NEW DELHI, Jan 3 (PTI): The National Cadet Corps (NCC) has plans to train as many as 1 lakh cadets as first responders in the wake of natural disasters, NCC DG, Lt Gen Virendra Vats said on Saturday.
The cadets will be known as Yuva Apda Mitras, and they will be trained and linked with the national database, so that the services can be used by the nation in case of need in future, Vats said while addressing a press conference at Delhi Cantonment.
The NCC has also started work on raising four to five hubs across the country where select cadets can be trained on drone and counter-drone aspects, he said.
