Raksha Rajya Mantri Sanjay Seth flagged in triumphant expedition team of National Cadet Corps (NCC) Girl and Boy cadets to Mt Kang Yatse-II (Ladakh) at a ceremony held in New Delhi. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister praised the cadets for their outstanding accomplishment despite facing multiple odds like adverse weather conditions. Mr. Seth exhorted the cadets to take a leaf out of the Prime Minister’s address to NCC Rally in 2022 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that it was because of the training imparted by NCC that he was capable of fulfilling the responsibility towards the nation.
The NCC Mountaineering Expedition team comprising 27 Girl and Boy Cadets, five Officers and 17 Permanent Instructors Staff successfully completed the expedition to Mt. Kang Yatse-II last month. The cadets managed the adverse effects of high altitude through rigorous training, acclimatization and medical support. While scaling the snow-laden summit, the cadets faced adverse weather conditions, heavy snowfall, strong winds and low temperatures which they surmounted with sheer perseverance, dedication and courage.
