Citation:

Major Rajender Singh Rajwat was commanding an armoured personnel carrier company of Rajputana Rifles in the Shakargarh Sector. His company was assigned the task of capturing an enemy locality, held in strength by the enemy. Major Rajwat led his men in the assault and cleared the built-up area, in spite of heavy shelling and stiff resistance and after fierce hand-to-hand fighting. When the enemy launched a counter-attack, he encouraged his men to repulse the attack. He was hit by an enemy shell and died. 

In this operation, Major Rajwat displayed commendable courage, determination and leadership of a high order.
