Selection of Cadets for RDC

Achievements of NCC in 2022

While interacting with media, DG NCC Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh also shed light on NCC’s achievements in 2022. He praised cadets’ participation in various initiatives such as the Puneet Sagar Abhiyan, Saheedon Ko Shat Shat Naman, International Yoga Day, Har Ghar Tiranga, and the Unity Flame Run.

The NCC’s young Cadets took part in the Puneet Sagar Abhiyaan and popularised it throughout India by mobilising local people to participate in this noble event of water body cleansing. Approximately 13.5 lakh NCC cadets have participated in the project to date, with nearly 208 tonnes of plastic waste collected, 167 tonnes of which were recycled.

Lt. Gen. Gurbirpal Singh also mentioned Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat – Independence Day Camp (EBSB-IDC) that was organised by NCC from July 31 to August 16, 2022, as part of the 75th Independence Day Celebrations at the Red Fort. The camp was an opportunity for the cadets, who hailed from each district of the country, to witness the Independence Day events and also to showcase the cultural diversity of India.
