Who is the Chief of the Naval Staff who addressed the cadets at Sainik School Bijapur and called it his old school?
- A.Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi
- B.Admiral Krishna Swaminathan
- C.Air Chief Marshal Ashutosh Dixit
- D.General Dhiraj Seth
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Admiral Krishna Swaminathan. The Chief of the Naval Staff told the cadets to keep pushing their limits, never give up and stay hungry for excellence. He then recalled his formative years at Sainik School Bijapur and acknowledged the contribution the institution had made to shaping his personality and achievements, which made the host school his own alma mater. Option A is wrong because that officer was not named as the Navy chief on this occasion. Option C is wrong because Air Chief Marshal Ashutosh Dixit heads the Indian Air Force, not the Navy. Option D is wrong because General Dhiraj Seth is the Chief of the Army Staff. Candidates should also keep the civilian side of the ceremony in mind: the chief guest was Raksha Rajya Mantri Sanjay Seth, the Minister of State for Defence, who presented the medals and trophies.
