THE CHRONICLE reflections “LIFE IS A BOOK. EVERY DAY IS A NEW PAGE. EVERY MONTH IS A NEW CHAPTER. EVERY YEAR IS A NEW SERIES.”

ISSUE I VOL 95 JANUARY 2017

EDITORIAL Life is on the roll again as the beginning of yet another Term in the College has sprung the Campus and the Fields back into life after a bitter chill. Meanwhile, 28 'Young Buds' have joined the RIMC Fraternity as the 190th Course to become 'Leaders of tomorrow'. The cadets, who have returned after a well deserved break, are leaving no stone unturned for their Sections as the 'Boxing fever' is slowly catching up. The Term so far has been full of emotions as the College recently bid 'adieu' to our revered Vice Principal, Mr DN Thapliyal, who retired after a long tenure of a distinguished service of more than 32 years. We all witnessed the Inter Section Variety Entertainment Competition, the Tennis and the Squash Opens, in BIENVENUE which each Cadet or Section gave the other a run for money. Now, as everyone is gearing up for the upcoming Inter Section DATELINE Cricket Competition, Inter Section Riding Competition, and Inter Section Shooting Competition, each Cadet is sure to guide Jan 14 Arrival of the new cadets himself to attain greater heights. The compilation of the Annual, Jan 18 Wreath Laying 'Regalia' and the Reunion Special Chronicle has begun, which th Tabbing in Ceremony means the much awaited Reunion on the 13 of March is inching closer with each passing day. As many distinguished Commandant's Special Assembly Alumni of the College visited us, they recounted and Jan 25 Cadets XI vs Staff Cricket Match remembered their College days. It was heartening to see the Class I vs Class IA Cricket Match RIMCOLLIANs and the RIMCOs, both laughing at the same old joke, and recollecting similar memories. Jan 26 Republic Day RIMC has always helped every Cadet reveal his hidden talent, Shramdaan showcase it and be the best at it, just as it did for me. Little did I Jan 28 RIMC Squash Opens know that I would be entrusted with the job of the Chief Editor just as soon as I join the Club! This is what RIMC is special for Jan 30 Educational Visits and this is what makes RIMC the only one of its kind… RIMC Lawn Tennis Opens VIVA LA RIMC Jan 31 Farewell to Mr DN Thapliyal Inter Section Variety Entertainment Competition CADET ADITYA SINGH RANA Feb 06 Inter Section English Debate Competition CLASS IA Inter Section Cricket Competition commences RASHTRIYA INDIAN MILITARY COLLEGE 02 THE CHRONICLE 03 THE CHRONICLE RASHTRIYA INDIAN MILITARY COLLEGE
