Responsibilities of a Cadet

An NCC cadet by the very fact of being an active cadet has to shoulder extra responsibilities unlike his/her fellow classmates who are not members of NCC. His/her responsibilities are nowhere written but obligatory as an outcome of his/her training. Thus, he or she fulfils the main aims of NCC i.e., becoming a potential leader with character qualities and responsible citizen. He/she has separate responsibilities to his NCC unit, Organisation, his institution, society at large and to the country. That includes active participation in social awareness initiatives, environmental issues, disaster relief, adventure and sports activities and other nation building efforts. It doesn’t end with his NCC training at his/her institution, but has to be carried forward to all the fields where he/she is going to be engaged in the future too. Thus, with the passage of time, country would have had past NCC cadets occupying leadership positions in all walks of life espousing the noble values and objectives of NCC.

NCC Flag

The NCC flag for various units of the NCC was first introduced in 1951. The flag was of same pattern, colour and size as was used by various regiments of the Army. The only difference was that it had the NCC badge and unit designation placed in the centre. Later on it was felt that the flag should be in keeping with the inter-service character of the Corps. In 1954 the existing tricolour flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag depict the three services of the Corps, red for the Army, deep blue for the Navy and light blue for the Air Force. The letters NCC and the NCC crest in gold in the middle of the flag encircled by a wreath of lotus, give the flag a colourful look and a distinct identity.
