PM ADDRESSES

THE NCC RALLY

The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, took the salute, at an impressive

ceremonial parade, held at Cariappa Parade Ground, Delhi Cantt by the NCC cadets. It was a grand spectacle of pageantry, marked with precision, as also a vibrant expression of pulsating energy and excellence embedded in the smart drill. One Hundred and Fifteen cadets from 10 friendly foreign countries, participating under Youth Exchange Programme (YEP), also marched along with their Indian counterparts. It was a true picture of the aspirational India, on their journey to become worthy empowered citizens, with sound values, inculcated by a common powerful binding force – the NATIONAL CADET CORPS.

The Prime Minister Rally, evolved in its present form in 1954 and since then, all the Prime Ministers have graciously presided over the event. About 2155 cadets participated in the rally this year, which was a fine culmination of the month long NCC Republic Day Camp 2020.

The smart march-past by the cadets from 17 NCC Directorates included a mounted column and the NCC bands marching in tune.
