religion, race, literature, #istory and customs. It is the cementing force that

binds the citizens of a country. It motivates the man to sacrifices his individualgood to the good of the nation. $he individual citizen resolve their differences

close their ranks and bin themselves in strong bound to achieve one goal to

serve the nation and safeguard it from external danger.

It is comparable to patriotism but whilst patriotism could be defined as the

love of ones causes country, nationalism focuses more on what shape that

' nation is identified by its citizens as they are the foundation of it. 'fter

studying the sense of nationalism among the !%% and non !%% cadets ,it

becomes clear that !%% girls and boys student have more acquaintance of their

duties. :$o achieve the goal of unity and harmony in our society one of the

ways is to educate our people, especially our young generation about unity and

sense of nationalism. $hrough !ational %adet %orps only we may inculcate

these values in the younger generation. !%% training is imparted to the youth

in such a manner so that the desirable qualities of a responsible citizen, good

character for comradeship a sense of discipline, leadership, selfless services to

the nation can be planted in their minds. It is well proved that youth have very

special role in any countries development. India has the largest youthpopulation and if we look on the past youth plays a very important role in

Indian freedom fights and right from then it was well recognized that the youth

power is very essential in the development of India and to make our country a

better place to live. In Indian history we can take the example of wami

Vivekananda a youth icon. #e taught us what a young should must have and

values of life. imilarly 1hagat ingh who was the youngest freedom fighter

who sacrificed his life for the freedom of our motherland. 'part from these

many more inspiring actions are there which is done by the youth of India.

$oday if we look upon the present conditions of the country it is still in

developing mode. ur former president 4r. '..;. 'bdul 5alam said that India

will be in the list of developed countries by 7878 but by seeing the present

scenario it doesn

so the point is that if the system consists of proper number of youth the graph

might be different what we have today.

$he Indian youth have very much potential if we look upon the migration ratio

of young Indian students and professionals after the engineering and

management studies it is quite surprising that the top students of II$s and II=s

goes to foreign countries because they are getting better salary packages there

in turn these bright minded youth help a lot in the development of various

fields in those foreign countries.

=any young Indian scientist are working in !'' and as we all know that two

of !'' based Indian astronauts 5alpana %hawla and unita "illiams went to

space also with the team of !'' astronauts. $hus the matter of fact is thatIndian young minds have better skills and talent in various field and if they get

better opportunity in our own country the brain- drain of young minds will

reduce up to much extent. If they get paid according to their skills and

contributions towards the organization, they will not leave their motherland

and they will work for their own country. >or any country the youth resource is

the best resource and fortunately here in India we don

pro/ected in the right direction, it wouldn

excelling in all fields of human interest. 'part from the increasing level of the

education standard in the country, the demand for young people, created by

the entry of world famous names in the Indian market and Indian economy has

also increased remarkably in the last few decades. $his is a fortunate tie for the

youth of India as they are being showered with opportunities that their

predecessors never had. $his generation of young people in India is witnessing

a radical change that makes them confident of who they are. $he opportunities

that they are being provided enables them with chances to make it large in life

and do well for themselves as well as the country. $he time is ripe for them to

come out of their comfort zone, take a plunge and make it large. $he Indian

youth is also willing to do that and that is what makes them confident.

#owever, the Indian Houth is also struggling hard to find its own niche. truck

between the Indian traditions and values and highly influenced by the western

culture, the Indian youth has still not been able to decide its true standing.

$hey may be advancing in an economically developing and prosperous

direction but when it comes to moral and ethical calling, they still find it hard

to decide what their right place. $he Indian youth is confused in a sense

because it is still fighting hard to give up Indian roots and grasp the western

ones. $oday, the !%% offers a wide spectrum of activities classified into fivemain areas. Institutional $raining is paramount amongst these and it includes

annual training camps, weapon training, flying, sea training and familiarization

training with various services institutes like Indian =ilitary 'cademy at

4ehradun and fficers $raining chool at %hennai. %ommunity 4evelopment is

another area in which cadets have set an example by involving themselves in

various activities viz. adult literacy, drug abuse, leprosy eradication, planting

trees, blood donation, visit to old age homes, 'I4 'wareness )ally etc. f late,

the scope of adventure and sports activity has been enlarged to bring in its

ambit events such as mountaineering, para-sailing, scuba-diving, car and

motorcycle rallies and expeditions designed to explore the national heritage of

India.

!%% cadets can get /obs more easily as compared to others. rivate and public

sector employers give preference to the holders of ', 1 % certificates.

=any reputed companies like )eliance 0roup, 'mbu/a 0roup, $ata, 1irla,

Infosys and various =!%s prefer to recruit !%% cadets. $hus !%% improves the

status of the cadets in the /ob market and helps them in achieving the aim of

their life. ne can easily identify the !%% cadets in a /ob because an !%% cadet
