NCC/NSS/IIC - NCC
NCC: AT A GLANCE
The NCC, started in 1948, with 20000 cadets, today is the largest uniformed youth organisation in the world with more than 14.5 lakh cadets. With Headquarters (HQs) at New Delhi, NCC, a tri-service organisation under the Ministry of Defence, today has 17 State Directorates, 98 Group HQs and 825 NCC Units from Army, Air Force and Naval Wings.
Origin of NCC 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. In 1920, when the Indian Territorial Act was passed, the “University Corps” was replaced by the University Training Corps (UTC).
In 1948, the Girls Division was raised in order to give equal opportunities to school and college going girls. The NCC was given an inter-service image in 1950 when the Air Wing was added, followed by the Naval Wing in 1952. In the same year, the NCC curriculum was extended to include community development/social service activities as a part of the NCC syllabus.
The NCC aims at developing character, comradeship, discipline, a secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens. Further, it aims at creating a pool of organized, trained and motivated youth with leadership qualities in all walks of life, who will serve the Nation regardless of which career they choose. Needless to say, the NCC also provides an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to join the armed forces.
Students from Schools and Colleges, join NCC on volunteer basis as Junior cadets for two years and as Senior cadets for three years. Cadets in NCC are exposed to training on Service subjects, Social Service & Community Development, Disaster Management, Attachment training with Army/Air Force/Navy, Sports and Adventure activities. At the culmination of institutional and camp training, successful Junior cadets are awarded 'A' certificate and Senior cadets are awarded 'B'/ 'C' certificate.
“Unity and Discipline” was taken as the motto of NCC in the 12th CAC meeting held on 12 Oct 1980.
