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 established 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. The National Cadet Corps Act was accepted by the Governor General and on 15 July 1948 the National Corps came into existence. There are so many different type of camps Organized and conducted by NCC like Annual Training Camp, National Integration Camp, Para Jumping Camp, Snow Sking Camp, Mountaineering Camp, Army Attachment Camp, Thal Sanik Camp, Youth Exchange Programme Camp , Republic Day Camp, PDLS Camp, PD Camp and Trekking Camp.
