From Gunner To Lieutenant: Himachal's Son Rises Through Army Ranks With Grit And Glory
Last Updated: In December 2009, Punit Mankotia joined the Indian Army as a gunner. Right from the outset, he stood out for his discipline and diligence The olive green uniform that once sparked a childhood dream has now become a symbol of hard-earned achievement for Army Lieutenant Punit Mankotia. Hailing from the mountainous terrains of Himachal's Kangra district, this young man's extraordinary journey from a gunner to a commissioned officer in the Indian Army is an inspiring tale of determination, discipline, and unshakable resolve. For Punit, the dream of donning the Indian Army uniform was seeded early. Born into a family steeped in military tradition, patriotism came naturally. His father, a retired Naib Subedar from the Signal Corps, instilled in him the core values of discipline, duty, and honour. These were not just lessons, but a way of life in the Mankotia household. With two elder brothers also in uniform, Punit's path seemed almost destined, but never easy. In December 2009, Punit joined the Indian Army as a gunner. Right from the outset, he stood out for his discipline and diligence. During his time at the School of Artillery in Deolali, he earned top honours in both Basic and Advanced courses – a testament to his sharp mind and technical acumen. His career progressed steadily, with postings in the 625 SATA Battery and later as Regimental Havildar Major (RHM), where he shouldered leadership responsibilities with competence and care. Eventually, he became a technical instructor – passing on his expertise to the next generation of soldiers. His superiors consistently noted his commitment and leadership, but Punit had his eyes set on a bigger dream – becoming an officer. In 2023, Punit's service extended beyond national borders when he was deployed as part of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) on the tense Syria-Israel border. Representing India on this international platform, he earned commendation from the Force Commander – a rare and prestigious recognition that added another feather to his cap. Despite his credentials and accolades, Punit's path to becoming an officer wasn't smooth. He appeared twice for the Army's Special Commissioned Officers (SCO) entry but was unable to clear. While many might have given up, Punit refused to surrender to disappointment. On his third attempt, success finally came knocking. He cleared the selection process and earned the rank of Lieutenant, a moment that marked not just personal victory, but the fulfillment of a lifelong promise to his family and himself. Now a commissioned officer, Lieutenant Punit Mankotia's story is one of perseverance and pride. His rise from the ranks underscores a vital message – that one's origins do not limit one's destiny. He carries forward not only the legacy of his own family but also that of countless Indian soldiers who rise through merit, resolve, and sheer willpower. First Published: June 20, 2025, 20:00 IST

In an outreach initiative aimed at motivating youth in one of Uttar Pradesh's remotest districts, the Indian Army's 'Caravan Talkies' campaign arrived in Siddharthnagar, bringing its recruitment message directly to the doorsteps of aspiring candidates. The audio-visual campaign, launched as part of the 'Join Indian Army' initiative, began its five-day journey with enthusiastic responses from local residents. On the first day, the caravan made stops at Seth Ram Kumar Khetan Balika Inter College, Village Kamhariya, and DC Memorial Junior High School, Village Khari Khas. Students, teachers, and community members gathered in large numbers to witness the outreach initiative. The specially designed vehicle is equipped with a large LED display screen, public announcement system, and visually appealing posters and banners highlighting the strength, discipline, and career opportunities within the Indian Armed Forces. 'This campaign brings the Indian Army right to our doorstep. It's inspiring and gives us a real sense of what a career in the army could look like,' said a Class 12 student at Khetan Balika Inter College. Army representatives not only provided detailed insights into the recruitment process but also interacted personally with many of the students and young attendees to clear their doubts, address their concerns, and explain eligibility, training, and career progression in the army. The team also organised interactive games and quizzes to strengthen the connection with potential aspirants.
