“Stand up, be bold, be strong, take the whole responsibility on your shoulders and know that you are the creator of your own destiny”-Swami Vivekanand

The need to create a youth organization at National Level to train young boys and girls to be better citizens and future leaders of our great country in all walks of life, including defense forces, was rightly realized by our leaders. A committee under Pandit H.N Kunzru was set up in 1946 at the behest of our first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and the National Cadet Corps came into existence on 16th Jul, 1948 under the NCC Act XXXI of 1948 under the Ministry of Defence.

                 The NCC is one of the allied forces of the defence force. Here cadets are trained like soldiers and trained to face any kind of hardships that come their way. Apart from regular parade training the cadets of the college also take part in various activities as, weapon training, national integration, historical, geographical and religious background of India, leadership training, first aid, aid to civil authorities, civil defence, ecology/nature awareness, Self defence, giving information about NCC, hygiene and sanitation, social service, adventure training, map reading, field craft, scout and patrol, military history.
