Shubham Narwal
, the son of a woman
farm labourer
, is set to become the first
Navy officer
from his village in Rajasthan, reports Surendra Singh. The journey to NDA was not easy for Shubham, who lost his father to cancer in 2015. His mother worked as a MGNREGA farm labourer.
Highlighting the case of Shubham Narwal, Major General Yash Mor (Retd) said the boy set an example for other poor children who want to clear NDA.
“I hail from a village in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan. Jhunjhunu is considered the land of soldiers as many youths from this city have joined armed forces. But I will become the first Navy officer from my village,” Shubham told Major General Mor in an interview posted on social media.
Shubham, who hasn’t seen a sea in his lifetime, will be headed to the sea and will have to sail against the tide as a Navy officer.
