(India) is the Indian military cadet corps with its Headquarters at New Delhi, Delhi, India. It
is open to school and college students on voluntary basis. National Cadet Corps is a
Tri-Services Organization, comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the
youth of the country into disciplined and patriotic citizens. The National Cadet Corps in India
is a voluntary organization which recruits cadets from high schools, colleges and universities
all over India. The Cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades. The
officers and cadets have no liability for active military service once they complete their
course but are given preference over normal candidates during selections based on the
achievements in the corps.
Thakur Sen Negi Govt. College Reckongpeo has taken a lead and joined the “NCC corps” to train
its students to join the services as officers. Students have a choice to opt for NCC as a
proficiency course in first year
Our college strongly supports NCC training both financially and morally at the campus. While
pursuing the course, NCC cadets undergo different training programs as Drill, Shooting, Physical
fitness, map reading, First aid, Gliding/Flying, boat pulling, sailing, mountaineering, scuba
diving and camp training covering basic military training in Army, Navy and Air Force.
The need for having motto for the Corps was discussed in the 11th Central Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting held on 11 Aug 1978. The final decision for selection of “Unity and Discipline” as motto for the NCC was taken in the 12th CAC meeting held on 12 Oct 1980.
The NCC is headed by a Director General with the rank of lieutenant-general. He is assisted by two Additional Director Generals (A and B) of two star rank (major-general, rear-admiral or air vice-marshal). Five Brigadier level officers and other civil officials also assist him. The Headquarters is located in Delhi. The organisational structure continues as follows:
In all there are 95 Group Headquarters in the country who exercise control over a network of 667 Army Wing Units(including technical and girls unit), 60 Naval Wing Units and 61 Air Squadrons.

In C.A.T.C., the boys(Senior & Junior Division)and girl cadets(Senior & Junior Wing)of a particular NCC unit participate in the 10-day camp. Classes are conducted as per the given syllabus wherein certain aspects of NCC training are taught once again. The camp acts as a refresher training for the cadets and they are also trained in basic skills of survival and emergencies besides other topics. They are taught certain skills pertaining specifically to their Wing for e.g., a Naval cadet is trained in boat-rowing, oaring, Semaphore, etc. Another activity in the camp is the “dogwatch” wherein two cadets are to stay on sentry duty for two hours at any time given time of the day. Those caught sleeping, especially during late night or early morning shifts, or otherwise missing from duty are severely reprimanded or penalized. Cadets are also introduced to weapons such as a .22 caliber rifle.
