NCC

National Cadet Corps

• The Indian military cadet corps with its
Headquarters at New Delhi.
• It is open to school and college students on
voluntary basis.
• National Cadet Corps is a Tri-Services
Organization, comprising the Army, Navy and Air
Force, engaged in grooming the youth of the
country into disciplined and patriotic citizens.
NCC IN INDIA
• The National Cadet Corps in India is a
voluntary organization which recruits
cadets from high schools, colleges
and Universities all over India.
• 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.
 HISTORY

• The NCC in India was formed with the National

Cadet Corps Act of 1948.
• It was raised on 15 July 1948.
 HISTORY…

• In 1949, 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.
 HISTORY…

• During Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 & Indo-Pakistani

war of 1971, NCC cadets were second line of
defense. They organized camp to assist ordnance
factories, supplying arms and ammunition to the
front and also were used as patrol parties to
capture enemy paratroopers. The NCC cadets also
worked hand in hand with the Civil defense
authorities and actively took part in rescue works
and traffic control.
• After 1965 and 1971 wars NCC syllabus was
revised. Rather than just being second line of
defense, NCC syllabus laid greater stress on
developing quality of leadership and officer like
qualities. The military training which the NCC
cadets received was reduced and greater
importance was given to other areas like social
service and youth management.
