NATIONAL CADET CORPS (NCC)

The Indian Parliament passed the National Cadet Corps Act in 1948, thus creating the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in our country.

AIMS OF NCC

• To develop character, comradeship, discipline, leadership, secular outlook, spirit of adventure and the ideals of selfless service amongst the youth of the country.
• To create a human resource of organized, trained and motivated youth, to provide leadership in all walks of life and always available for the service of the nation.
• To provide a suitable environment to motivate the youth to take up a career in the Armed Forces.

MOTTO

The motto of NCC is “Unity and Discipline”. ‘Unity’ implies our basic oneness, the brotherhood of all the Indian people regardless of their caste, colour or creed. Likewise, ‘Discipline’ is the very bedrock on which any nation is founded. It is for these reasons this has been adopted as motto of the NCC.
