Taking pride in our roots and cultural heritage is key. We are a diverse nation, but unity is our strength. NCC plays a vital role in instilling this sense of national pride, especially in the border states.

While the sentiment is good, I hope this "nation first" spirit is also reflected in providing better infrastructure and opportunities for youth in Arunachal and the entire North-East. Action must follow words.
