NCC Group online camp
Dibrugarh: Dibrugarh-based National Cadets Corps (NCC) Group Headquarters on Monday commenced online Camp ‘Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat IV’ commenced its cadets from North Eastern Region, West Bengal and Sikkim Directorates.
Around 250 ANOs and cadets would be attending the six-day camp.
“NCC has been making continuous efforts to ensure that training of cadets does not get stalled due to the Covid-19 situation. National level or interstate level camps are not possible in the current state, hence to tide over the limitations online training methods are being utilized,” Tezpur-based defence PRO Lt Col Harsh Vardhan Pande said.
The online camp would conclude on November 7.
The camp will be conducted through a webinar using Google meet G suite platform.
The Theme of the camp is Swachhta and toy making in north east which will be conducted by way of presentations, discussions, interactions to showcase the history, geography, tourism, cuisines and cultural heritage of all the various states of North East, West Bengal & Sikkim.
“The aim of online Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat Saptah will be to foster the spirit of National Integration and solidarity by overcoming cultural, religious, geographical, environmental and linguistic barriers,” he said.
While the aspects of bonding, peer learning, team building and thrill of physically seeing the natural, cultural and geographical beauty cannot be replaced through online camp, maximum endeavour will be made to overcome the shortcomings by showing videos on various aspects of the region.
Three more such camps have been organised in the past which have been oversubscribed and liked by the cadets of other directorates and the response to attend this camp was overwhelming.
The highlights of this camp would be cultural exchange including dances, festivals celebrated, group discussions and live interaction between cadets of both directorates.
Maj Gen Anant Bhuyan, ADG NER, Shillong gave out the opening address to all the participants of this camp.
The General Officer during his address exhorted the cadets to learn maximum during the six day camp through the online interactive sessions which will be conducted by cadets from various states.
