RECEPTION BY CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF FOR NCC CADETS

    Admiral Madhvendra Singh, Chief of Naval Staff has offered two seats to NCC Cadets on the Naval Ships going abroad every year. Speaking at the reception hosted by him for the NCC Cadets attending the Republic Day Parade Camp here today he said this will help the cadets to get acquainted with day-to-day activities of the Navy. He asked the NCC cadets to spread the message to the rural masses whatever they are learning during their training in the NCC as others are not so fortunate to get the training like them.

    About 300 NCC cadets from all over the country including 65 cadets from the seven foreign countries attended the reception. Lt. Gen. BK Bopanna, Director General NCC and other senior officers were also present on the occasion.
