Discipline must
The CM said the NCC came into existence in 1947 to build a strong young parade.Discipline is very important and that helps in personality development.
The country needs history and it has, but it requires character also.We have the acharyas but we need to practice them.
That practice exists in NCC.It is a matter of regret that the number of youths enrolling in the NCC is declining every year in the current modern world. Officers must inspire the students to join NCC”.
NCC must grow on the lines of a regiment
Bommai wanted NCC to grow along the lines of the regiment.As the battalion is built as a regiment even NCC must grow as a regiment and then only it will gain importance.It will also prompt the youths to join NCC.
For personality development,NCC is best and cadets from all over the state including rural areas have joined. All these cadets are meritorious and intelligent and what they need is self-confidence which they will get from NCC.
They must face the challenges of life and change their lives accordingly.The personality will be different before and after joining NCC.
75 units to be started this year
He said the courage and self-confidence that they will get in NCC help them in life.The state government is ready to provide any assistance to NCC.

For the first time in the history of Karnataka,75 units are added.This year, more than 2800 new cadets are expected to join NCC.
