The Annual Training Camp of the 1 Goa Naval Unit NCC is currently underway at the Multipurpose Sports Stadium in Pernem, bringing together around 500 NCC cadets from 25 educational institutions across Goa. The camp is being conducted under the command of Capt. Sumeet Sinha, Commanding Officer of the unit, and serves as a key platform for holistic cadet development.
Designed in keeping with the ethos of the National Cadet Corps, the camp focuses on enhancing physical fitness, mental alertness, social awareness, and a strong sense of unity and camaraderie among participants. Cadets from diverse institutions train together, fostering teamwork, discipline, and mutual respect.
The training programme includes a range of activities aimed at developing leadership and overall personality. Cadets undergo weapon handling sessions, boat pulling practice on simulators, semaphore training, and attend lectures on various service-related subjects that build awareness of defence forces and national service.
The smooth conduct of the camp has been made possible with the active support of the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs, Government of Goa, whose logistical assistance has played a crucial role. Camp administration is being efficiently managed by a dedicated team comprising Permanent Instructional staff, State Government staff, and Associate NCC Officers.
Through structured training and shared experiences, the Annual Training Camp continues to shape young cadets into disciplined, confident, and socially responsible citizens, reinforcing the NCCโs commitment to nation-building and youth empowerment.
