About National Cadet Corps (NCC)
National Cadet Corps is a Tri-Services Organization comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the youth – ‘The Leaders of Tomorrow’ – into disciplined and patriotic citizens. National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a premier youth organisation which functions directly under the Ministry of Defence. It functions at a National level to train the young boys and girls to be better citizens and future leaders of our country.
Inception & Growth of NCC
The NCC has its genesis in the University Corps (UC) which was created under the Indian Defence Act, 1917, with the objective of making up the shortages in the Army. In 1920, when the Indian Territorial Act was passed, the University Corps was replaced by the University Training Corps (UTC). In 1942, the UTC was renamed as the University Officers’ Training Corps (UOTC). A Committee under Pandit H N Kunzru was set up in 1946 at the behest of the first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The recommendations of this Committee paved the way for the formation of NCC. Thus, the National Cadet Corps (NCC) came into existence on 15 July 1948 under the National Cadet Corps Act (No.XXXI of 1948) enacted by the Parliament.
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.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 keen interest in the growth of the NCC. Presently, NCC has approximately 13 Lakhs Cadets under its fold.

VARIOUS CAMPS OF NCC
Camp training constitutes the most important part of NCC training. Every cadet in the NCC is expected to attend at least two camps during one’s tenure to complete the Training Syllabi. In Camps, the young cadets get the thrill and joy of outdoor and community living as they are made to live under canvas/camp conditions and also follow a rugged but interesting routine. Camps also help in developing camaraderie, team-work, leadership qualities, self-confidence, self-reliance and dignity of labour among cadets. This contributes greatly towards promoting national integration. The various camps conducted by the NCC are as follows:-
Annual Training Camps (ATC)
This Camp is conducted at battalion level to impart practical training in weapons, map reading, communications and firing. The emphasis is given on community living. Through these camps cadet get an opportunity to develop and expose their hidden qualities. Maximum number of cadets are included in these camps and cadet’s potential is identified for the forthcoming Thal Sainik Camp and Republic Day Camp.
National Integration Camps (NIC)
These camps are conducted on an all India basis and help bridge the cultural gap among various states of India. 37 such camps are conducted every year. Our country being vast is varied in culture, customs and traditions which is a matter of pride to all. To acquaint the cadets with such diversity, selected cadets from every directorate participate in these camps. Cadets get an opportunity to learn the culture and language of different states. In addition, we conduct NICs at remote and forward areas to promote national integration. Special NICs are being conducted regularly at Leh, Srinagar, North Eastern Region and at Port Blair.
