Addressing the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh complimented the newly commissioned officers and said, "I congratulate all the trainers who participated in this parade. This parade shows the efforts you have put in. I also congratulate all the winners of the awards. Today is one of the greatest days of your life. You are setting out on a new path from today. You are becoming an officer from a cadet. There is so much difference between a cadet's life and an officer's life."
