NCC cadets must help safeguard nation’s unity, says Air Commodore Narsingh Sailani

NCC cadets should play an active role in safeguarding the unity and integrity of the nation by promoting friendship, mutual understanding and a spirit of brotherhood among people from different backgrounds, said Air Commodore Narsingh Sailani, Deputy Director General of the NCC for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Addressing cadets during his visit to a special national integration camp being held at Sri Viswashanthi High School in Gandigunta in Krishna district, he said national integration could be strengthened by encouraging young people from different parts of the country to understand and respect one another’s cultures and traditions.

Around 300 NCC cadets representing 16 directorates from across the country are participating in the 10-day camp. Mr. Sailani described the camp as a true embodiment of the National Cadet Corps’ motto, “Unity and Discipline”, and said it offered an ideal platform for cadets to interact, exchange ideas and foster national unity.

Mr. Sailani said such activities help instil discipline, leadership, teamwork, mutual cooperation and brotherhood among young people. They also enable cadets to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures, customs and traditions followed across the country, he added.

Stressing the importance of the principle of “Unity in Diversity”, he said NCC camps play a significant role in strengthening national integration and nurturing a sense of national pride among youth. He said the 10-day camp would leave the cadets with valuable lessons and memorable experiences to cherish throughout their lives.
