The National Cadet Corps (NCC) has launched the first flying Air Squadron in J&K’s Udhampur district to provide ground-breaking opportunities for students of the Union Territory in aviation and related fields, a defence spokesman said.

This initiative aims at enhancing educational opportunities for youth in the region. “Schools and colleges are encouraged to apply for enrollment in the NCC Air Wing,” the spokesman said.

“The NCC Air Wing is designed to offer students exposure to aviation and related fields, fostering a deeper understanding and interest in these areas,” the spokesman said. However, due to limited vacancies, slots will be filled on a ‘First Come, First Serve’ basis. “Interested institutions should act quickly to ensure their students do not miss out on this exceptional opportunity,” he added.

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).
