Aide-de-Camp (ADC) is an honorary position in the Indian Armed Forces. ADCS are appointed from the three wings — the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force.
Major Rishabh Singh Sambyal, a retired Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to President Droupadi Murmu, has explained the role and rigorous training required to become an ADC. The President of India is accompanied by five ADCs, three from the Army, one from the Navy, and one from the Air Force. Sambyal revealed that the selection process for ADCs is intense, involving a 90-day cut-off world with sleepless nights and rigorous training.
He also discussed the importance of vigilance in ensuring the safety of the President, including not allowing anyone to touch the President's feet or shake their hands, and keeping a 1 km radius around the President sanitized to prevent any potential threats.
