NCC (National Cadet Corps)
The NCC in India was formed with the National Cadet Corps Act 1948. It was raised on 15 July 1948. The National Cadet Corps can be considered as a successor of the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) which was establish by the British Govt. in 1942. During World War II the UOTC never came up to the expectation set by the British. This led to the India that some better schemes should be formed, which could train more young men in a better way even during peace. A committee setup at the behest of our First Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, headed by Pandit H.N. Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and colleges at a National Level.
