National Cadet Corps (NCC)

NCC, which stands for National Cadet Corps, was formed in India in 1948 as a voluntary organisation which recruits cadets from high schools, colleges and universities all over India. The cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades. In living up to its motto, ‘Unity and Discipline’, NCC strives to be and is one of the most significant cohesive forces of the nation, bringing together the youth hailing from different parts of the country and moulding them into responsible and courageous citizens of the nation. Hindu College, University of Delhi, Delhi, has steered the Naval Wing of NCC since 2004, under 1 Delhi Naval Unit. It aims to develop character, discipline, and the ideals of selfless service amongst the country’s youth and contribute to creating organised, trained and motivated defence forces. NCC Hindu College has grown stronger, owing its excellence to the grit and resilience of the ever-so-committed cadets.
