SRINAGAR, JUN 27: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha interacted with National Cadet Corps (NCC) Cadets at the Special National Integration Camp, today at Chinar Auditorium, Badami Bagh Cantt, Srinagar.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor commended the NCC Directorate, J&K and Ladakh, Headquarters 15 Corps and Headquarters 31 Sub Area for organising Special National Integration Camp to provide an opportunity to expose youth from various parts of the country to the rich culture and traditions of J&K and present inspiring example of unity in diversity.
“National Cadet Corps shapes young minds and proudly serves society and the nation. NCC cadets have displayed courage and novel approach to challenges to societal progress. Priceless values like discipline, team work, leadership and dedication have helped the NCC cadets to build a better future,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor highlighted the invaluable contribution of National Cadet Corps, one of the largest and most dynamic youth organizations in the country, to strengthening national unity. He said, the NCC has preserved and promoted nation’s cultural values and traditions.
“I see the talented young men and women of the NCC as the custodians of India’s ancient civilization. Also, the NCC cadets from across the country, participating in this Special National Integration Camp, will become brand ambassadors of Jammu and Kashmir,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor called upon the youth to inculcate the spirit of ‘Nation First’ and motivate people to discharge their duties towards the nation.
“Youth are our hope for a brighter future. Youth are the most valuable assets for any region and government. Youth are the true catalysts of change in society. Youth must imbibe the profound values of the NCC – discipline, unity, leadership, and selfless service and work collectively to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He said the message should also be conveyed through the Special National Integration Camp that the participation of the youth in the planning and development process at the grassroots level should be ensured so that socio-economic development can be fully realized.
The NCC should be seen as a bridge between the administration and youth aspirations. By leveraging the NCC’s network and connect, we can ensure the active participation of youth in various nation-building activities.
