During the Republic Day Camp, Ulfat's outstanding performance earned her the prestigious title of Best Commander along with the DG Commendation Medal Certificate, highlighting her exemplary leadership qualities and dedication to service.
 
Reflecting on Ulfat's achievement, Lieutenant Commander Ankur Kumar, Commanding Officer of 1J&K Naval Unit NCC, remarked that her dedication and perseverance set her apart as a role model for cadets across the Nation.
 
Her selection as Platoon Commander is a testament to her hard work and commitment, Sub Lieutenant Dr. Neelima, Ulfat's ANO at GCW Gandhinagar, emphasized that Ulfat's journey from humble beginnings to national recognition is a testament to her strength and resilience.
 
Maj Gen R.K. Sachdeva, ADG JK&L Directorate, expressed that Ulfat Khan's remarkable achievement serves as a testament to her exceptional leadership and dedication to the NCC.
 
Her selection as Parade Commander is a proud moment for the entire Directorate, and she is a shining example for cadets nationwide.
 
Ulfat Khan's journey exemplifies the spirit of Nari Shakti and serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring cadets across the nation. Her historic accomplishment at the Republic Day Camp 2024 reaffirms the power of dedication, perseverance, and the limitless potential of women in the defence forces, the spokesman said.
