National Cadet Corps

We Can – We Will

“For your country: If you plan for a year, sow paddy
If you plan for a decade, plant trees
If you plan for the future, nurture youth.”

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 came into existence on 15th July 1948 under the NCC Act XXXI of 1948 under the Ministry of Defence. NCC unit in D.A-V. College was established in 1948 at the time and since has been the best extracurricular practice in the college. We have three companies of NCC, 1/54, 2/54 & 3/54 of Senior Division.

Our Mission

To train the cadets to become responsive individuals, sensitive to the needs of the community

To teach dignity of labour and ignite the creative instinct that lies latent in the youth.

To develop a new work- ethos characterized by hard work, sincerity of purpose and the ideals of selfless service with a secular outlook.

To inculcate in the youth a sense of nationalism and secular outlook that contributes towards the building of the nation.

To provide a platform for individual upliftment through the process of channelizing the energy of the youth in constructive pursuits.

To help the youth realise the intimate relationship between man and the community, between community and nature and their inter-dependability.
