CHAPTER – 1

ORG OF ARMED FORCES – ARMY, NAVY & AIR FORCE & ITS RELATIVE RANKS

Part –I Org of Armed Forces – Army, Navy & Air Force

Introduction

1. The present day Indian Armed Forces owe their origin to British days. It was then

used as an instrument for the expansion and preservation of the British Empire. A lot of

evolution and modernization has taken place since then, and the Armed Forces have now

become a symbol of strength for our country.

2. The NCC is very closely associated with the Armed Forces and includes many of their

personnel. It is therefore necessary to understand the basic structure or organization of what

constitutes the Armed Forces, i.e., the Army, Navy and Air Force.

The Indian Army

3. Initially, the army's main objective was to defend the nation's frontiers. However, over

the years, the army has also taken up the responsibility of providing internal security,

especially in insurgent-hit Kashmir and North East. The army has strength of about a million

troops and fields 34 divisions. Its headquarters is located in the Indian capital New Delhi and

it functions under the command of the Chief of Army Staff (currently General Joginder

Jaswant Singh). The COAS is assisted by several other high ranking officers.

4. The Army since Independence has taken part in the following major operations in

defence of our borders :-

(a) Kashmir Operations against Pakistan : 1947-48.

(b) Sino- Indian Operations in NEFA (Arunachal) and Ladakh: 1962.

(c) Indo-Pak war, 1965

(d) Indo- Pak war, 1971.

(e) IPKF (Sri Lanka )

(e) Kargil ops.

5. In addition, the Army took part in peace-keeping missions under United Nations in

Korea, Congo and a number of African States, Lebanon, Gaza Strip (Egypt) and Sri Lanka.

6. Services of the Army, Navy and Air Force have been extensively utilized in aid of civil

authorities during natural calamities like floods, cyclones and earthquakes.

7. The Army today is self- reliant in respect of its requirements of conventional weapons

and is fully geared to meet any external aggression on our border.

8. Command & Control. The President of India is the Supreme Commander of all

the Armed Forces of the country. The Chief of Army Staff is the head of the Indian Army and

is responsible for its command, training, operation and administration. He carries out these

functions through Army Headquarters (Army HQ).

9. Command Headquarters. The whole country is divided into seven commands.

These are Northern, Western, Central, Southern, Eastern, South Western and the Army

Training Command (ARTRAC). The Command HQ exercise operational responsibility. Of

these, 6 are tactical commands and one, a training command. Each command is headed by

General Officer Commanding-in-Chief with the rank of Lieutenant General. Each command is

directly affiliated to the Army HQ in New Delhi.

Part II- Relative Ranks (Army, Navy And Air Force)

21. NCC is an Inter service organization and comes under the Ministry of Defence. The

Officers, JCOs and Other Ranks (ORs) equivalent, from all the three services are posted in

NCC to carry out their assigned task. Therefore, as WTLOs, ANOs & GCIs, it is necessary

to recognize the various rank structure in the three services, to enable every individual to pay

due respect.

22. This will be covered in three parts:-

(a) Rank Structure in the Army.

(b) Rank structure in the Navy.

(c) Rank structure in the Air Force.

25. An attempt is made to give a brief outline organisation of the Armed Forces. Visits to

Various units and armed forces organisation would give a further insight to the defence

services.

26. Having seen the various rank structures, it will take time to remember all of them.

However, a constant study of this rank structure would facilitate all to recognize the various

rank structure in the armed forces, when required.

CHAPTER- 2

HONOURS AND AWARDS

Introduction

1. British rule over India came to an end on 14 August 1947 and with it also ended the old institution of British honours and awards. The new Indian awards could come into being only with the dawn of the Republic on 26 January 1950. But on the basis of proposals already made by early May 1948, the new awards, known as Param Vir Chakra, Maha Vir Chakra and Vir Chakra, were finally selected in June 1948. Thus on becoming a Republic, decorations and medals were introduced to honour the deeds of gallantry and valour by members of Indian defence forces. Gradually, with the passage of time, the range of awards kept on expanding.

2. A complete break with the past was, however, not possible because members of the Indian armed forces still held British honours and these could no longer be granted to Indians. A perusal of the British and Indian awards will thus show some equivalents in the Param Vir Chakra to the Victoria Cross, the Maha Vir Chakra to the Indian Order of Merit and the Vir Chakra to the Military Cross. The other group of awards i.e. the Ashoka Chakra series, meant for gallantry other than in the face of the enemy, was probably meant to replace the George Cross, Albert Medal and George Medal.

