Indian Army Sena Medal (Retd)
Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to Drona Defence Academy!
It was always my dream to return to my soil, a year ago, I embarked on a journey to reconnect with my roots in the rural area and give back to the land that shaped me. My mission has been clear—to guide, support, and mentor young aspirants in pursuing a career in the Indian Armed Forces, particularly through the National Defence Academy (NDA), Naval Academy (NA), and the SSB selection process.
Today, as I look back on this journey, I feel immense pride and satisfaction in leading an institution that is truly one of its kind in Latur and its surrounding areas. At Drona Defence Academy, we don’t just train students; we build character and instill qualities that shape leaders of tomorrow. Our commitment is simple—we deliver what we promise, and we do so with excellence.
Our top-tier facilities, experienced faculty, and well-structured curriculum are designed to prepare students to excel academically, physically, and mentally. What truly sets us apart is our dedicated team of retired Armed Forces officers, Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs), and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs)—seasoned professionals who serve not just as instructors, but as mentors who have lived the life our students aspire to.
We understand that a career in the military demand’s resilience, discipline, and leadership. That’s why our training goes beyond academics—it includes rigorous physical training, leadership programs, and real-world exercises to ensure that every student is fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
At Drona Defence Academy, we don’t just shape future officers; we nurture responsible, disciplined, and patriotic citizens of India.
Join us in this journey of transformation. Together, let’s build a stronger, brighter future for our nation.
Jai Hind!
