NCC | NDUAT-NARENDRA DEVA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY

With an aim for raising a second line of defence and to create a large pool of trained youth available for Armed Forces during the First World War, University Corps was conceptualized by the British Government. National Cadet Corps (NCC), came into existence, on 15 July 1948 under an Act of Parliament. Over the years, NCC has spread its activities and values, across the length and breadth of the country; in schools and colleges, in almost all the districts of India. It has attracted millions of young boys and girls, to the very ethos espoused by its motto, "unity and discipline" and molded them into disciplined and responsible citizens of the country. NCC has attained an enviable brand value for itself, in the Young India's mind space. Today, the NCC has an enrolled strength of more than 13.5 Lakhs cadets and it basically comprises of two divisions of all the three Services i.e., the Senior Division/ Senior Wing for boys / girls from colleges and the Junior Division/Junior Wing for boys /girls from schools.
