It has to be noted that Dhoni holds the Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army. He also underwent training with the Army. The rank was awarded to Dhoni following his heroics in the 2011 50 over World Cup.

The special panel will be led by former lawmaker Baijayant Panda.

The Defence Ministry had constituted the new panel to focus on strengthening the NCC cadets. The members of the panel will come up with measures so that the cadets can be empowered that enable the building of the nation.

The newly constituted panel will also focus on making the engagement of the National Cadet Corps(NCC) cadets better by bringing new practices into the Indian Armed Forces’ Youth Wing. The same measures will be added to the schedule of the NCC.
