From Founder’s Desk
“Reflecting on how Yoddhaa was born, my mind takes me back to those horrifying days when COVID-19 had crumbled the world. As all schools were shut down by the government and the future was unpredictable, we felt the need to establish an institution that would educate and facilitate young minds to bring back the former glory of our nation. As a disrupted economy and derailed livelihoods engulfed the country, the responsibility of rebuilding India fell upon the shoulders of the younger generations. Thus, Yoddhaa Defence Institute was born to help our future leaders to reignite the spirit of India and prove its strength and might to all!
To bring Yoddhaa into effect, we interacted with students and parents of various social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. The results of the survey drew critical attention to the need for establishing a genuine defence institute (especially in Maharashtra) to help aspirants clear their NDA examinations and SSB interviews. Thus Yoddhaa arose, along with its team of esteemed mentors, highly qualified faculty, exceptional facilities, latest academic resources, and an organised sports-oriented curriculum. As we realised the scarcity of genuine defence institutes, the subsequently lower admission rates, and their resultant placements in the soldiers’ posts, we made it our aim and priority to guide our Yoddhaas to achieve success as defence officers.
With all of these scenarios in mind, we wanted to give back to our beloved India the might that it deserved, by committing to guide the youth and make use of their best abilities. To do so, we not only prepare our students for NDA and SSB, but also cultivate the young minds for IIT-JEE and NEET, thus propelling thriving engineers and doctors who can equally serve our nation. Apart from academic excellence, our institute wholeheartedly focuses on the all-round development of our students – mental, physical, and creative – thus crafting future warriors abounding in zeal, resilience, and discipline.
Our holistic approach to education, paired with a sound curriculum, linguistic development, physical training, and psychological betterment unleashes the true potential of our students.
I thereby urge all the young minds of India to join us and take advantage of the brightest of the minds in the country, and become the responsible and proud citizens that we need to keep India’s flame alive!”
