Meaningful utilisation of funds available
under the Military Engineering Service
(MES) budget heads can make a significant
difference to the quality of life of all ranks.

military career spanned over four decades and five wars, including World War II. He was the
first of only two Field Marshals in the Indian Army. Sam Manekshaw’s contributions to the Indian
Army are legendary. He was a soldier’s soldier and a General’s General. He was outspoken and
stood by his convictions. He was immensely popular within the Services and among civilians of
all ages. Boyish charm, wit and humour were other notable qualities of independent India’s best
known soldier. A grateful nation honoured him with the Padma Vibhushan in 1972.
