cadets takeup a village and work to improve the conditions there. There could be

B. The conduct of national integration camps which converses cadets from all

over India at a place sets an example to be emulated by all. The conduct of such

camps makes them tolerant and open minded and inculcates brotherhood and

respect for other religions.

of 'ational Integration to the people. In times of any natural calamity, the service

of the cadets is called for. They come together in large numbers and help the ailing

people irrespective of their communal differences.

etched in their minds "Cnited we stand, divided we fall.# These future leaders

have already began their task of moulding the nation so that they can call our

country a "!rogressive nation# when they come to power.
