The system enables Officer Cadets to learn the duties connected with the various appointments with the Platoon on an administrative plane and to develop their character and leadership traits in the process of discharging their duties. For the efficient running of this system, Officers and Instructors will provide the guidance to appointment holders in the correct manner of discharging the appointment holder’s duties. They will not, however, spoon feed them.
