Around 600 NCC cadets including the special Thal Sainik cadets are getting training in tent pitching, general knowledge, health and hygiene, obstacles, firing, map reading, judging distance, battle-craft, field-craft and many other areas of defence in this camp which concludes on July 20. The battalion comprises cadets selected from various government and private educational institutions in Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak and Rangareddy districts.
Cadets were busy attending classes to appear for exams to get B and C certificates on successful completion. Swetha Bhanoth, one of the Thal Sainiks who was part of the tent pitching group is a student of Government Polytechnic College in Nizamabad. She was here to participate in the Inter Directorate Shooting Competition (IDSC) and has completed two camps in Karimnagar and the third camp held in Sangareddy last week.
On being selected here in shooting, she hopes to participate in the inter-group competition which would be held in Secunderabad. From there she hopes to be selected for All-India Thal Sainik Camp. Al most all the girls in the Thal Sainik group have made up their minds about joining the armed forces to serve the country in the near future.
Those who obtain certificates from NCC not only get reservations in educational institutions and jobs, but also directly go to the interview level during defence recruitments. Speaking to The Hans India, Colonel Raja Dutta, Commanding Officer of the Batallion said that physical training, drill, classes and firing among many other activities inculcate qualities like discipline, confidence and national integration.
When asked why most of them were preferring Army instead of Navy and Air force, he said that Army had more visibility when compared to other areas of defence. 10 per cent of NCC cadets coming from rural areas of Medak and Sangareddy preferred Army jobs, whereas 25 per cent are opting for police jobs.
