NCC Brief
History
 The
Indian Parliament passed the National Cadet Corps Act in 1948,
thus creating the National Cadet Corps (NCC). The motto of
the NCC is Unity and Discipline. The HQ of the NCC is in New
Delhi and is commanded by a Director-General of the rank of
Lieutenant General. At New Delhi, a Central Advisory Committee
has been set up with the RM / RMM as Chairman to advise the
Government on all matters of policy and administration of
the NCC. Each state also has a State Advisory Committee. The
NCC is administered directly by the Ministry of Defense. The
Director General has a staff which is drawn from the three
services - Army, Navy and Air Force.
The NCC is divided into 16 directorates,
similar to brigades, in which each state or group of states
forms a directorate. The smaller states and union territories
are attached with directorates of the bigger states. Each
directorate is under the command of an Officer equivalent
to the rank of a Brigadier. The directorates are further sub-divided
into groups, which varies according to the size of the state,
each under the command of an Officer equivalent to the rank
of Colonel. A group consists of NCC battalions and NCC Air
Force & Naval units. Other than the Commanding Officer,
each Group HQ has an Administrative Officer and a Training
Officer with ranks of either a Lieutenant Colonel or a Major.
NCC Organisation
 The
National Cadet Corpos is headed by a Director General, an
Army Officer of the rank of Lieutanant General, who is responsible
for the functioning of the National Cadet Corps in the country
through the National Cadet Corps Headquarters situated at
Delhi. At the State Level, the country has been divided into
16 Directorates covering all States and Union Territories.
Each of the State National Cadet Corps Directorate Headquarters
controls two to fourteen Group Headquarters. While Directorates
are commanded by Brigadiers or their equivalents, the Groups
are commanded by Colonels or equivalents from the Air Force
and the Navy, NCC Units are commanded by Major/Lieutenant
Colonel or their equivalents.
