This significant event aimed to identify and select promising 4 NSS cadets for further training and potential representation in the prestigious Republic Day Parade at Rajpath, New Delhi.

This was followed by an endurance test, comprising a 400-meter run for girls and an 800-meter run for boys.

Drill being a fundamental aspect of cadet training, DGI students demonstrated remarkable precision, synchronization, and team spirit. Their performance reflected the values of discipline and dedication deeply rooted in the NSS ethos.
In addition to physical and drill evaluations, the camp also featured cultural assessments to gauge the creative and expressive talents of the cadets. Participants enthusiastically took part in poetry recitations, dance performances, and speech presentations.
The Pre-RD Selection Camp at CCS University proved to be a transformative experience for all involved. Through a well-rounded selection process encompassing physical, parade, and cultural evaluations, the cadets imbibed essential values of leadership, resilience, unity, and national pride.
The participation of NSS cadets from DGI in this prestigious camp was a testament to their dedication towards national service and their aspiration to represent the institution and the nation at the grand Republic Day Parade.
