Udupi: The 10-day Combined Annual Training Camp (CATC) conducted by the 21 Karnataka Battalion NCC at Karkala Jnana Sudha PU College from June 1 will conclude on Tuesday.
The camp brought together 592 NCC cadets for an overview of military training, camp life, physical training, firing and obstacle course training.
Selected cadets were also incorporated into Disaster Relief Management Training conducted by representatives of the District Disaster Management Authority as part of the Yuva Aapda Mitra Cadre.
Cadets were also exposed to 'Riot Control Drills' and experienced a live firing demonstration of stun and smoke grenades conducted on June 5 by the Mangaluru City Police Commissioner's office at Nakre Firing Range.
The CATC was conducted under the aegis of NCC Group Headquarters Mangaluru, and Colonel Viraj Kamath, group commander, Mangalore Group, interacted with the NCC cadets and oversaw the training.
Addressing the cadets on the first day of the CATC, Col Kamath said NCC offers good learning opportunities at an early age and NCC cadets should make good use of it. He called upon cadets to hone their skills during the camps and training programme.
He said discipline and moral courage are the two gifts that NCC offers to the cadets. Further guiding the NCC cadets, he told them to get the NCC 'C' certificate so they can directly go for the Service Selection Board (SSB) interview.
