While addressing the rally, PM Modi lauded the “determination and spirit” of NCC cadets in serving the nation for over the last 75 years. “NCC is celebrating 75 years of its formation. Those who have represented NCC over the last 75 years have been a part of it, I appreciate their contribution to nation-building. India is proud of the determination and spirit of service of the NCC cadets,” the Prime Minister said.

PM Modi yet again hailed the contribution of youngsters and asserted that Yuva Shakti is India’s driving force. He further emphasised that the youth of India is the main reason why the entire globe is now looking towards our country. “The youth of the country are benefiting from India's defence sector reforms. In the last eight years, the number of our daughters in the police and paramilitary forces has doubled. Today, we see deployment of women in all three wings of the armed forces," he added.

"From the border areas and coastal areas, around 1 lakh people have nominated for NCC. When such a huge youth power wants to be associated with the development of the country, no goal will be impossible," the Prime Minister underlined.
