Of the total 459 cadets who took part in the parade, 382 were Indian and 77 were foreign cadets from nine ally nations.
The Indian Military Academy (IMA) held its 136th passing out parade at Dehradun in Uttarakhand today.
Of the total 459 cadets who took part in the parade, 382 were Indian and 77 were foreign cadets from nine ally nations - Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Fiji, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Lesotho, and Tajikistan.
The IMA was established in 1932 as the officer training academy of the Indian Army, when the British after World War I were eventually convinced by the Indian leaders of the need to establish an officer training college.
The academy is located at the foothills of the Himalayas, about 8 km west of Dehradun, spanning 1,400 acres.
