“Every citizen of this country is a soldier who must look after the country’s interests, safety and security. Whether we wear this uniform or not, just remember the motto of unity and discipline all your life. Be one, be united. Don’t divide yourself in different groups. That is being from North and South, are all one. Just remember that we have to be one,” AP Singh said.
He further said that emphasised on the fact that NCC Republic Day Camp gives the cadets an opportunity to interact amongst all from different cultures, religions and regions and thus strengthens the ‘Unity in Diversity’ spirit of India.

The rules says when we saw a red light we must stop. Just remember this whatever values that your parents have given and whatever teachings NCC is teaching you. It is our duty to correct somebody who is going on the wrong path even if it is a majority. Thousand lies don’t make a truth. That is the way we should live,” AP Singh said.
