Para Reunion 2009


Para Reunion 2009 was held from 27 -30 Oct 2009 at Agra. It was attended by a larger number of serving and retired paratroopers, officers and PBOR.

Bonhomie associated with such get-together and celebrations are marvelous. You get to meet old associates and colleagues, present incumbents and see first-hand developments in the System. We were lucky to be part of this Reunion. Witnessed strides made by the fmn and units in its ‘delivery’. It was heartening to note that ‘the paratroopers continue to remain elite’ of the Armed Forces. Congratulations!

Some of the important events in sequence, apart from the ‘dinners’ were:

-Launch of Shatrujeet Blog http://www.shatrujeet.blogspot.com/ by Lt General (Retired) SN Sharma, PVSM, AVSM, Senior Most Active Veteran Paratrooper, ex Para Fd Coy.

-Wreath Laying Ceremony by Retired & Serving to pay Homage to the Martyrs at the Shatrujeet War Memorial.

-Reunion Barakhana for the Shatrujeet Units and Families.

-Release of Special Para Reunion 2009 cover by the COAS.

-Command Jump.

-Unveiling of Bust of Col (Dr) AG Rangaraj, 60 Para Fd Coy, the first Indian Paratrooper of 50 Para Bde.

The occasion was nostalgic

A Great Event! Looking for the Next Get-together!!
