Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an NCC rally in New Delhi on Wednesday and said he learned a lot from being a part of the National Cadet Corps.

Ahead of addressing the rally, Modi tweeted, "Will address NCC rally today (Wednesday). Mind is full of memories of my association with NCC. NCC taught me a lot."

Modi revealed at the rally, which took place at the Garrison Parade Ground in Delhi Cantonment, that Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, BJP's Delhi chief minister candidate Kiran Bedi and actor turned MP Jaya Bachchan were all NCC cadets.

"I was also an NCC cadet but was never selected to come to Delhi," he said.

"I am standing in front of a mini-India, a miniature of India's future... Our country is full of diversities, and unity in diversity is the beauty and strength of our nation. And this is what keeps inspiring us," he said.

"We are blessed that we are youthful nation. Our dreams are young, our energy is young," he added.
