NCC builds such strong character and discipline in our youth. My son is a cadet in Pune and the change in him is remarkable. Focusing on infrastructure and training opportunities in Kerala is a welcome step. Jai Hind!

While it's good to see high-level visits, I hope the discussions on 'institutional capacity' translate to more practical, hands-on training for cadets and not just more paperwork and meetings. Sometimes the ground reality is different from HQ plans.

The naval training centre in Akkulam sounds interesting. Kerala's long coastline makes it a perfect location for promoting maritime awareness and skills through the NCC. Smart move.

As a former NCC cadet from Tamil Nadu, I know how impactful these programs are. Including Lakshadweep in the planning is crucial for national integration. More power to all the cadets! 💪

It's impressive to see the structured approach and ceremonial respect within the NCC. The Guard of Honour by the cadets is a nice tradition. Building future leaders with discipline and patriotism.
