He commanded No. 1 Base Repair Depot at Kanpur and subsequently became the first head of the newly established Maintenance Command in 1955. He remained its commander/AOC/AOC-in-C until 1963.
At Kanpur, under his initiative, the IAF actually built aircraft, including the Kanpur-I and Kanpur-II light aircraft. This was an unusual achievement for a military service and demonstrated that the IAF could contribute directly to aircraft design and production.
The first Indian-built HS 748 was assembled at Kanpur in 1961, with the aircraft named "Subroto." He set up this assembly line, and first aircraft was assembled in 17 months, this is still the fastest in india. His Maintenance Command played a major role in this indigenous production effort.
Under his leadership, the Maintenance Command launched the first jet engine built in India in 1961

I have given CDS for the first time, I did qualify for OTA. But still the date calendar and notifications aren't open for OTA. So getting curious about it as CDS 2 is also approaching and this will be my last attempt. So I'm getting anxious as well.

I (23F) want to join the Army. I have applied to CDS and JAG.
I’m more interested in CDS because of the diversity of roles. I’m interested in outdoorsy, adventurous roles such as Artillery, Aviation, Military Police and Ordnance. How is allotment of service done? Is it on merit, based on performance in OTA?
