New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the National Cadet Corps (NCC) rally at Cariappa Ground in the national capital.

Addressing the cadets, PM Modi said: "Today, when the country is moving forward with new resolutions, our efforts are to strengthen the NCC in the country.

Noting the increased participation of women, he added: "Now the nation's daughters are taking admission in Sainik Schools. Women are being given more responsibilities in the army. The daughters of the country are flying fighter planes in the Air Force. This is the change India is witnessing today. We should ensure that more and more women are included in the NCC".

PM Modi appealed to the youth saying, "We all need to connect with the roots of India. We can change India's future with your determination and support. Drug addiction destroys the life of youngsters, we need to fight against this".

At the event, he inspected the Guard of Honour, reviewed March Past by NCC contingents, and also witnessed the NCC cadets displaying their skills in army action, slithering, microlight flying, parasailing, along with cultural programmes.

The best cadets also received medals and batons from the Prime Minister. 

The rally is the culmination of NCC Republic Day Camp and is held on January 28 every year.
