Revive National Cadet Corps (NCC) into National Digital Cadet Corps (NDCC)

Published

National defense is the top-level priority for every state. It is a matter of high concern. National defense is the primary goal and it cost a handsome amount of human resource and economical part. National defense is mainly associated with the Armed forces and they serve the nation with all their power.

Whereas personal defense is also highly important. Every individual should be capable of his/her defense. So that individuals can act upon in alarming situations. Otherwise, it is common that people lose their consciousness in threatening situations. Therefore, self-defense training is of equal importance as that of national defense.

However, Pakistan’s National Cadet Corps (NCC) has been working in this domain since 1948. It has remained a branch of the Pakistan Army as a program run under the Pakistan National Guard. This department has been training high school and college students for self-defense. They trained them regarding the use of weapons and different defending actions. But unfortunately, that alluring opportunity has been abolished by President Musharraf back in 2002. Since that the training of NCC has not been materialized.

The passage of time has changed the concept of everything. It has hybrid the nature of threat because of the infusion of technological advancement especially that of social media. Technology has introduced the world to the fifth-generation war that is more harmful and devastating. Because it attacks the minds, ideologies, cultures, and norms, etc. There are no boundaries to this digital war. And every individual who uses digital media is prone to its negative impacts. It is more harmful and engaging than all the other warfare generations.

Therefore National Cadet Corps (NCC) need to be revived with the addition of digitally countering training as the National Digital Cadet Corps (NDCC).  And this should be a must part for every citizen so that they would be able to defend themselves from both physical and mental threats to counter fifth-generation warfare. 

The government needs to consider it on a serious note because it is the need of today’s world. One cannot eradicate the notion of the uprising fifth-generation or technological war but it can be dealt with with proper training and awareness. This threat is not limited to Pakistan but to the world who is unable to deal with it properly. But Pakistani youths are more vulnerable to the aspects of social media war. Therefore, the revival of NCC with NDCC can work out in this domain.

This achievement reflects Pakistan’s growing strength in science, technology, and national capability, proving that the country is steadily advancing in modern space development.

The PRSE-EO2 satellite is designed to support Pakistan in multiple critical areas, including earth observation, mapping, environmental monitoring, and national development planning. With this satellite in space, Pakistan will be able to improve its ability to collect accurate data for agriculture, water management, urban planning, disaster monitoring, and climate-related challenges.

This success is a strong reminder that space technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity for nations that want to grow in the modern world. Satellites play an important role in helping countries manage their resources, respond to natural disasters, and strengthen national security through better monitoring and planning.

The successful launch of PRSE-EO2 also sends a positive message to Pakistan’s youth. It shows that Pakistan has the talent and potential to compete in advanced fields such as aerospace engineering, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence-driven systems. Such achievements inspire young minds to pursue careers in science and innovation, strengthening the country’s future.

Pakistan’s progress in space technology is not only a matter of national pride but also a strategic step toward long-term development. As the world becomes more data-driven, satellite-based information will be a powerful tool for smarter governance and faster progress.

Kashmir Day: A Voice for Dignity, Peace, and Justice

Published

Every year on 5th February, Pakistan observes Kashmir Day to express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. For many, it is a national tradition. But for those who understand the human reality behind the issue, it is far more than that. Kashmir Day is a reminder that millions of people still live with uncertainty, restrictions, and a future that remains unresolved.

As AikQaum, we believe Kashmir is not simply a political dispute. It is a human story. Behind every news report are families, children, students, and ordinary people who want what every human being wants: safety, dignity, and a peaceful life. Kashmir Day matters because silence does not reduce suffering. When the world stops speaking about Kashmir, the pain does not disappear—it only becomes less visible.

For Pakistan, Kashmir is an emotional and moral responsibility. It is tied to shared history, shared identity, and a deep sense of connection. But this responsibility must be carried with wisdom. Support for Kashmir should not be expressed through hatred or extreme language. It should be expressed through dignity, truth, and consistent advocacy based on human rights and international principles.

In today’s world, the Kashmir issue is also a battle of narratives. Misinformation spreads quickly, and emotional reactions often replace facts. This is where Pakistan’s youth have a powerful role. Young Pakistanis can support Kashmir by sharing verified information, raising awareness responsibly, and keeping the conversation alive in a way that the world can respect. A cause becomes stronger when it is represented with discipline and humanity.

Kashmir Day also reminds Pakistan of the importance of unity. A divided nation cannot carry a moral cause effectively. If Pakistan wants the world to listen, Pakistan must first stand together. Unity is not only a national value—it is a strategic necessity.

To the people of Kashmir, AikQaum’s message is clear: you are not forgotten. Your voices matter. Your courage is respected. Your future is important. Pakistan’s solidarity is not limited to one day; it is a long-term commitment rooted in conscience and shared humanity.

Kashmir Day is ultimately a day of conscience. It is a reminder that justice must be pursued with patience, wisdom, and peace. At AikQaum, we stand with Kashmir—firmly, respectfully, and with the belief that no people should remain unheard forever.
