Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launched the Directorate General National Cadet Corps (DGNCC) Mobile Training App on Thursday. The App will assist in conducting countrywide online training of NCC cadets.

In view of the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, training of NCC cadets has been affected adversely as it is mostly contact-based training. Since schools/colleges are not likely to open in the near future, a need was felt that training to NCC cadets should be imparted utilising the digital medium.

Singh also interacted with the NCC cadets via video conferencing during the launch of the App and also answered their questions.  He wished them success and motivated them to excel in all spheres of life.

In his address to the NCC Cadets, he said the app will be useful to them in digital learning and overcoming the difficulties posed by COVID-19 due to restrictions on direct physical interactions. But if one moves ahead with determination and self-confidence, he or she would be able to clear all hurdles and achieve success, he added.

This app will be useful to NCC cadets in digital learning and overcoming the difficulties posed by COVID-19 due to restrictions on direct physical interactions.

The DGNCC Mobile Training App aims at providing NCC cadets entire training material (syllabus, précis, training videos and frequently asked questions) on one platform. The App has been made interactive by including a query option. By using this option, a cadet can post his question related to the training syllabus and the same will be answered by a panel of qualified instructors.