3. The first batch of decorations introduced on 26 January 1950 was thus made effective with retrospective effect from 15 August 1947. The Vir Chakra and Ashoka Chakra series became important institutions of this batch. The second instalment came in March 1953, in the form of the Meritorious Service Medal and Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, Territorial Army Decoration and Territorial Army Medal. Then followed the highest award of the land-the Bharat Ratna-and Padma series in 1954. On 26 January 1960, some more medals were instituted and these included the Vishisht Seva Medal (in the classes), Sainya Seva Medal, Videsh Seva Medal and Sena, Nao Sena and Vayu Sena Medals.

4. As a result of the Indo-Pak conflict of 1965, the Raksha Medal, Samar Seva Star and some others were introduced. Then came the 1971 war and it led to the institution of the Sangram Medal, Poorvi Star and Paschimi Star.

Conclusion 17. As NCC officers, you should know about the awards of our nation, as you have a part to play in bringing up our heroes of tomorrow. It is rightly said, “This world rests on the arms of heroes like a son on those of his sire. He, therefore, that is a hero, deserves respect under every circumstance. There is nothing higher in the three worlds than heroism. The hero protects and cherishes all, and things depend upon the hero".

CHAPTER- 3

INTRO TO NCC AND ITS ORG

Part I: NCC an Overview Introduction

1. Youth are the future architects of India, on whose shoulders lies the responsibility of conserving all that is best in the country. Swami Vivekananda the great philosopher of the century had stressed on the need to awaken the youth in India and to involve them in nation building activities. For this, there was a need to strengthen a system of value education that would foster universal and eternal values, oriented towards the unity and integration of the country, and help to eliminate violence, fanaticism and fatalism. Value oriented education will go a long way in including in the youth a spirit of service, nationalism and patriotism.

Brief History

2. Brief History. The National Cadet Corps (NCC), a youth organization, has its beginning in the ‘University Corps’ which was created under the Indian Defence Act 1917, with the object 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)’. In 1942, the UTC was renamed as the ‘University Officers Training Corps (UOTC)’.

3. Thus the creation of a youth organisation to train young boys and girls to be better citizens in all walks of life, was realized by our leaders. For this, a committee under Pandit H N Kunjru was set up in 1946 at the behest of our first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. NCC came into existence on 16 July 1948 under the NCC Act, Act XXXI of 1948, under the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

4. Since then, the NCC has contributed immensely in helping the youth in developing personality traits like, physical, physiological, socio-emotional, intellectual values and morale necessary for a healthy development of character of men and women.

5. Growth of NCC. The NCC has grown step by step, in a humble way with a target of only 32,500 SD and 1,35,000 JD cadets in 1948, into a matured and glorious organisation, keeping the youth in its fold. It is open to both schools and universities students covering more than 4500 colleges and 6500 schools. It has not been possible to provide NCC coverage to a large number of educational institutions due to its sanctioned strength standing at 4.75 lakhs for SD/SW and 8.24 lakhs for JD/JW cadets which covers only 3.8% of the eligible student population of our country, with a network of 777 NCC units spread from offshore Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshwadweep to the freezing heights of Leh in Himalayas, as also from Kutch in the West to Kohima in the East. The NCC got an inter-service image when Air Wing in 1950 and Naval Wing in 1952 were added to it. While elementary military training was given to school students (JD), College students (SD) were trained as potential officers of the Army. In 1949, the Girls Division was introduced to give equal opportunity to school & college going girls. In 1952, the NCC curriculum was extended to include community development as a part of the NCC syllabus at the behest of Late Pandit

18

Jawaharlal Nehru. Due to popular demand and followed by Chinese aggression, NCC training was made compulsory in 1963. However, on the resistance of students and on the suggestion of some Vice Chancellors, it was again made voluntary in 1968.

6. Who can join NCC. Induction into NCC is on voluntary basis. Students, both boys and girls, in schools & colleges can join NCC with no distinction made on the basis of caste, creed, status, community & province, at the age of 13 years in Junior Division / Junior Wing (boys / girls) - Class VIII to X, and Senior Division / Senior Wing from class XI onwards. Less than 26 years of age, be a citizen of India or a subject of Nepal, not having been convicted for any offence involving moral turpitude and conforming to the prescribed standard of physical fitness etc. are other conditions. Such a student should also not be a member of any communal or political organisation.

Aims of the NCC

7. The NCC has always been evaluated from time to time by Evaluation Committees and in 1972, an exercise was undertaken by the MOD to make ‘Aims’ of the NCC in tune with the aspirations of the youth in view of changing socio-economic environment. Accordingly in 1972, an Evaluation Committee was set up under the chairmanship of Dr. G S Mahajani, Vice Chancellor of the Pune University who presented its report to MOD in Jan. 1974.

