NCC  : NATIONAL  CADET  CORPS

Don Bosco College, Byndihati has a very well committed unit of NCC.

NCC, the largest youth organization of the world, is regulated under the Ministry of Defence. NCC was formed in 1948, under the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948 and since then it is shaping the lives of millions of cadets. It can be considered the successor of University Officers Training Corps, which was established by Britishers in 1942 during the wars of 1965 and 1971. The young comrades of NCC were the second line of Defence. It was the time when NCC syllabus incorporated Leadership and OLQs (Officer-like Qualities) in its syllabus with a great emphasis. Hence it wouldn’t be wrong to call NCC as the basic building block of Indian Defence.

The NCC (National Cadet Corps) has a motto: “Unity and Discipline,” and members pledge to uphold this when they join.

NCC is a non-political organization that focuses on building character and leadership skills through activities like military drills, ceremonies, adventures, and community service.

In times of war, NCC cadets may be called to assist the military through an agreement between the Ministry of Defence and state governments. The NCC has played an important role in providing support to the armed forces and conducting Defence readiness training for its members.
