" THE YOUNGEST ARMY OFFICER TO BE DECORATED WITH 
TWO NATIONAL GALLANTRY AWARDS "

It sounds incredible .Isn't it? Of course its true that Hyderabad has got the distinction of having the youngest officer from the Country being awarded two Gallantry awards. He was awarded the "Sourya Chakra" in 1998 and "Sena Medal" in 1999 .Reachout's team has had the honor of visiting his parents staying at Secunderabad and getting an insight into this brave yet shy Newsmaker of Hyderabad.

Major Jason took the NDA entrance exams and joined it in July 1990.He graduated from the Indian Military Academy in 1994 and was given his choice of regiment. He was allocated to the relatively young 11th Battalion of the Maratha Light Infantry Regiment. It did not take him long to prove himself officer material. In his very first encounter with insurgents in the East, he displayed courage and tenacity and was awarded the Shaurya Chakra.
