Forging Paths of Innovation and Impact
“Life is not measured by the number of breathe we take, but by the moments that take our breaths away”

National Cadet Corps

In 2022 VISAT Engineering College has established active NCC unit under 16 Kerala Battalion NCC Kottayam. VISAT offers training to 80 SD/SW boys & girls cadets under the Army Wing of the National Cadet Corps.

VISAT Engineering College, besides being a premium College of Engineering Studies, is also a training ground for cadets of NATIONAL CADET CORPS. The NCC cadets of VISAT are enrolled under 16 Kerala Battalion. Regular drill sessions are conducted in our ground, where the senior cadets impart their skills and Josh to Junior ones. The session starts with a light warm up including two-three rounds of 400 meter track and jumps. Drill sessions are always a delight to watch, where some cadets could be seen marching in proper sync and coordination, where defaulters could be seen facing grueling RAGDA.

The RAGDA make the cadet stronger and sparks his/her inner strength. The senior always tries to bring their cadet out of their comfort zone so that they can grow a step every day. Also, PI (P.T. instructor) and ANO visit the ground to ensure the proper functioning of the drill parades. They interact and solve the problems of cadets. Students brought up like cadets, build good friendship with other cadets.

Along with the outdoor drill, indoor sessions are held in which cadets exercise various tasks to inculcate the OFFICER LIKE QUALITIES. Senior share their experiences of growing out of this organization as a leader and building inter-personal skills to lead a group of men. We got to do more and more of extra-curricular activities, we dance, we sing, we go out on road rallies, we give lectures, we discuss the highlighted topics of concern, we go for camps, we learn and above all we perform our duty as NCC CADETS.

Camps are always exciting and a transforming phase in a cadet’s life. There he/she is shown the real schedule of a defense personnel. Here his overall dimension of personality shines from doing parades in scorching heat to performing cultural events in events, from competing with other cadets in obstacle race to shooting in bird’s eye, from delivering his roles as a guard and at times a linesman in the range to serving food and refreshment and earning those smart looking badges that decorates one’s uniform. We get in touch with soldiers and learn the art of shooting, giving commands and carrying out one duties with accuracy and precision. We live in one house and make its a home of above 100 cadets and defense personnel. In VISAT, scholars are made and NCC makes them SCHOLAR WARRIORS…

About NCC

The National Cadet Corps is the Indian military cadet corps with its Headquarters at New Delhi. It is open to school and college students on voluntary basis. 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 in India is a voluntary organization which recruits cadets from high schools, colleges and Universities all over India. The Cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades. The officers and cadets have no liability for active military service once they complete their course but are given preference over normal candidates during selections based on the achievements in the corps.

History Of NCC

NCC was firstly started in 1666 in Germany. The NCC in India was formed with the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948. It was raised on 15 July 1948. The origin of NCC can be traced back to the ‘University Corps’, which was created under the Indian Defense Act 1917, with the objective to make up the shortage of the Army. In 1920, when the Indian Territorial Act was passed, the ‘University Corps’ was replaced by the University Training Corps (UTC). The aim was to raise the status of the UTC and make it more attractive to the youth. The UTC Officers and cadets dressed like the army. It was a significant step towards the Indenisation of armed forces. It was rechristened in the form of UOTC so the National Cadet Corps can be considered as a successor of the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) which was established by the British Government in 1942. During World War II, the UOTC never came up to the expectations set by the British. This led to the idea that some better schemes should be formed, which could train more young men in a better way, even during peace. A committee headed by Pandit H.N. Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and colleges at a national level. The National Cadet Corps Act was accepted by the Governor General and on 15 July 1948 the National Cadet Corps came into existence.

In 1949, the Girls Division was raised in order to give equal opportunities to school and college going girls. The NCC was given an inter-service image in 1950 when the Air Wing was added, followed by the Naval Wing in 1952. Same year, the NCC curriculum was extended to include community development/social service activities as a part of the NCC syllabus at the behest of Late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who took keen interest in the growth of the NCC. Following the 1962 Sino-Indian War, to meet the requirement of the Nation, the NCC training was made compulsory in 1963. In 1968, the Corps was again made voluntary.

During Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 & Bangladesh-Pakistani war of 1971, NCC cadets were second line of defense. They organized camp to assist ordnance factories, supplying arms and ammunition to the front and also were used as patrol parties to capture enemy paratroopers. The NCC cadets also worked hand in hand with the Civil defense authorities and actively took part in rescue works and traffic control.

After 1965 and 1971 wars NCC syllabus was revised. Rather than just being second line of defence, NCC syllabus laid greater stress on developing quality of leadership and officer like qualities. The military training which the NCC cadets received was reduced and greater importance was given to other areas like social service and youth management.

Organisation

At Headquarters level, the NCC is headed by a Director General with the rank of lieutenant-general. He is assisted by two Additional Director Generals (A and B) of two-star rank (major-general, rear-admiral or air vice-marshal). Five Brigadier level officers and other civil officials also assist him. The Headquarters is located in Delhi. There are 17 Directorates located in the state capitals headed by an officer of the rank of a Brigadier from the three Services. Depending upon the size of the state and growth of NCC in the states, Directorates have up to 14 Group Headquarters under them through which they exercise their command and control of the organisation in the state. Each group is headed by an officer of the rank of Colonel or equivalent known as Group Commander. Each NCC Group Headquarters control 5-7 units (Bns) commanded by Lt. Colonel/Major or equivalent. Each Battalion consists of companies which are commanded by the Associate NCC Officer (ANO) of the rank of lieutenant to major. In all there are 95 Group Headquarters in the country who exercise control over a network of 667 Army Wing Units (including technical and girls unit), 60 Naval Wing Units and 61 Air Squadrons. There are two training establishments namely Officers Training School, Kamptee (Nagpur, Maharashtra) and Women Officers Training School, Gwalior.

NCC Day

The NCC Day is observed on the four Sunday of November. The NCC was formed on 15th July 1948, However, the NCC day is observed throughout the country, on the fourth Sunday of November, because, it was on that day in 1947 that the first units raised in Delhi.

In Southern railways, 20 lakh unreserved tickets are being doled out daily and the paperless ticket bought using the app now constitutes 2.5 per cent. Passengers using the unreserved suburban tickets – UTS mobile app can travel without taking a hard copy of the train ticket. During the train journey, when the ticket-checking staff asks for the ticket, a passenger can simply use the ‘Show Ticket’ option in the UTS app. This digital and green initiative was meant to reduce the rush at booking counters and reduce the usage of paper.
