In first-of-its-kind endeavour, St Kabir Public School formed the first Girls’ NCC Naval Wing of the city.

The launch of the wing also complements the Kargil Vijjay Diwas and the boys’ (Army) Half Wing that has been in existence at the school since 2001.

The ceremony was attended by Brig Ranjit Singh, Commander of the Chandigarh Group NCC. He interacted with students and made them aware of contributions of the armed forces in national security and nation building.

Brig Ranjit Singh further said the prowess of the NCC Cadets of St Kabir is known far and wide due to a large number of awards won by them every year and particularly due to the fact that a cadet of the school has also won the best cadet award during the Republic Day camp in 2017.

He praised the school management, especially its Director and Founder Principal JP Singh, for their vision and devotion to the cause of education. Brig Ranjit Singh also assured the school that the group will welcome any request from the school to promote NCC activities.
