Youth should be akin to ‘Abhimanyu’ to penetrate ‘Chakravyuh’ – Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh observed about the importance of devising not just Plan-A, but also Plan-B, and, if needed, Plan-C in life, because when there’s only Plan-A and it doesn’t seem to work, it leads to fear and despair, but with Plan B and Plan C in place, things are brought under control.

As the nation will celebrate its 77th Republic Day on 26th January, Rajnath Singh stated that the day is a reminder to strengthen the country’s resolve towards democracy and constitutional values. “The Constitution is not just text, but means to bolster our social, political, cultural, and other rights & duties. We should move towards becoming the kind of people our Constitution wants us to be. We must understand our Constitution, and fulfil the duties and rights bestowed upon us. Our NCC cadets can play the role of flag bearers in this entire campaign,” he said.
As part of the event, an ‘Investiture Ceremony’ was held, wherein the cadets were awarded with the Raksha Mantri Padak and Commendation Cards by Rajnath Singh for their outstanding performance & dedication to duty.
