The Ministry of Defense announced the creation of a 15-member expert committee to perform a comprehensive review of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, industrialist Anand Mahindra, and former sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore will serve on the group, which will be chaired by former MP Baijayant Panda.
The committee will suggest steps that will enable NCC cadets to contribute more effectively to nation-building and national development efforts in different sectors.
MS Dhoni is already an honorary Lt Colonel in the Territorial Army, it's worth noting. He was also trained at the Indian Army's renowned parachute corps for over a month.
Mahindra, one of the country's most prominent entrepreneurs, has contributed to the country's defense manufacturing programs through his firm's defense vertical. A delegation of corporate leaders recently visited with Chief of Army Staff General MM Naravane, which included Mahindra Defense employees.
MP Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Jamia Millia Islamia Vice-Chancellor Professor Najma Akhtar, Vasudha Kamat Former VC, SNDT Women's University, and others are the expert committee.
