| Abstract: | The NCC (National Cadet Corps) was set up on 15 July 1948 under the NCC Act XXXI of 1948 by the Ministry of Defence, the Government of India. The main objective of the NCC is to install leadership, accountability, and patriotism in young people, making them ready to become responsible citizens and leaders of the future. The NCC through its motto “Unity and Discipline” basically stands for discipline, secularism, and unity among youth coming from different backgrounds of India. The Defence Ministry is all set to increase the enrolment of the NCC from 17 lakh to 27 lakh cadets during the next ten years. This study is an overview of NCC ideas, organization, training, and how it helps the youth to grow essential leadership skills and discipline. |
