NCC Directorate North Eastern Region, senior under officer, Risa-Iba Laloo, who led 1000 cadets during the NCC PM rally at the Cariappa Parade Ground in New Delhi, was adjudged the Best Commander.
Laloo, who hails from Diwon village in Ri Bhoi district, is the daughter of Was Laloo and Wilda Teron. She joined the NCC in 2020.
An ecstatic Laloo said this feat will encourage her to move further in life. She aspires to join the Indian Army and hope she becomes a source of encouragement for youth of the state and the North Eastern region to work hard and strive to achieve their dreams and contribute positively towards nation building.
Laloo said it was not an easy task to lead a thousand cadets as she had to undergo several stages of trainings and trails to get selected.
The National Cadet Corps celebrated the 75th year of its inception this year on Saturday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the rally.
Around 196 officers and cadets from 19 foreign countries were invited to be a part of the celebrations.
