Dhanoa also inspected the flag area prepared by the cadets from all 17 NCC Directorates, depicting various Social Awareness themes. He was given a crisp brief by the cadets on their respective models. Then, the CAS visited 'Hall of Fame', a possession of NCC with a display of rich archival collection, which showcases alumni photographs, models, motivational material and other achievements of NCC.
Later, CAS along with other distinguished guests, witnessed a Cultural Programme by the cadets in the NCC auditorium. Congratulating the cadets for their captivating cultural programme and soldierly alertness on parade, Dhanoa lauded the stellar role played by NCC in shaping the country's youth through its motto of 'Unity and Discipline' enabling them to shoulder the responsibilities of building a strong nation.
