National Cadet Corps

The National Cadet Corps was formed in India with the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948, with the purpose of recruit regular students as cadets for basic military training in small arms and parades during their study from high schools, colleges and Universities all over India on voluntary basis. Its core motive revolves around instilling discipline, leadership, and a sense of duty among the youth of the country. Through various activities such as drills, adventure sports, community service, and leadership training camps, the NCC aims to develop qualities like selflessness, teamwork, and resilience among its cadets. Furthermore, the NCC strives to inculcate a spirit of patriotism and service towards the nation. It encourages cadets to contribute positively to society, be it through disaster relief efforts, environmental conservation initiatives, or other community development projects. Once they complete their NCC training, they are given preference over normal candidates during selections based on the achievements in the active military service, various other services and also in admission in the higher education.

DAV College Sadhaura is nurturing well-rounded cadets who are responsible, mentally robust, and morally upright and contributing meaningfully to the progress and welfare of the nation.
