Therefore, along with academic credentials, students were put up with social responsibility. This equips them with a sound body and mind. The enthusiastic cadets will get the opportunity to explore beyond boundaries. The overall performance the cadet exhibits throughout his life is a guaranteed blessing in this preparation. The sense of love for the country makes one want to not only raise the flag but also be righteous throughout their lives. The patriotism that he or she bears in the heart reflects in all their behaviour.

Aims of NCC
The aim of the NCC is to develop discipline, character, brotherhood, the spirit of adventure, and the ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens. Not only these, but it also aims to enlighten leadership qualities among the youth who will serve the nation regardless of which career they choose. It also motivates the young to choose a career in the armed forces.
NCC Flag
In 1954, the existing tricolor flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag depict the three services in 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. Each lotus represents one NCC Directorate.
NCC Pledge
“We, the cadets of the national cadet corps, do solemnly pledge that we shall always uphold the unity of India. We resolve to be disciplined and responsible citizens of our nation. We shall undertake positive community service in the spirit of selflessness and concern for our fellow beings”.
