🎖️ Over 60 NCC Cadets in Maharashtra Gain Career Footing Through Internship Scheme
More than sixty NCC cadets across Maharashtra have found meaningful career pathways thanks to a dedicated internship scheme that connects young uniformed volunteers with professional opportunities. The programme represents a significant investment in the futures of cadets who might otherwise struggle to translate their discipline and training into civilian employment. Maharashtra's adoption of this model signals a growing recognition that the skills instilled through the NCC — leadership, teamwork, and service — are assets that the broader economy should actively harness. Educators and youth advocates are pointing to the scheme as a template worth expanding to benefit even more young people in Pune and beyond. [8]
