Rajya-Mukhyamantri Swarn-Rajat Padak Protsahan Puraskar - Introduction
Rajya/Mukhyamantri Swarn/Rajat Padak Protsahan Puraskar, run by the Department of Education, government of Uttarakhand, aims to promote excellence in National Cadet Corps (NCC) training by rewarding high performing cadets. The scheme supports young talent by recognising those who win gold or silver medals during prestigious camps like the Republic Day Camp (RDC), Thal Sainik Camp (TSC), Vayu Sena Camp (VSC) or Nau Sainik Camp (NSC). The NCC Group Headquarters manages the selection process to make sure that deserving cadets receive these cash prizes.
Every training year, a fixed number of cadets are selected for the award.

The whole process is handled through the NCC units and the Directorate, and there is no direct online application for individual cadets.
