The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is the youth wing of the Indian Armed Forces with its headquarters in New Delhi, India.

It is open to school and college students on voluntary basis as a Tri-Services Organisation, comprising the Army, the Navy and the Air Force.

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.

The first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru presided over the function of raising the first NCC Unit at Delhi on the last Sunday of Nov. 1948.

A committee headed by H. N. Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and universities at a national level.

Following the 1962 Sino-Indian War, to meet the requirement of the Nation, NCC training was made compulsory in 1963.

They organized camps to assist ordnance factories, supplying arms and ammunition to the front and also were used as patrol parties to capture enemy paratroopers.

The military training which the NCC cadets received was reduced and greater importance was given to social service and youth management.

The discussion for the motto of NCC was started in 11th central advisory meeting (CAC) held on 11 August 1978.

The DG is assisted by two Additional Director Generals (A and B) of two-star rank (major-general, rear-admiral or air vice-marshal).

JD boys and JW girls are given ranks up to Company Sergeant Major (CSM) in the Army Wing.

Regular NCC (Army Wing) units are commanded by officers of the rank of Colonel (selection grade); independent NCC Units (Army) are commanded by service officer of the rank of colonel (TS)/lieutenant colonel/major or equivalent.

As a matter of fact, ANO is the feeder node of NCC since they are the one who is in direct contact with the cadets all throughout the year.

Cadets from SD boys Army wing wear khaki full sleeve shirts and trousers.

Girls from Naval wing SW and JW wear white half sleeve shirts and trousers.

In addition to these uniforms, SW and JW cadets wear white Shalwar kameezes during activities other than when on parade.

Every cadet of the Senior and Junior Division has undergo service training for a minimum period of 75% of total hours during the annual college and school session.

They are taught certain skills pertaining specifically to their Wing for e.g., a Naval cadet is trained in boat-rowing, oaring, Semaphore, etc.

Those caught sleeping, especially during late night or early morning shifts, or otherwise missing from duty are severely reprimanded or penalized.

In addition, there are six special EBSB campings conducted at Leh, Nagrota (J&K), Chakabama (NER, Nagaland), Srinagar, Lakshadweep and Port Blair.

The AIVSC is the apex training camp of NCC and is designed to expose the cadets to a strenuous military way of life, in addition to rousing their competitive spirits by pitting them against their peers in a number of aviation-related disciplines such as Microlight Flying, Aero Modelling, Skeet Shooting, .22 Rifle Firing, Drill and written tests of various subjects related to flying.

Apart from these events one day was decided to give A visit to Air Force Station, Jodhpur where cadets see and learn how various fighter planes and helicopters works, Luckily cadets also got opportunity to fly in an Indian Air Force Mi-17 helicopter and Pipistrel microlight aircraft and also got chance to visit glorious places of interest in and around Jodhpur.

The camp is visited by a number of dignitaries, including DDG and many other army and air force officials.

NSC is one of the golden camps of NCC, its part of naval wing and conducted under the Indian navy.

Boat pulling, semaphore, whaler rigging, firing, drill competitions are the main attraction of the camp.

During sea training naval subjects like Seamanship, Navigation, Communication, Gunnery, Damage Control and Ship Safety are taught to cadets.

Gliding, Microlite Flying (generally the Zenith STOL CH 701) and attachment training with air force stations and establishments are the main activities.
