Alumni spotlight

My journey to career in defence started from my childhood with motivation from father's defence background and developmental inputs in Kendriya Vidyalaya. Subsequently I was looking for an institution that will help me to nurture my NDA dream.

AFPI, Kolhapur provided comprehensive residential platform with excellent teaching faculty, exceptionally good school infrastructure, highly dedicated military staff and very motivating top management. This provided an excellent platform for me to search for my best potential. The rest was history. I owe lot to AFPI in my success in NDA exam and I strongly recommend AFPI, Kolhapur to all those who want to pursue NDA dream.
