The youth of a nation are the backbone and the most powerful force within the nation. They are the hope of the future and can shape the destiny of a country. History shows that countries subjected to alien rule have without exception sought the help of youth in times of crisis. The youth have also been instrumental in the change of governments, whenever need for such a change has been felt. They have always been in the forefront in the building of political, social and economic orders of society. They play a positive role for the cause of nation and national integration. Today's generation faces greater challenges in nation building due to lack of qualities such as courage, leadership, commitment towards nation and so on. The NCC (National Cadet Corps) provides opportunities to youth of the country for their all-round development.
