The Senior General and party inspected the cadet hostels, mess hall and kitchen. The commandant and officials conducted the Senior General and party around there. During the inspection, the Senior General instructed officials to systematically supervise the turning out of qualified and talented cadets as the Defence Services Academy is a training ground for producing future leaders. It is necessary to systematically nurture them to have good practices on daily lifestyle for an officer.
Necessary military equipment must be issued to each cadet in set periods and those cadets must undergo training to systematically reside at the hostels and use the equipment. Kitchen officials need to give daily foods under systematic calculation to the cadets, and it is necessary to keep the kitchens neat and tidy and attended to their needs.
