A dashing leader of men, he knows them inside out They will follow him to hell, without a single doubt.

The Sudan Block today is an iconic symbol of this Tri-Services Academy. Its Massive Dome is its most eye-catching and remarkable feature and looms over the landscape of the lush Khadakwasla estate like a colossus. The Dome has an ECC Shell lined with Pink Jodhpur Stone. At its peak is an eight inch diameter Blue Glass Dharma Chakra. It looms over a massive roof of Taylor Tiles. The building itself is a massive, compelling presence lined with Jodhpur Stone.

The marble entrance hall is the grandest feature of this remarkable building with its black polished Italian marble walls and pillars with polished Brass embellishments. It is breath taking in its impact. The effect of its architectural grandeur is enhanced manifold by the oil paintings of the martyrs of the NDA that hang there. The inner dome has a central eye in the shape of the Asok
