Addressing the cadets in the opening ceremony, 3 Corps HQ Chief of Staff Maj Gen RS Guraya exhorted them to “find passion in sports, so as to bring more laurels to the country.”
He said that education today has undergone rapid changes and it can no longer be confined to just within the four walls of a classroom.
