Army chief General Manoj Pande has presented the prestigious 'President's Standards' to four Armoured regiments of the Indian Army at an event in Suratgarh military station in Rajasthan's Sriganganagar district.
The President's Standard or 'Nishan' was presented to 49 Armoured Regiment, 51 Armoured Regiment, 53 Armoured Regiment and 54 Armoured Regiment during the Standards Presentation Parade
The President's Standard is the highest honour bestowed by the Supreme Commander to a military unit in recognition of the service rendered to the nation.
The President's Standard is the same honour as the President's Colours, awarded to a relatively smaller military formation or unit.
The Armoured Corps is one of the premier combat arms of the Indian Army.
