NCC builds character and helps in personality development: Guv

Activities of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) do not only provide motivation for positive attitude but are also very important for character  building and personality development. 

The Uttarakhand Governor Dr Krishan Kant Paul said this while addressing members of the NCC contingent that participated in the Republic Day camp and parade at Rajpath in the national capital.

Hundred and three cadets selected on meritorious basis out of about 25,500 cadets in Uttarakhand, who had represented the State in the Republic Day parade met the governor at the Raj Bhawan on Monday. Appreciating the enthusiasm, discipline and self confidence of the cadets, the governor said that participating in the republic day national camp and parade is a prestigious experience. 

On the occasion, the Governor also shared the memories of his own student life during which period he was also an NCC cadet. 

The visiting cadets also sang the NCC song on the occasion. NCC Uttarakhand ADG Major General Pankaj Malhotra, colonel Jorawar Singh, colonel DS Shekhawat and captain Seema Jaiswal also accompanied the cadets to the Raj Bhawan visit.
