National Cadet Corps (NCC)

The National Cadet Corps is the Indian military cadet corps with its Head Quarters at New Delhi. The National Cadet Corps (NCC) Act was passed in 1948. It is open to school and college students on voluntary basis. 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.

The NCC has three wings: Army, Air and Navy. Different Cadets are trained in different wings. Cadets, joining Air and Navy wings are given specialized training. Those who want to join the NCC have to go in for a medical examination. They must be physically fit. They have to attend the Annual Training Camp also. NCC makes the youth of the country disciplined, dutiful, and physically fit. They learn how to obey and command. Thus, they become very helpful in building the nation on a strong basis.
