From the Desk of the Director

Dear Students and Parents,

It gives me immense pride and joy to welcome you to DNA Defence Academy, where our mission is to shape the leaders of tomorrow. As the Director, I, Mrs. Asha Rani Painuli, bring with me over four decades of experience in the field of education, including my tenure as the Additional Director of SCERT Uttarakhand Education.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to receive national recognition:

• In 1980, I was honored by the Vice President of India, Sh. M. Hidayatullah, for my contributions to education.
• In 1981, I was rewarded by the President of India, Dr. Sanjeev Reddy, for outstanding performance in Bharat Scouts & Guides (BSG).
• From 2005 to 2010, I served as the Block Education Officer (B.E.O.) in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
• Until 2024, I dedicated my efforts as the Additional Director of SCERT Uttarakhand, contributing to the elevation of educational standards across the state.

At DNA Defence Academy, located in Dehradun, our focus is on empowering students to achieve excellence in competitive exams like NDA, CDSE, RIMC, RMS, MNS, and other prestigious defense services. We emphasize not only academic success but also character building, leadership, and patriotism to prepare our students for the challenges of tomorrow.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Asha Rani Painuli
