GUWAHATI: In a bid to champion the cause of women’s empowerment and foster entrepreneurial spirit among young cadets, the 48 Assam Naval Unit NCC proudly unveiled its innovative Social Service and Community Development (SSCD) initiative.

The inauguration ceremony, held on February 21, saw an impressive turnout of nearly 100 NCC girl cadets, each brimming with enthusiasm and determination.
Designed to serve as a launching pad for these aspiring entrepreneurs, the event is aimed at providing a comprehensive platform for career exploration and skill enhancement.

Distinguished representatives from esteemed organisations such as the North Eastern Handicrafts and Handloom Development Corporation (NEHHDC), the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE), ACCESS Development Services, and Sishu Sarathi graced the occasion.
Through a series of lectures and grooming sessions, the cadets will be prepared to gain a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship and women’s empowerment, setting the stage for their journey towards success.
What sets this initiative apart is its hands-on approach, with participating organisations extending invitations for field visits to their institutes in Guwahati.
