Marching Towards Progress

Youth as the Torchbearers
of Progress

In 2014, about 14 lakh
youth were associated with
NCC. Now in 2024, more than
20 lakh youth are associated
with NCC. Compared to earlier
times, provision for NCC has
been made in five thousand
new schools and colleges…
and the biggest aspect is
that earlier the number of
girl cadets in NCC was just
around 25%. Now the number
of girl cadets in NCC has risen
to almost 40%.
