NCC Organisation - In view of the changing socio-economic environment, an exercise was undertaken by the Ministry of Defence to make the aims of the National Cadet Corps in tune with the aspirations of the youth.

• To develop character, comradeship, ideals of service and capacity for leadership in the youth of the country.
• To stimulate interest in the defence of the country, by providing service training to youth.
