First-ever NCC launches all-girls paramotor training course in Guwahati
In a historic first for the National Cadet Corps (NCC), the first-ever NCC All Girls Basic Paramotor Training Course has commenced at the NIMAS Paramotor Node, Guwahati, under the aegis of NCC Directorate North Eastern Region (NER) and HQ DG NCC, New Delhi.
The pioneering course brings together 30 Senior Wing (SW) girl cadets from four states, Karnataka, Telangana, Assam, and Nagaland, embodying the true spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.
The initiative marks a significant milestone in NCC’s adventure training curriculum and its commitment to Nari Shakti and Yuva Shakti.
The course provides cadets with specialised training in paramotoring, an adventure aero-sport that demands high levels of discipline, physical fitness, mental resilience, and courage. Starting with rigorous ground training, equipment familiarisation, and safety drills, cadets progressively advance to powered flight operations.
More than just learning to fly, the training instils core values of leadership, teamwork, decision-making, and overcoming fear. Each sortie pushes cadets beyond their comfort zones, turning apprehension into confidence.
“This initiative reflects NCC’s continued emphasis on empowering young women through adventure,” an NCC spokesperson said. “These 30 cadets are not just learning to take flight; they are carrying a message of courage and empowerment for young women across the country.”
With every flight, the cadets are proving that the sky is not a limit, but a new frontier to be explored. The course stands as a powerful testament to the NCC motto of Unity and Discipline and will pave the way for greater participation of girl cadets in adventure activities.
