadets

The ceremony was attended by a prestigious crowd and was conducted to ensure the newly enrolled cadets received due appreciation over their graduation. It was held at the Officers Training Academy in Chennai in the presence of Maj Gen Abdulla Shamaal, Chief of Defence Forces of the Maldives, who was also in charge of reviewing the commissioning of the cadets.

Amidst all of it, this pure moment of pride managed to stand out. The photos were captured post the ceremony and followed up with a trip down the lane with photos of Major Smita Chaturvedi during her training days.
