NCC

Raising Ceremony of NCC

With an aim for raising a second line of defence and to create a large pool of trained youth available for Armed Forces during the First World War, University Corps was conceptualized by the British Government. National Cadet Corps (NCC), came into existence, on 15 July 1948 under an Act of Parliament. Over the years, NCC has spread its activities and values, across the length and breadth of the country; in schools and colleges, in almost all the districts of India. It has attracted millions of young boys and girls, to the very ethos espoused by its motto, "unity and discipline" and molded them into disciplined and responsible citizens of the country. NCC has attained an enviable brand value for itself, in the Young India's mind space. Today, the NCC has an enrolled strength of more than 13.5 Lakhs cadets and it basically comprises of two divisions of all the three Services i.e., the Senior Division/ Senior Wing for boys / girls from colleges and the Junior Division/Junior Wing for boys /girls from schools.

National Cadet Corps (NCC), aims at character building and leadership, in all walks of life and promotes the spirit of patriotism and National Integration amongst the youth of the country. Towards this end, it runs a multifaceted training; varied in content, style and processes, with added emphasis on practical training, outdoor training and training as a community.

The aims of NCC are mainly three-fold:-

(i) Character. (ii) Comradeship. (iii) Discipline. (iv) Secular Outlook. (v) Spirit of Adventure. (vi) Ideals of selfless service.

To develop following qualities in the cadets:-
To create a human resource of organized, trained and motivated youth, to provide leadership in all walks of life who will serve the nation regardless of which career they choose.
To provide an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to choose the Armed Forces as a career.

Apart from training and preparing the youth for future challenges in NCC, cadets are given various benefits in terms of job opportunities, scholarships and financial aid in time of any tragedy while doing any NCC related activities. These incentives are announced from time to time both by the Central and State Governments. These incentives are in the field of employment as well as academics and personal including medals, trophies, cash award etc. The best incentive being the vacancy reserved for 'C' certificate holder cadets for the commission as officers in the Armed Forces.
