During First World War, the British created University Officers’ Training Corps with an aim for second line of defence and also to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces. NCC in India was conceptualized and raised before independence, mainly with an aim to groom the youth, both boys and girls, to nurture them and channelize their energy towards nation-building by making them responsible citizens. After independence, the present day NCC came into existence on 16 April 1948, through XXXI Act of Parliament. NCC was formally inaugurated on 15 July 1948. The Girls’ Division of the NCC was raised in July 1949. On 01 April 1950, Air Wing was raised, with one Air Squadron each at Bombay and Kolkata. The Naval Wing of the NCC was raised in July 1952, thus completing the true representation of all services in the Corps. Following the 1962 India-China war, the NCC training was made compulsory in 1963. In 1968, the Corps was again made voluntary. Today, the NCC has an enrolled strength of more than 13.5 lakh cadets.

Aims of NCC

  • To develop qualities of character, courage, comradeship, discipline, leadership, secular outlook, spirit of adventure and sportsmanship and the ideals of selfless service among the youth to make them useful citizen.
  • To create a human resource of organized trained and motivated youth to provide leadership in all walks of life including the Armed Forces and be always available in the service of the nation.

ORGANISATION OF THE NCC

 

The NCC is a voluntary organization which is administered through the Ministry of Defence. At the Headquarters level, this organization is headed by an officer of the rank of Lieutenant General who is responsible for the functioning of the NCC in the country. There are 17 Directorates located in the state capitals headed by an officer of the rank of a Major General / Brigadier or equivalent from the three Services. Depending upon the size of the state and growth of NCC in the states, Directorates have up to 14 Group Headquarters under them through which they exercise their command and control of the organization in the state. Each group is headed by an officer of the rank of Brig / Colonel or equivalent known as Group Commander. Each NCC Group Headquarters controls 5-7 NCC units/battalions, commanded by Colonel / Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent. Each battalion consists of companies which are commanded by the Associate NCC Officers (ANO) of the rank of Lieutenant, Captain or Major. In all, there are 95 Group Headquarters in the country who exercise control over a network of 777 Army Wing Units (including technical and girls’ unit), 61 Naval Wing Units and 61 Air Squadrons.

The NCC Boys Senior Division (Army Wing) started in the institution from the year 1985, with 153 cadets. The College Unit (5/17 UP NCC COY.) attached to the 17 UP BN NCC, 8 Chaitham Line, Prayagraj.
