The Karnataka Government will fund the creation of 75 units of National Cadet Corps (NCC) in educational institutions across the State to commemorate 75 years of Independence, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Sunday as he relaunched the Government Flying School at Jakkur here.
“The additional units will enable induction of additional 7,500 cadets to NCC in the State. The State Government will spend ₹12,000 per cadet annually in the new units. This comes at a time when the interest of youth towards NCC has come down,” the Chief Minister said after inaugurating a slew of programmes organised by Department of Sports and Youth Empowerment here. He said that there are about 44,000 NCC cadets studying in educational institutions in the State currently.
