Honours J&K-Ladakh National Cadets Corps for R-Day feats <\/strong><\/p>\n

Urges them to prioritise society\u2019s welfare, duty over convenience <\/strong><\/p>\n

Says development is about \u2018we\u2019 not \u2018I\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jammu, Feb 02: \u201cThe true meaning of a developed society and a developed nation, extends far beyond infrastructure, modern technology, or economic progress alone. A developed society and nation also signify a place where people possess strong character, where social values stand firm, and where the social fabric remains bound together in unity,\u201d Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Monday.<\/p>\n

He said that the nation’s true identity emerges from the thinking, conduct, and mutual trust of its citizens and it is the youth who create this wealth of thought and conduct. \u201cAt the heart of a developed nation stands youth power. Young people constitute the most energetic, creative, and transformative force of any country. Youth are the drivers of change,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

He was addressing the NCC cadets of NCC Directorate, Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh, who returned from New Delhi after attending the Republic Day Camp.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor lauded the contribution of National Cadets Corps (NCC) in nurturing youth, promoting self-less service and building a developed society and the nation.<\/p>\n

He stated that the NCC has inspired generations of youth with the understanding that national interest stands above personal gain, and that working together for society’s welfare represents the true leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 1948, the NCC has provided the country’s youth with a platform where young people from diverse backgrounds unite with a shared purpose. Through camps, training, cultural programs, and social campaigns, the NCC has brought values like discipline, leadership, teamwork, and service into the lives of millions of young people. The NCC has inspired generations of youth with the understanding that national interest stands above personal gain, and that working together for society’s welfare represents true leadership,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that only when young people choose duty over convenience and prioritize society’s welfare over their own interests can a developed society and nation truly take shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen honesty, hard work, and the spirit of service become integral to young people’s lives in society, development ceases to remain confined to statistics- it becomes connected to life values,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor asked the NCC cadets to focus on self-development. \u201cYour self-development connects directly to the country’s progress. When NCC cadets and young people in society advance toward excellence in any field with newfound confidence, they not only secure their own future but also contribute to the nation’s progress,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that the NCC cadets in Jammu Kashmir bear the significant responsibility of strengthening brotherhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want cadets of the Jammu Kashmir Ladakh NCC Directorate to eliminate walls of region, language, caste, and religion through their collective work.<\/p>\n

The development is not limited to “I” but is truly connected to “we.” In giving concrete form to this collective spirit, no other organization in India has contributed more than the NCC<\/p>\n

I want you to create feelings of respect and trust in every district’s social fabric through national and international exposure, shared experiences, and common goals. Always remember that mutual brotherhood develops through cooperation, sensitivity, and collective responsibility. All NCC cadets must together create an atmosphere where unity is practiced daily and diversity is transformed into society’s strength,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor observed that, for contributing to different sectors of developed India, we need leadership founded on ethics and social responsibility. He said, whether in IT, industry, education, armed forces, or culture, work must be done with accountability in all fields.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor commended the Jammu Kashmir Ladakh NCC Directorate for incorporating the drone technology into training, in line with today’s global changes.\u00a0 \u201cI am fully confident that such initiatives will become not merely the nation’s future but its present strength,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor also felicitated the Cadets with the Certificates of Excellence for their significant contributions to the success of the contingent. He complimented the Cadets and NCC officers for their excellent performance on Kartavya Path and at various other competitions.\u00a0 The Cadets also shared their experience at the Republic Day camp.<\/p>\n
