National Cadet Corps - (NCC)

Overview

NCC (National Cadet Corps) was formed in 1948, in India. 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 a shortage of personnel in the Army.
In 1949, the Girls Division was formed in order to provide 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 at the behest of Late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who took a keen interest in the growth of the NCC.
National Cadet Corps is an organization under the Ministry of Defense, Government of India. The main objective of this institute is to provide military education and training to school and college boys to develop their personality, sense of duty, discipline, professional skills, and patriotic fervor.
NCC has a great contribution to nation-building activities like crime prevention, social integration, etc.
