Recently, Chief Minister Shri Pema Khandu inaugurated the NCC Academy Complex at Pasighat, East Siang District, marking a significant step as Arunachal Pradesh gets its first NCC Training Academy and the second such academy in the Northeast.
The new academy is not just about buildings and training facilities. It is about giving our young people a place where they can learn, grow and discover their own potential. With facilities for training, accommodation, administration and other essential needs, cadets will have a dedicated environment to develop discipline, confidence, teamwork and leadership.
The academy can also open doors for more students across the state to experience the values of discipline, unity, courage and leadership.
