00:00I am the officer-in-charge of this cycling expedition.
00:03We have a total of 12 cadets, 6 girls cadets and 6 boys,
00:07and a total of 15 cyclists, including me.
00:10I am the officer-in-charge of this cycling expedition,
00:13Colonel Somvir Dabas.
00:14I am heading this expedition.
00:16We started from Hussainwala on 7th of Jan,
00:19and now through Punjab, Haryana.
00:22We started on 7th January.
00:24Our ADG sir, who resides in Chandigarh,
00:27he flagged it off there.
00:30And there, we have a very sacred place,
00:34for which our Bhagat Singh, Gurudev,
00:39and Sukhdev have made a mark.
00:43We started from there.
00:45That is the most sacred place.
00:47Because before independence, our martyrs,
00:49because of whom we got freedom from the British,
00:52and after independence, our Pramveer Chakras,
00:55all of them, as a cycle rally,
00:58through our cadets, we are remembering,
01:00saluting, and paying our respects,
01:03that we want such great warriors,
01:06our future generation, present generation,
01:09everyone should remember,
01:10that the freedom that we have got,
01:12how our brothers have martyred for it.
01:16We started our training,
01:20we selected them first.
01:22Our Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, and Chandigarh,
01:26we called the kids from all of them.
01:28Around 60 kids came.
01:30We selected 12 kids from them.
01:31After that, they were given training in NCC Academy Ropar,
01:34for 10 days.
01:36And after that, a team was formed,
01:38so that we could easily cover this 700 km journey.
01:42Because today, you can see, it is so foggy,
01:44sometimes it rains.
01:47The climate is extreme, in the entire North India.
01:50Life is very tough,
01:52and our cadets, if they can do it,
01:54then our youth can do it.
01:56But this should become a source of inspiration for everyone.
01:59Our NCC cadets, who are 14 lakh,
02:02through them, through their medium,
02:04we, the entire NCC,
02:06want our youth, who are in schools and colleges,
02:09to understand,
02:10and join our defence forces.
02:13And for the safety of our country,
02:15only when they are young,
02:16can we be safe.
