This unique expedition attracted tremendous enthusiasm among the locals who have shown a deep inclination to be a part of the armed forces.

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) strives to be and is one of the greatest cohesive forces of the nation, bringing together the youth hailing from different parts of the country and moulding them into united and disciplined citizens of the nation.
It is one of the essential organisations which has played an instrumental role in capacity building not just for the Indian Army but for the entire nation.(KNS)
