All about NCC[National Cadet Corps]

 NCC, National Cadet Corps of India is the largest youth uniformed organization of this world. Here’s some detail on its beginnings. It can be traced back to 1917 with the passing of the Indian Defense Act of 1917.

It was called University Corp with the objective of making up for the shortage of the army. It grew and transformed into NCC on 16th April 1948 with the Passing of NCC Act by the Government of newly formed India.

The aim slowly changed to grooming the youth of the nation into more disciplined and patriotic citizens of the country.

It is a tri-service organization which provides basic military training into small arms, parades and a basic vision of the military life.

The motto of NCC, ‘Unity and Discipline’ proves to be true as NCC strives to be and is one of the greatest cohesive forces of the nation, bringing together the youth hailing from different parts of the country and molding them into united, secular and disciplined citizens of the nation.

Opportunities at NCC

Some of us since our childhood always dream of seeing themselves in those smart military uniforms laden with shiny medals. Some of us get excited at the sight of those shiny polished rifles.

They army cantonments always give pleasure and a casket beautiful feeling. Some of us always get a sense of respect and diligence whenever we see someone in uniform saluting the other. It always is a beautiful sight to look at the tricolor flag of India being hoisted high.

HISTORY OF NCC SONG

                                                                           HISTORY OF NCC SONG The desirability of composing a NCC song was considered in the Circle Commanders (now called DDGs) Conference held in January 1956 and all circles were asked to send their proposals. The official song of the NCC – “Kadam Mila Ke Chal” was adopted in 1963, and registered in 1969 with the approval of the Ministry of Defence. In 1974, it was felt that the NCC song had failed to catch the imagination of the youth, and there was a need for a change. A sustained process began; entries were invited from Directorates for suitable lyrics; 107 entries were received; of which eight were selected by a Board of Officers. However, all the eight were considered sub standard by Dr Nagendra of Delhi University, who was the ...
