Exploring The Role Of NCC In Fostering HR Potential Among Tribal Youth: A Comparative Study Of NCC Cadets In Himachal Pradesh And Jharkhand
Abstract
This comparative study delves into the pivotal role of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in nurturing human resource potential among tribal youth. The choice of Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand as contrasting landscapes adds depth to the study. These states represent diverse terrains, climates, and cultural backgrounds, which can significantly influence the experiences and perceptions of NCC participants. Holistic Development: The emphasis on holistic development implies a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of NCC involvement. This could encompass physical fitness, mental resilience, interpersonal skills, and civic responsibility, among other aspects. Leadership Skills: Investigating the development of leadership skills is crucial, as the NCC is often seen as a platform that fosters qualities like teamwork, decision-making, and communication. Understanding how these skills manifest in tribal youth from Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand can shed light on the program's effectiveness in diverse settings. Discipline: Discipline is a key aspect of military training, and studying its impact on tribal youth can provide insights into how NCC participation instills a sense of order and responsibility. It would be interesting to explore whether the cultural context influences the acceptance and application of discipline among cadets. Community Engagement: Community engagement is a significant component, and evaluating how NCC activities contribute to community development in tribal areas is valuable. This could include initiatives such as social outreach, awareness campaigns, or collaborative projects that positively impact local communities. Unique Contributions in Tribal Context: Acknowledging the unique contributions of the NCC in shaping the future of tribal youth implies understanding how the program aligns with and addresses the specific needs and challenges faced by tribal communities in Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand.
