Personal Reflections of CMP, NCC Cadets

NCC generates a chronicle development in my journey as an NCC cadet, the uniform became more than fabric stitched together; it became a symbol of growth, camaraderie, and service. The discipline instilled wasn’t a set of rules; it was a guide to navigating life’s complexities with a sense of order. Leading my squad wasn’t just about commands; it was about fostering unity and trust. (Sargent, Tripti Pandey, B.Sc 3rd yr student)
