He was addressing the inaugural function of a ten-day seminar-cum-workshop of associate NCC officers (ANOs) at law faculty in BHU on Sunday. NCC Group ‘A’ of BHU has organised the ten-day training programme.

Prof. Lele said that the training of NCC inculcate a sense of discipline and thus leads one to the path of progress and development.

He also highlighted the role of NCC in the development of the country. He said that formal education along with training of NCC could extract the hidden qualities of students.
