The Odisha National Cadet Corps (NCC) contingent is set to represent the state at the Republic Day Camp (RDC) 2025 in New Delhi.

These outstanding young leaders have undergone an intense 30-day training program, designed to ensure their readiness for competitive events such as drill, cultural presentations, and other key activities at the national stage.
The Odisha contingent will not only represent the state's excellence in NCC but also showcase the rich cultural heritage and ethos of Odisha, reflecting its diversity and vibrant traditions. These cadets will participate in several prestigious events, including the Prime Minister's Rally and cultural competitions, making Odisha proud on the national platform.
