She said the NCC certainly gives a very important message to the youth to keep participating in the social service by building unity and discipline, secularism and mutual brotherhood and also motivates the youth to make their career in the armed forces.
She further said that NCC was established in the year 1948 and today it is the largest uniformed organization in the world with about 1.5 million cadets.
