National Cadet Corps

St. Paul's High School - National Cadet Corps

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a youth development movement. It has enormous potential for nation building and provides opportunities to the youth of the country for their all-round development with a sense of Duty, Commitment, Dedication, Discipline and Moral Values so that they become able leaders and useful citizens. It provides exposure to the cadets in a wide range of activities, with a distinct emphasis on Social Services, Discipline and Adventure Training. It is open to all regular students of schools and colleges on a voluntary basis. However the students have no liability for active military service.

The National Cadets Corps came into existence under the National Cadet Corps Act XXXI of 1948 (passed in April, 1948; came into existence on 16th July, 1948). Its ‘Aims,’ laid out in 1988 have stood the test of time and continue to meet the requirements expected of it in the current socio–economic scenario of the country.
