CREST

The red, navy blue and sky blue colors of the Army, Navy and the Air Force respectively indicate the essence of our teaching, that in cohesiveness lies the ultimate strength of our defence services.

The crossed sword and the torch signify that combat prowess needs to be guided by knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment to achieve mission orientation.

The motto of the College “नैपुण्यात् विजयो ध्रुवम्” (Victory Through Excellence) is from the Gita. These words exalted Arjuna to objectively strive for victory through excellence and to shun the subjective approach of seeking the fruits of victory.
