On the occasion of Youth Day, observed on 12.01.2024, the NCC cadets of Arasu Engineering College, under the 8 (TN) BN NCC, Kumbakonam, participated in a Skill Development Program hosted by Annai College of Arts and Science, Kumbakonam. This inter-institutional event aimed to cultivate leadership qualities and essential soft skills among the youth, commemorating the legacy of Swami Vivekananda. A total of 35 cadets from our institution actively took part in various sessions including communication skills, teamwork, and critical thinking exercises. The event provided an engaging and inspiring platform for selfdevelopment.

The sessions were conducted by experienced facilitators and included interactive tasks, motivational speeches, and group activities that encouraged cadets to collaborate and lead. Participation in this external event not only broadened the cadets’ exposure but also strengthened their commitment to personal and national development. The initiative emphasized the core NCC principles of Unity and Discipline, encouraging cadets to emerge as responsible and capable youth leaders. The program was well-received, and the college management appreciated the cadets’ involvement and representation of Arasu Engineering College.