8. Another committee was constituted by the Govt. of India by Non-Statutory Resolution No. 8 dt. 20 Dec. 1986 for the NCC, to evaluate and review its working with the references to its aims and objectives. Chaired by Lt. Gen (Retd) M L Thapan, PVSM, which submitted in June 1988. The recommendations by the committee have been accepted by the Govt. partially and implemented.

9. With the evaluation and constant growth of the youth, the Corps has formulated its aims as under :-

(a) To develop qualities, character, courage, comradeship, discipline, leadership, secular outlook, spirit of adventure and sportsmanship and the ideals of selfless service among the youth to make them useful citizens.

(b) To create a human resource of organized, trained and motivated youth, to provide leadership in all walks of life including the Armed Forces and be always available for the service of the nation.

(c) To create a suitable environment to motivate the youth to take up a career in the Armed Forces.

Cardinal Principles

10. (a) Obey with a smile.

(b) Be Punctual.

(c) Work hard without Fuss.

(d) Make no excuses and tell no lies.

Motto 11. The NCC Motto was framed as “Unity & Discipline” which implies our basic oneness, the brotherhood of all Indian people and is the essential ingredient of our strength. It connotes the identity of purpose and is a major contribution of the NCC towards national

19

integration. The stress on discipline is the backbone of any organization and the bedrock of any social order. A nation with disciplined youth can only make rapid progress and achieve greatness in every field.

Administration

12. The NCC organisation is administered through the Ministry of Defence. The Defence Secretary is overall in-change, who is responsible to the Government of India for efficient functioning of the NCC and other matters.

13. However, the organisational structure of NCC is closely related with the educational programme of country. In fact the back bone of the organisation are thousands of young men and women and Associate NCC officers who are on the teaching staff of schools and colleges. Upon their shoulders, rests the responsibilities of providing the necessary thrust and inputs of the NCC activities.

Rank Structure Of NCC

14. The Rank structure of NCC is as under:-

(a) Officers of Army, Navy and Air Force.

(b) NCC Whole Time Lady Officer (WTLO).

(c) Associated NCC Officers.

(i) Senior Wing.

(ii) Junior Wing.

(d) Girl Cadet Instructor.

(i) GCI I.

(ii) GCI II.

(iii) GCI III.

Part- II: NCC Organization At Dg NCC Hq, Directorate Level And Group Level.

15. The National Cadet Corps (NCC) came into existence in 1948 by an Act of Parliament, as a result of the recommendations of the Pandit H. N. Kunzru Committee. The NCC has a four tier administration. The Directorate General NCC is at New Delhi, directly administered through the Ministry of Defence.

16. NCC is a voluntary organisation having three Divisions viz. the Senior Division, Junior Division and the Senior Wing and Junior Wing Girls. Since the organisational structure of NCC is closely associated with the educational system of our country, the backbone of the organisation are young men and women of schools & colleges and Associate NCC officers who are on the teaching roll in schools and colleges.

Organization of Directorate General of NCC

17. The NCC is headed by Director General (DG), an army officer of the rank of Lieutenant General, who is responsible for the functioning of the NCC in the Army through the Directorate General of NCC, located at Delhi. The DG at the Directorate General NCC is

20

assisted by two Additional Directors General (ADsG), one Major General from the Army and the other equivalent rank from Navy or Air Force. There are five Deputy Directors General in the rank of Brigadier and equivalent. In addition, there are 10 Directors of the rank of Col or equivalent and 10 Joint Directors of the rank of Lt Col and equivalent. There also are Majors and equivalents functioning as Deputy Directors and Dy Asstt Director in different Directorates at the Dte Gen NCC. OTA Kamptee and Gwalior come directly under DG NCC.

CHAPTER- 4

ORGANISATION OF GIRLS BN & (I) GIRLS COY Introduction 1. NCC began in a small way with an initial strength of 1, 68,000 cadets. Today the Corps is nearly 15 Lakhs. From the outlaying Andamans in the Bay of Bengal & Lakshdweep in the Arabian Sea, to remote regions of Ladakh & Arunachal Pradesh in Himalayas, there is hardly a town or village with a school or a college, which does not have a NCC Unit. 2. As members of the NCC, it is important to know & understand the organisation & function of the NCC Battalion & Independent Company. For the purpose of imparting training, permanent instructional staff (PI Staff) is drawn from the three services & posted to these units. In addition, each institution is required to provide Associate NCC Officers (ANOs), who are responsible for the training & administration of the cadets of the NCC unit/ Sub unit i.e., coy / troops allotted to the institution.

INTRO TO NCC ACTS

Therefore, there is a need to preserve these items in public interest with due consideration to the turn-out of the NCC cadets and their image in the society.

