Jammu, November 1

The week-long National Cadet Corps (NCC) annual training camp by 2 J&K Girls Battalion is proceeding exceptionally well here, a defence spokesman said on Sunday.

The camp, which started on October 28 at Nagrota in Jammu and Kashmir, is being attended by around 200 girl cadets.

The training programme is being executed in a prudent way to provide overall exposure to cadets pertaining to the vast realm of the NCC, the spokesman said.

He said amid the Covid pandemic, major thrust was being given on Covid protocols to ensure the safety of cadets participating at the training camp.

The spokesman said as a prerequisite for the allotment of barracks, cadets took rapid-antigen tests, which was again conducted in a phased manner, as per the protocols. The girl cadets are being trained to transcend obstacles like gate vault, clear jump, high-wall, zig-zag balance and double ditch, he said, adding that they are also being given weapons training.

Map-reading and drills, honing of skills of cadets and developing their personality are also part of the training programme.— PTI
