In 1940 the Second World War was rapidly. Even within Raghoba, there was a desire to live a passionate life, so he decided to go to the Indian Army. His desire was painted and he came to Bombay Engineers on July 10, 1940. There, their enthusiasm and efficiency created better opportunities for them. This is the best recruit of its batch. On this he was promoted to a hero and he was given the commandant's stick. After the training, Raghoba came in 28 field company of 26 Infantry Division. The company was fighting with the Japanese in Burma While returning from Burma, Raghosha Rane was stopped with two detachments and he was assigned the task to destroy the enemy's ammunition in Boothidang and destroy their vehicles. Raghoba and his companions managed to do this work. It was planned that Navy ships will carry them ahead of this time. Unfortunately, this plan was not successful and those people had to cross the river themselves. It was a risky job because of the tremendous patrolling and inspection of Japan on that river. In spite of this, Raghoba and his companions, while avoiding the sight of Japanese enemies, were overcome by defeating them and these people entered their outer market to their division. It was a very courageous and sensible task, for which they were immediately made havildar.

 

In December 1947, the enemy had captured Jhangar. On March 18, 1948, the country's army overcame Jangar again. (Before reaching Rajouri of Major Swa Singh's troop, he dispersed Zangar and captured the Pakistani army)

The detachment of the 4th Dogra Regiment attacked the Barwali Ridge in Rajouri on 8th April, 1948 and defeated the enemies further. This place was 11 kms away from Naushahra. But there was a lot of bad roads ahead of Barwali and the Pakistani army was also quite mines, so that there was a lot of difficulty in moving the vehicles and tanks of the Indian Army.

In this difficult moment, 2nd Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane and his 37 Assult Field Company, along with the detachment of the 4th Dogra Regiment, started the removal of the mine fields imposed by Pakistani army on 8th April, introducing courage. . Here the Pakistani army was constantly firing on them. In it, two combatants (combat engineer / a military engineer who lays or detects and disarms mines) died and 5 people, including Rama Raghoba Rane, were badly injured.

Even after being injured, Rane got along with his colleagues to finish the removal of landmines by that evening, and made the way forward for the army's vehicles and tanks.
