Chandigarh: It was a proud moment for Air Sqn NCC of City beautiful, when they came to know that their cadets Abhishek and Roshni have been shortlisted for Youth Exchange Programme (YEP). For Cadet Abhishek and Cadet Roshani of no. 1 Chandigarh Air Sqn NCC, it is dream come true as very few cadets from India have been selected by National Cadets Corps (NCC) for this event.

Looking forward to the learning and exposure from  the programme, Abhishek said, "This oppurtunity would bring great exposure to me as I would get a chance to visit a new country, enhance my knowledge and interact with cadets and dignitaries of other country. Since I joined NCC, it was my long dream to attend YEP." The destinations of the programme is yet to be confirmed.

 

"YEP cadets from all across the world would take part. We would exchange ideas and views with each other in the programme. I have already started preparing as I want to participate in every event and make my country proud." Said Roshani. Serving the country by joining the defense forces is her true calling, she believes. "At a very early age I decided that I wanted to join the defence forces and serve my country. I want to join the Indian Air Force as fighter pilot."

 

Commanding officer of Chandigarh Air NCC, Wing Commander M R Pandeya said, "Abhishek and Roshani have made us proud. They are one of the most promising cadets of the unit. I hope that they do well during the visit and earn a good name for us."
