Great to see our youth getting recognition. NCC builds character and discipline like nothing else. My nephew was in NCC and it completely changed his attitude towards life and the country. More parents should encourage their children to join.

The focus on the terracotta tableau from Dhubri is wonderful. It's high time our rich, diverse crafts from the Northeast get a national platform. This is true Atmanirbhar Bharat – celebrating and sustaining our indigenous arts. Kudos to the cadets for representing us so well.

While the event is positive, I hope this isn't just a one-day ceremony. The Governor spoke of disaster relief and social service – the government should provide more structured opportunities and funding for NCC cadets to actually lead such projects year-round in their communities.
