NATIONAL CADET CORPS
National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a tri-services organisation comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the youth - ‘The Leaders of Tomorrow’ into disciplined and patriotic citizens. The genesis of the NCC can be traced back to the First World War when the Britishers created the University Corps as the second line of defense and to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces. After independence the present day NCC under the Ministry of Defence came into existence on April 16, 1948 through NCC Act XXXI, 1948. NCC was formally inaugurated on July 15, 1948 as soon as the schools and colleges reopened after summer vacation. The Girls Division of the NCC was started in July 1949. In 1950 Air Wing was added on April, 1 with one Air squadron each at Bombay and Kolkata. The Naval Wing of the NCC was raised in July 1952. Its emblem has three vertical bands of red, blue and sky blue symbolising each service branch, in the middle of which its acronym ‘NCC’ place within a wreath in gold. At the bottom in a golden edged white border its motto ‘Ektha aur Anushasan’ meaning ‘Unity and Discipline’ in written in gold.
