Taking a pleasant break
from being in the news as the state with the lowest sex ratio in the country,
Haryana is now being lauded for being the state of successful women in recent
times. After the Phogat sisters, whose inspiring story of becoming international
wrestlers recently hit the silver screen with Dangal,
three more sisters from Haryana have made the state proud by joining the Indian
Army.
According to a report in Rajasthan
Patrika, nobody in
the family of Pratap Singh Deshwal has been a part of the Army till now. The
three daughters of the house, however, dreamt of becoming army officers and
their family supported them wholeheartedly.
Preeti and Deepti
completed their schooling from Jyoti Prakash School, while Mamta went to
Himalayan School. In 2012, the trio was selected in the Armed Forces Medical
College but went to different campuses. Preeti was trained in Kolkata, Deepti
in Mumbai, and Mamta went to Pune.
The three graduated this year and have been commissioned to
different military hospitals across the country. Mamta will be stationed at
Military hospital, Ranikhet, and Deepti will be stationed in Agra. Preeti will
work for Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, Ooty.
The achievements of the three young lieutenants prove that if
girls are given the right opportunities and support, they are no less than
boys. The credit goes to the girls’ determination and their family’s support.
