Varanasi: A 10-day Combined Annual Training Camp organised by the 91 UP Battalion NCC, Mughalsarai, concluded on Saturday with great enthusiasm and dignity in Varanasi.

During the camp, cadets received training in firing, drill, map reading, traffic control, disaster management, and specialised sessions conducted by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). They also attended SSB-oriented classes and leadership development programmes.

They were also taught how to adapt to challenging situations and changing weather conditions, along with techniques to face difficulties with resilience. Sports events, social awareness campaigns, and cultural activities further contributed to their all-round development.
On the final day, a grand cultural evening showcased the talents of the cadets through patriotic songs, group dances, dramas, and other performances. Their captivating presentations entertained officers and guests in attendance.
Addressing the closing ceremony, Commanding Officer Colonel Amar Singh urged cadets to incorporate the lessons and experiences gained during the camp into their lives.
