In West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) was charged for “ruining the institutions and wrecking the careers of the young,” according to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday. The National Cadet Corps (NCC) in West Bengal is experiencing difficulties as a result of Mamata Banerjee’s administration ‘refusing to transfer cash,’ according to Amit Malviya, who oversees the saffron party’s information and technology department.
A letter from Major General US Sengupta, Additional Directorate General (ADG) of West Bengal and Sikkim, NCC, to the Ministry of Defence was included in the tweet. The two-page letter from the Directorate of West Bengal and Sikkim stated that the budget allocation has remained the same despite arduous efforts and correspondence at various levels, including liaison with the state’s finance secretary and personal presentation of the issue to the defence secretary by the Directorate General (DG).
“As of date, we are unable to train the already enrolled cadets. In view of the above, as recommended vide our letter and as per the discussion held with DG, NCC on 27 Sept 22, enrollment of cadets in the trg years is being ceased till additional funds as projected by the Dte to the State government are made available,” read the letter.
“This is a serious issue. Cadets aspire to appear for their ‘B’ and ‘C’ Certificate examinations and get good scores as it helps them in joining the Indian Armed Forces as officers. Those who have high scores in the ‘B’ and ‘C’ Certificate examinations (both) and graduate with more than 55 per cent marks do not need to sit for the written test for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination. They directly appear for the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview. This is a great advantage,” said Maj Dr B B Singh, PRO, NCC, West Bengal.
