National Cadet Corps
The National Cadet Corps is the Indian military cadet corps with its Headquarters at New Delhi, Delhi, India. IT is a Tri-Services Organization comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the youth – ‘The Leaders of Tomorrow’ – into disciplined and patriotic citizens. The genesis of the NCC can be traced back to the First World War when the British created the University Corps as the second line of defense and to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces.
History
After independence the present day NCC under the Ministry of Defense came into existence on 16 Apr 1948 through NCC act 1948. In 1950 Air Wing was added on 01 Apr 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. Presently, NCC has approximately 14 Lakhs Cadets under its fold.
NCC Motto
The motto of NCC is ‘Unity & Discipline’ which was adopted on 23 Dec 1957. In living up to its motto, the 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.
NCC Flag
In 1954 the existing tricolor flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag depict the three services in the Corps, Red for Army, Deep Blue for Navy and Light Blue for the Air Force. The letters NCC and the NCC crest in gold in the middle of the flag encircled by a wreath of lotus, give the flag a colourful look and a distinct identity. Each lotus represents one NCC Directorate (Dte.).
