National Cadet Corps (NCC) has set its eyes on a long-term plan to increase enrolment of cadets from current 11 lakh to 25 lakh to shape the youths of the country into good citizens.
“Currently, NCC has around 11 lakh cadets enrolled across the country. The administration has decided to get enrolled more than two-and-a-half lakh cadets in next year’s plan,” said Air Marshal Ajit Bhonsle, Deputy Chief Integrated Defence Staff (DOT); and Major General R K Sharma, Commandant, NCC Officers’ Training Academy (OTA), Kamptee, on Saturday.
Interacting with newspersons after the passing out parade of Associate NCC Officers at the OTA, the Air Marshal said, disciplined society is the need of every developing country and NCC is building that through imparting character, courage, discipline, leadership among youths. “NCC is motivating youths for selfless service and making them useful citizens of the country. Unity and discipline form the motto of NCC, and the force is imbibing qualities of patriotism and national fervour among the cadets,” he said.
Relating Integrated Defence Staff (IDS) with NCC, the Air Marshal said that IDS was a combination of three services -- the Army, Air Force, and the Navy. “NCC is built on the same lines,” he observed.
Praising the OTA at Kamptee, Air Marshal Bhonsle said, training is the most important factor in the corps and the OTA is imparting quality training to trainers. If a trainer is trained well, he/she will train the cadets better. “NCC officers are working hard across the country to build disciplined youth and future of the country. The corps is motivating the youths to join Armed Forces,” he added. Brigadier S B Singh and Wg Cdr Samir Gangakhedkar also were present during the interaction.
