National Cadet Corps is a Tri-Services Organization comprising the Army, Navy, and Air Force, engaged in
grooming the youth – ‘The Leaders of Tomorrow’ – into disciplined and patriotic citizens. The genesis of the
NCC can be traced back to the First World War when the Britishers created the University Corps as the second
line of defense and to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces.
After independence, the present day NCC under the Ministry of Defence came into existence on 16 Apr 1948
through NCC act XXXI, 1948. NCC was formally inaugurated on 15 Jul 1948 as soon as the schools and colleges
reopened after summer vacation. The Girls Division of the NCC was started in Jul 1949. In 1950 Air Wing was
added on 01 Apr with one Air squadron each at Bombay and Kolkata. The Naval Wing of the NCC was raised in
Jul 1952, thus completing the true representation of all services in the Corps. Presently, NCC has
approximately 13 Lakhs Cadets under its fold.
Aim of N.C.C.
To develop qualities of Character, Courage, Comradeship, Discipline, Leadership, Secular Outlook, Spirit of
Adventure, and the ideals of Selfless Service amongst the Youth of the Country.
Training Activities
Based on the aims of the NCC, the Organisation has laid down Training Syllabi for the cadets. The syllabi
for the Junior Division Cadets covers a period of two years and for Senior Division it is three years.
