As part of its efforts to enhance Afghan National Army (ANA) capability, India has been training a large number of cadets from that country. Now, 52 cadets, who form the second-largest batch of Afghan soldiers to have completed training, will pass out of the Indian Military Academy (IMA) on Saturday.
Now on, India intends training nearly 1,000 ANA soldiers in various defence establishments every year. The ANA personnel are undergoing specialised courses at the Artillery School, Devlali; the Mechanised Infantry Regimental Centre, Ahmednagar, and the Infantry School, Mhow, apart from in the IMA and the NDA.
