Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi today said that Operation Sindoor was a defining demonstration of the country’s resolve and restraint, reflecting the moral strength and professional excellence of the armed forces. General Dwivedi said this while addressing the National Cadet Corps (NCC) Republic Day Parade Camp 2026 in New Delhi. 

 

The Army Chief said that during Operation Sindoor, over 75 thousand NCC cadets volunteered across the country and worked tirelessly in civil defence, hospital management, disaster relief, and community services. He said that NCC cadets exemplify the motto of unity and discipline.

 

General Dwivedi emphasised that the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 can only be achieved collectively by young leaders, NCC cadets, innovators, teachers, engineers, doctors, soldiers, and responsible citizens. He also said that they must rise with confidence, march with discipline, innovate with integrity, and serve the country.
