The Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat I Camp at NEHU Shillong is continuing on with full enjoyment and enthusiasm as the young cadets partake in various competitions in displaying the vibrant culture of their roots through singing and dancing with pride.
A cultural competition comprising group song, group dance, solo song, solo dance, national integration awareness presentation, debate and extempore competition were held.
The cadets were also made to undergo a two-day special training by the Ex Participants Association of India (EXPA), who are a group of former cadets from all over the country. The aim of the special training was to teach cadets life skills, teach them to identify their strengths and weaknesses, develop their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills and to groom their personality to be future leaders of the country.
The cadets are also taught unity in diversity through inter-mixing of groups and each cadet will teach their own cultural dances and songs and at the same time learn the culture of others.
The cadets also had a fun-packed day today and were able to witness the glorious sites of Sohra as they visited the attractions of Thangkharang Park, Mawsmai Cave, Nohsngithiang Falls and the Air Force Museum. The cherry on the cake was the opportunity to meet Hima Das, the India sprinter from Assam, belovedly known as “The Dhing Express”.
