Preparation leading to NSmen In-Camp Training
Lead Trainer CRTU
To our NSmen:
1. Safety is of paramount importance, and we take the well-being of our servicemen very seriously. As we know, ICT is expected to be more strenuous as compared to what most of you go through daily.
2. Due to the higher than normal intensity expected during your ICT, all NSmen should be reasonably conditioned. All NSmen should suitably acclimatize themselves, and adopt a ~45mins daily, honour-based, self regulated physical regime, at least 4 days leading up to the ICT.
3. Internally, within CRTU we have also structured the program to be progressive. Safety checks, proper work-rest cycle and hydration regime will also be put in place.
4. We look forward to a safer ICT and it all starts with the correct safety attitude. Be safe, and thanks for serving!

Therefore uniformity, correctness and smartness on all occasions are essential in projecting the desired public image.
