Three Course Mates, Three Chiefs

KB, RK and Manoj – three young lads joined NDA in July 1976. While KB went to Hunter Squadron. RK and Manoj joined Lima Squadron. They passed through the rigours of NDA, not as prominent cadets, but as confident youngsters. On passing out from NDA, KB’s pen picture read, “This naval cadet believed in living and letting others live. Excelled in swimming.” And RKS Bhadauria was described as “A typical Lima CQ, made his presence felt. Watched the eats with hawk eyes. Good at football, hockey, academics and decency,” while Manoj was “Cool-comfy, sneaked in and out of the squadron like a shy bat. Rarely spoke.”

Shri Rajnath Singh has approved a proposal for addition of three lakh cadet vacancies in the National Cadet Corps (NCC).
This expansion will cater to the increasing demand for NCC from educational institutions. From just 20,000 cadets in 1948,
the NCC will now have a sanctioned strength of 20 lakh cadets on its rolls making it the largest uniformed youth organisation of the world.
