Aims of NCC

The ‘Aims’ of the NCC, laid out in 1988, have stood the test of time and continue to meet the requirements expected of it in the current socio–economic scenario of the country. The NCC aims at developing character, comradeship, discipline, a secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens. Further, it aims at creating a pool of organized, trained and motivated youth with leadership qualities in all walks of life, who will serve the Nation regardless of which career they choose. Needless to say, the NCC also provides an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to join the armed forces.

NCC (National Cadet Corps) also offers various social activities that play a vital role in the overall development of cadets. Some of these activities include Community Services, Cultural Events, Adventure Activities, Social Welfare Programs. By participating in these social activities, NCC cadets become well-rounded individuals, prepared to serve the nation and make a positive impact in their communities.
