NCC has been introduced as an elective subject in the Under Graduate Course for all colleges of the North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU).
Governor Satya Pal Malik made the announcement today in a programme held at Raj Bhavan.
Malik said that the implementation of the proposal to introduce NCC as an elective subject for Under Graduate studies is a positive move as it would benefit the students, being a scoring subject. Life lessons learnt as a cadet will stay with the students for a lifetime and will help shape their development in all spheres, he added.
Attributing his success in public service to the training and values he received as an NCC, he lauded the efforts of the NCC and NEHU on the introduction of a new subject which will benefit students immensely.
Others who spoke on the occasion were Major General Ananta Bhuyan (Sena Medal) Additional DG, NCC, North East Directorate and Vice Chancellor of NEHU, Prof. Sri Krishna Srivastava.
