| The National Cadet Corps (NCC) came into existence in 1948 by an Act of Parliament, as a result of the recommendations of the Pandit H. N. Kunzru Committee. The NCC has a four tier administration. The Directorate General NCC is at New Delhi, directly administered through the Ministry of Defense. NCC is a voluntary organisation having three Divisions viz. the Senior Division, Junior Division and the Girls’ Division. Since the organisational structure of NCC is closely associated with the educational system of our country, the backbone of the organisation are young men and women of schools & colleges and Associate NCC Officers (ANO) who are on the teaching roll in schools and colleges. |
