As many as 2,361 NCC cadets are part of the annual Republic Day camp that kicked off in the national capital on Monday.

The cadets have been selected from all 28 states and eight Union Territories, the Ministry of Defence said.

The camp started at the Cariappa Parade Ground at the Delhi Cantt with an all-religion prayer.

This year, 917 girl cadets are part of the camp, which is the highest number of girls at the camp ever.

The party includes 114 cadets from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and 178 cadets from North East Region.

In addition, cadets and officers from 14 Friendly Foreign Countries will participate in the camp as part of a Youth Exchange Programme.

NCC director general Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh welcomed the cadets advising them to display the highest qualities of character, integrity, selfless service and teamwork.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
