President urges youth to join NCC

President APJ Abdul Kalam on Monday suggested that a two-year NCC training be made compulsory for school and college students as he felt it would lead to elimination of corruption from the society, promote discipline and help protect the environment.

“In my view, two years’ NCC training must be made compulsory for all eligible students, both for boys and girls at the school or college level,” Kalam said while delivering the National Cadet Corps lecture here.

He wasaddresing NCC cadets and officers who had come from across the country to participate in its 56th Founding Day celebrations.

Kalam said 540 million youth below the age of 25 were the “prime resource” for transforming India into a developed country by 2020.

He said he was confident that if 10 million trained NCC cadets were “injected” into the society with a mission every year, it would have a positive impact by promoting righteous life, eliminating corruption, improving efficiency, augmentating a clean environment and ensuring disciplined and committed action on the part of the cadets.

“The mission of the NCC rightly fits into the evolution of enlightened citizens needed for developed India mission,” he added.
