Motto

“UNITY AND DISCIPLINE”

NCC was conceived in 1917 when India Defence Act was promulgated with an object of making up the deficiencies in the Armed Forces by raising the University Corps. In 1920, with the passage of India Territorial Act, University Corps was replaced by University Training Corps. In 1942, this Corps was rechristened University Officers Training Corps. In 1946, a committee under Pandit H N Kunzru was set up, at the behest of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to formulate the establishment of an organization, capable of training and motivating the youth of the country to become better citizens and leaders in all walks of life.

Consequently, the National Cadet Corps came into being on July 16, 1948 with the promulgation of the NCC Act XXXI of 1948. NCC was placed under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

The aims of NCC:
