Surathkal (Mangalore): The Advance Leadership Camp (ALC), a centrally organized camp conducted by 2 KAR ENGR COY NCC, was conducted at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. This 12-day camp, from December 9 to December 20, 2024, has brought together 300 NCC cadets, including 100 girls, for a transformative experience focused on leadership development, confidence building, and personal growth. The 300 participating cadets participating are from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa and Kerala.
The camp is organized on behalf of the Director General NCC (DG NCC), NCC Directorate Karnataka & Goa, and Group Headquarters (Gp HQ) Mangalore. The camp features a diverse array of events and activities designed to enhance personality development and instil leadership qualities among the cadets.
The inauguration ceremony on 09 December featured an inspiring address by Col Viraj Kamath, Group Commander, NCC Gp HQ Mangalore, who emphasized the importance of leadership, discipline, and character in shaping the nation’s future. Camp Commandant, Col A Kaushik, in his address, urged the cadets to actively participate in the camp’s activities and to seize the opportunities to learn and grow into confident and responsible future leaders of our country.
Cadets participated in activities such as Wall Climbing, Obstacle Course training, and special talk sessions on Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Personality Development, Public Speaking, and Teamwork, conducted by Camp Commandant, Col Anilesh Kaushik and various NITK faculty members. Additionally, various cultural and sports competitions were held to foster camaraderie, team work and showcase talent.
As part of the camp, cadets also visited NITK’s state-of-the-art facilities, including the Biogas Plant (500 Kg Bio-Waste Recycling Pilot Plan) and NITK SEARCH. The Biogas Plant efficiently processes up to 500 kg of food waste daily, generating renewable energy and organic fertilizer, thus addressing waste disposal challenges on the NITK campus.
