The National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets would soon be imparted training on satellite imagery and Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping, Defence Secretary Dr Ajay Kumar said on Friday after launching a mobile training app version 2.0 to assist in conducting countrywide online training to NCC cadets .
Dr. Kumar said Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for uniforms would soon be made available, wherein uniform allowances would be directly transferred to the bank accounts of the cadets, according to a Defence Ministry statement.
Using this app, NCC cadets would be able to attend online training, appear in certificate exams and prevent loss of academic year. It aimed at providing NCC-related basic information and entire training material -- syllabus, précis, training videos, frequently asked questions on one platform, the statement said.
