Nagpur, 1 May 2026

During his review-cum-inspection visit to Nagpur on 01 May 2026, Maj Gen Vivek Tyagi, Additional Director General, NCC Maharashtra Directorate, paid a courtesy call on Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways. The interaction focused on expanding NCC’s footprint in remote regions of Vidarbha, including Gadchiroli and Chandrapur.

Maj Gen Tyagi extended Maharashtra Day greetings and highlighted NCC cadets’ contributions to community development and national campaigns such as road safety awareness, anti-drug drives, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat. He also sought support for strengthening infrastructure in Nagpur, Mumbai, and Kolhapur, including a proposed State Academy at Nagpur.

He flagged challenges in advancing drone and cyber training for Vidarbha cadets and requested training support for the NCC Naval Unit at Futala Lake. Nagpur’s NCC Group, comprising all three wings and specialised riding training through the RVC Unit, requires urgent upgrades to sustain training and adventure activities.

The Hon’ble Minister appreciated NCC’s role in youth empowerment and assured support for infrastructure development, expansion, women’s empowerment, and corporate partnerships, advising that detailed proposals be submitted for action.

The meeting was attended by Group Captain Kushal Vyas and Lt Col Ameay Kanade. Earlier, the ADG visited Officers Training Academy (OTA), NCC, Kamptee, and reviewed training activities.
