Srinagar: The Annual Training Camp of the 3 J&K Battalion, National Cadet Corps (NCC), commenced with high energy and enthusiasm at the Zorawar Training Academy in Udhampur.
The 10-day camp, which brings together 285 cadets from North Kashmir, aims to cultivate a strong sense of discipline, leadership, and community service among the youth. It will conclude on August 11.
The training program offers a well-rounded curriculum focused on Social Service, Community Development, Disaster Response, and Tactical Military Training. These sessions are designed not only to instill core military values and discipline but also to foster resilience, responsibility, and civic engagement in cadets.
Led by five Associate NCC Officers (ANOs) and supported by ten members of the Permanent Instructional (PI) Staff, the camp provides a structured environment where cadets also undertake administrative and routine responsibilities. This hands-on approach enhances leadership qualities, teamwork, and stress management skills.
A key highlight of this year’s camp is a series of interactive sessions with distinguished professionals from various fields. Covering topics such as life skills, martial arts, sportsmanship, and adolescent health, these engagements aim to inspire cadets and equip them with the tools needed to face modern-day challenges confidently.
The camp exemplifies the NCC’s mission of shaping young minds through a blend of physical training, intellectual stimulation, and community service. It continues to serve as a platform for empowering youth and nurturing the values of unity, discipline, and nation-building.
