About NCC

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a voluntary youth organization in India that recruits cadets from schools, colleges, and universities. Established on 15 July 1948, under the National Cadet Corps Act, it aimed to provide more effective training. While initially focused on military skills, the NCC has evolved to emphasize leadership development, social responsibility, and youth management. Today, the NCC offers cadets a well-rounded experience that prepares them to become responsible, active members of society, contributing to the nation even in peacetime.

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a voluntary youth organization that recruits cadets from high schools, colleges, and universities across India. Formed under the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948, the NCC aims to instill the values of leadership, discipline, and social responsibility in young people. Established on 15 July 1948, the NCC succeeded the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC), which was originally founded by the British in 1942. During World War II, the UOTC did not meet the British expectations, which led to the formation of the NCC as a superior alternative to train young men not only in military skills but also in leadership and social service, even during peacetime.

Initially focused on military training, the NCC program has since evolved to emphasize the development of leadership qualities, social service, and youth management. Today, it offers cadets a well-rounded experience that prepares them to contribute meaningfully to society.
