Major General Anupinder Bevli, VSM, Additional Director General (ADG) of the Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh (JK&L) Directorate of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), conducted a comprehensive review visit to the newly established 1 J&K Air Squadron NCC on January 10, 2025. His visit was aimed at assessing the functioning of the unit and ensuring the highest standards of flying safety.
During his visit, Major General Anupinder Bevli took the opportunity to commend the staff for their dedication and hard work in setting up and managing the operations of the squadron. He emphasized the critical importance of timely cadet enrollment, quality training, and an early commencement of flying training to ensure the cadets receive the best possible preparation for their future roles. This focus on early training aligns with the NCC’s broader objective of fostering leadership, discipline, and a sense of national service among the youth of the region.
The ADG’s visit comes at a time when the NCC is actively engaging with the youth from the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, regions that have recently seen significant administrative changes following their bifurcation into Union Territories. Maj Gen Bevli’s engagement with NCC units in these areas underscores the organization’s commitment to integrating local youth into national service and development activities, promoting unity and discipline amidst diversity.
This recent visit by Maj Gen Bevli follows his earlier commendation of the 2 J&K Girls Battalion NCC, highlighting the consistent efforts by the NCC to maintain high standards of performance and discipline. His leadership emphasizes institutional training as a cornerstone for shaping future leaders who embody values like responsibility, patriotism, and a secular outlook, which are crucial for the NCC’s mission.
In light of these developments, the NCC Special Entry Scheme for the 58th Course, scheduled for October 2025, was announced, offering a golden opportunity for both male and female candidates to join the Indian Army. This initiative not only broadens the scope of youth involvement but also aligns with the strategic vision Maj Gen Bevli has for the NCC in Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh, focusing on accountability, excellence, and early engagement in training activities.
Maj Gen Bevli’s visit and his emphasis on these aspects serve as a guiding principle for the NCC units, reinforcing the organization’s legacy as a premier institution for youth development in India. His engagement with the cadets and staff at 1 J&K Air Squadron NCC was marked by an interactive session, leaving the participants motivated and inspired to uphold the values and standards set forth by the NCC.
