"This is the first time that a motivational park has been inaugurated in Jammu and Kashmir region and in the park there are many cadet statues placed which includes the statues of Naval force, Air Force and Army. Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh region cadets are invited for this event and we interact with all of them to get an understanding of their culture and this will give a boost to national integration," said NCC Cadet, Saleh Qadri.
