NCC

The National Cadets Corps (NCC) has their head quarters at New Delhi. The cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades. The officers and cadets have no liability for active military service once they complete their course but are given preference over normal candidates during selections based on the achievements in the corps. It is a voluntary organisation which recruits cadets from schools, colleges and universities all over India.

The NCC (National Cadets Corps) is the biggest youth organization in India, It was formed under the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948. It was raised on 15^th July, 1948. It can be traced back to the “University Corps“, which was created under the Indian Defence Act 1917, with the objective to make-up for the shortage in the Army. The officers and cadets dressed like the army. It was a significant step towards the Indianisation of armed forces.

The National Cadets Corps can be considered as a successor of the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) which was established in 1942, during World War II. A committee headed by Pandit H N Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and colleges which could train more young men in a better way at a nation al level. It was accepted by the Governor General and on 15^th July, 1948 the National Cadet Corps came into existence.

The motto of NCC is “Unity and Discipline”(Ekta aur Anushasan).

It stands on four Cardinal Principals of Discipline:-

 1.Obey with a smile
