"While Kupwara and Kargil have one NCC Army unit each, Udhampur has got both Air Force and Army units," said Lt Gen Singh, Director General of NCC.

The air wing, apart from drill and routine training, involves flying experience on gliders and microlites, which, sources said, might see the training of drones and remotely piloted air vehicles. A proposal is in the pipeline for inclusion of drone training in the curriculum.
