Student Life

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is the largest uniformed youth organisation in the country. Its motto is 'Unity and Discipline (Ekta aur Anushasan)'. The NCC in India was formed under the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948. The NCC aims at developing character, comradeship, discipline, a secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens. Further, it aims at creating a pool of organized, trained and motivated youth with leadership qualities in all walks of life, who will serve the Nation regardless of which career they choose. Needless to say, the NCC also provides an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to join the armed forces.

Miranda House has a strong and dynamic NCC programme which strives to:

  • Develop leadership, build strength of character, comradeship, spirit of sportsmanship and ideal of service.
  • Create a force of disciplined and trained persons who could, in a national emergency, be of assistance to the country.
  • Provide training to students with a view to developing in them officer-like qualities, thus also enabling them to obtain commissions in the armed forces.
