The selected cadets, Saksham Sharma and Amod Kumar Singh, both B.Tech students, will represent India in the UK and Peru as part of official NCC youth delegations.
Prestigious International Initiative
The Youth Exchange Programme is among the most prestigious international initiatives of the NCC, providing outstanding cadets an opportunity to serve as youth ambassadors of India. Through cultural interactions, leadership engagements, educational visits, and international collaborations, the programme strengthens mutual understanding and friendship among participating nations while giving cadets invaluable global exposure.
Selection and Recognition
Emerging from this highly competitive process, LPU's NCC cadets Saksham Sharma and Amod Kumar Singh secured their places in the YEP 2026 delegations to Peru and the United Kingdom, respectively. Congratulating the cadets, Col. Dr. Rashmi Mittal, Pro Chancellor of LPU, stated, "When young individuals step beyond their comfort zones and commit themselves to continuous growth, they become capable of representing not just an institution but an entire nation with distinction."
Rigorous Training Camp
