Humility is the
hallmark of greatness for arrogance and hatred are the wares peddled
in the thoroughfares. A rare virtue is this humility amply expressed
in the very core of your personality and deeds. For life is made up,
not of great sacrifices or duties ,but a chain of accomplishments, of
targets achieved of little things in which smiles kindness and small
obligations are sprinkled generously –these , then
habitually are what win and preserve the heart and secure
comfort- that is what you are.
As always said
“The three really great things are “The Mountain’ The Ocean’
and an “Earnest –Man’ at his work. The potentialities of each
are beyond human calculations and therefore what I endeavour to
encapsulate here will inevitably sound inadequate. We are privileged
and greatly honoured to have in our midst such a versatile personality
as Brig D.C. Katoch, an alumnus
of Birla Public School Pilani,1966 batch Katyayan House.
His chequered
career spanning
36 years has
seen him command troops in active operations in Counter Insurgency,
Line of Control, High Altitude and other Aggressive Theaters.

D. C. Katoch is a highly
decorated officer. He has been awarded 18 medals including the
prestigious Vishist Seva Medal (VSM) in
recognition for his distinguished
services in Insurgency Operations
in
Jammu and Kashmir
Op Rakshak and Op Vijay to topit.
An effective communicator, an out of the box thinker with; the
ability to come up with; new ideas. His outstanding contribution as a
Golpher, Rider, Polo Player, Social Service in Education and Health
care has been tremendous. The
Brigadier’s wife Asha
Katoch is leading Anesthesiologist
who is working in

as Director Web Designing and Information Technology.
Their Daughter Meghna is an MBA working in
