Nashik (Maharashtra) [India], Oct 10 (ANI): President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday presented the prestigious Colours to the Army Aviation Corps in Nashik and lauded them for their contribution to the nation.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that the Army Aviation Corps has earned 273 honours and awards for conspicuous gallantry and distinguished service. This speaks volumes about the exceptional valour and high spirit of the Corps personnel and is a model for all soldiers and officers of our armed forces.
"They have been excellent ambassadors of our country while operating overseas in countries like Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo while serving at United Nations Peace Keeping Missions," he added.
"Honoured to present Colours to Army Aviation Corps at Nashik, Maharashtra. I congratulate all veterans and serving soldiers of the Corps for their valour and devotion to duty. The Indian Army and the nation is proud of you," the President tweeted.
