Empowering Mewar's Youth: A Journey of Mentorship and Success
"It all began nine years ago
when I superannuated. I made a conscious decision to decline re-employment and
resisted the temptation of a second stint in the corporate world. My reasons
were deeply personal. Having served as the Group Commander of NCC Group
Udaipur, in my last posting, I was reluctant to leave Udaipur again. This
marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life."
"During my tenure as Group
Commander, I noticed that very few NCC cadets from Rajasthan Directorate were
able to clear the NCC special entry. I took it upon myself to mentor and groom
young aspirants from the Mewar region. Initially, a few students approached me,
and soon, a customized coaching program was developed.
Interacting with the cadets
revealed that traditional 14-day coaching capsules offered by professional
academies wouldn't suffice. These students, hailing from humble backgrounds,
required extended practice sessions to enhance their communication skills,
English language proficiency, and confidence.
To address this, I evolved a
module offering unlimited coaching days, tailored to each student's
availability and SSB schedules. This approach has yielded impressive results:
- 285 students enrolled and
completed the course over the past 9 years.
- 104 students achieved success
at SSB, representing a 36% success rate.
- 46 students have been
commissioned, 14 are undergoing training, and 10 are awaiting induction into
various training academies.
- 17 students are wards of
defense personnel.
- In service entry, 8 students
were recommended, with 3 commissioned, 2 as SCO, and 1 through ACC. 5 are
currently training at ACC.
Notably, many students who didn't
clear SSB have been successfully placed in other organizations. This initiative
represents my humble effort to give back to society by empowering Mewar's
youth." A decade of dedication.
