Doimukh, Jul 25: The 1 Arunachal Pradesh Battalion National Cadet Corps (NCC) concluded its Combined Annual Training Camp (CATC-69) at Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) from July 16 to 25. A total of 334 cadets from central and western districts of Arunachal Pradesh participated in the camp, which aimed to instill discipline, leadership, and a spirit of service among the youth.
The training schedule included cultural programmes, firing competitions, drill and guard of honour competitions, obstacle courses, field craft and battle craft exercises, yoga sessions, outdoor games, and special classes conducted by PI staff and ANOs/CTOs. These activities enhanced physical endurance, teamwork, confidence, and mental resilience. Group discussions and interactive sessions strengthened communication and leadership skills.
To promote digital awareness and civic responsibility, sessions on MyBharat Portal, MyGov.in, and NDMA’s Sachet app were held. These encouraged cadets to engage with government initiatives, understand policies, and contribute to nation-building through digital platforms. The Sachet programme also trained them in disaster preparedness and community safety.
A cyber security class by police officers, along with motivational talks from dignitaries, inspired cadets to adopt safe digital practices and a spirit of public service. Additional classes on disaster management, first aid, social service, and community development further shaped their sense of responsibility. Exposure to the military lifestyle during the camp reinforced punctuality, discipline, and national pride.
The final day featured motivational talks and a prize distribution ceremony, recognizing cadets who excelled during the camp.
The programme was supported by 14 PI staff, nine civil staffers, one caretaker officer, and six ANOs/CTOs from participating institutions, who provided expert guidance and supervision.  
During the closing ceremony, Camp Commandant Col Samudra Vijay Sarma congratulated the cadets for their dedication and discipline. He urged them to study hard, set clear goals, and work toward becoming successful citizens. He also expressed gratitude to RGU VC Prof SK Nayak, Registrar Dr NT Rikam and Dr A Yuvraj, ADPE for their unwavering support and for providing the campus facilities.
The camp’s conclusion celebrated cadet achievements and reaffirmed NCC’s mission to build character, leadership, and patriotism among the youth.
