โ€œIt (NCC) inculcates self-discipline, obedience, sincerity and determination amongst the cadets. There must be more and more NCC units, which will help in developing a disciplined human resource in our State,โ€ Mishra said.

Sharing his idea of organizing an Independence Day NCC camp in place of the Republic Day NCC camp to avoid academic losses to the students, the Governor asked the officers and cadets to provide him with required inputs, โ€œso that it can be pursued at the highest decision making authorityโ€™s level.โ€
