The March of Rural India, NCC Camp Grooms Officers

The Director General NCC, Lt Gen Prakash S Chaudhary alongwith other officers, psychologist and the NCC cadets at the special camp on personality development and intervention programme, in New Delhi on June 12, 2008.

Ever wondered how a young lad, all of 21, from a remote village in the far-flung northeast stormed his way into the front pages having bagged the coveted best cadet’s trophy at the premier National Defence Academy (NDA) passing out parade held at Khadakwasla recently. Yes, Romen Yumnam hails from a quaint little village, Lanmeidong, on the Myanmar border yet the proud peasant’s son walked away with the President’s Gold Medal for merit in academics and sports. Yumnam is not alone; six other cadets from the insurgency-hit state gave company to the champion boxer as another 280 marched through the portals of the NDA on May 31 for the last time.
