New Delhi, Jan 26 (IANS): The maiden batch of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) girls' unit of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Sunday conferred a guard of honour to the Vice Chancellor M. Jagadesh Kumar, as the University celebrated the Republic Day.
"The guard of honour by 15 girl NCC cadets during Republic Day Celebrations in the JNU is not only significant for us as a University, but also it sends out a larger message of unity and discipline.
"We are proud of our cadets and we hope to establish a boys NCC unit also at JNU," the Vice Chancellor said after the parade.