2. Advancement in the socio-economic conditions in the country motivated Armed Forces and Para-Military organisations to introduce textile of improved quality for uniforms. Thus NCC cadets were authorised terrycot uniforms from the year 1984-85 which was to be introduced in a phased manner over 8 years. Simultaneously, the existing system of accounting and replacement had been changed to a life cycle concept for most clothing, as is being followed by the Armed Forces. The success of adopting the life cycle concept, which goes a long way to serve the interests of the state as well as the cadets, depends on its strict adherence.

13. Wastage on Life Cycle Concept. Since clothing items are retrieved at the end of each academic year from cadets, a detailed system of issue and marking of clothing items has been evolved as follows :-

(a) Commencement of Life. It would commence from the month and year it is issued to the institution. (School/College/Sqn/Div) by a unit or NCC Bn.

79

(b) Marking of Items. Ink and note in issue register & CIV (IAFZ-2096) CRV (IAFZ-2096).

(c) Compilation of Wastage. Withdrawn from cadet and returned to the unit at the end of academic session. Unit will send a return to SHDC (State Dte) who in turn will, compile all such returns and will subtract the total quantity thus wasted out from their total stock while compiling annual wastage return and a stock return for submission to DG NCC as on 01 Jan every year.

14. Disposal of Un-serviceable/Life Expired Items. All items will be posted under Group HQ, then will be auctioned publicly by a board of offrs in the best interest of the state, planned in Jun/Jul. Sale proceeds deposited in the Government treasury by means of MRO and rest unserviceable will be deposited into salvage section.

Procedure for Items Not Included in Life Cycle Concept

15. Articles where life cycle is not prescribed and are reported unserviceable will be brought before a condemnation board once a year (in the month of May). Only those items found unserviceable due to fair wear & tear would be condemned. If they are found fit to further use after repair, they will be repaired at the expense of the Central Government, Major Head 2076, Minor Head 113-NCC, and issued to cadets again.

Conclusion

17. Proper planning, correct forecasting and prompt repair & maintenance can ensure good kitting to cadets. This needs a vigorous drive at all levels to make the life cycle concept a success. A proposal to issue personal clothing items to NCC cadets as one time issue has been initiated by DG NCC to Ministry of Defence, and is awaiting confirmation, to further streamline the issue of clothing to cadets.

Introduction 1. In army, personal arms are issued to all ranks, which are carried by them on their person at all times during operations and training exercises. NCC offrs/cadets are issued with arms only for short durations, for weapon training and firing. Any laxity in handling of arms and ammunition (Amn) by the person carrying arms is likely to lead to injury or death to innocent bystanders. There have been large No of incidences wherein due to lack of discipline in wpn handling avoidable accidents have occurred. It is therefore imperative for everyone to exercise strict discipline in handling of arms and amn. Over the years, few guidelines have been evolved on the subject. Religious observance of these guidelines would help in avoiding accidents. Handling of Arms And Ammunition 2. Physical Security. First and most imp rule of arms and amn discipline is that arm/amn is never left unattended. An individual issued with an arm/amn must carry it on his person at all times. Incase the individual has to separate from the arm due to some unavoidable reason, he must entrust the arm to someone else. Under no circumstances should the arm/amn be left unguarded or unsupervised. 3. Inspection of Arms During Issue and Return. The arm must be checked thoroughly for breakages and missing parts while it is being issued form the kote. It should also be ensured that there is no round in the breech/magazine of the wpn. Both the persons, i.e. the person receiving and person issuing the arm must carry out the inspection. This inspection must also be carried out whenever the wpn is handed over by one pers to another. 4. On culmination of every parade, breech of the wpn must be checked to ensure that there is no round in it. 5. Direction of Barrel. At all times barrel of wpns must point towards safe area i.e. either towards sky or ground. During squad post training, even if DP rifles are being used, it must be ensured that the barrel is not pointed towards any living being. 6. Protection From Moisture, Sand and Dirt. Moisture, sand and dirt seriously degrade arms and amn. Hence the arms and amn have to be protected from moisture, sand and dirt at all time. 7. Regular Cleaning. Arms and amn must be kept clean. Arms cleaning should be carried out before and after every firing. Amn should be thoroughly cleaned before firing. 8. Handling of White Phosphorus (WP) Amn. WP amn is extremely volatile in nature. Hence, it is always stocked and carried separately. Other points to be borne in mind while stocking WP amn are as follows;-

(a) Provision for sufficient quantity of water must be ensured in the vicinity. (b) Constant vigilance of amn must be ensured. On leakage WP amn emanates onion like smell. Incase of such smell the amn must be segregated and put in water.

82

(c) WP amn should always be stored in cool and shady place. (d) Availability of breathing apparatus, rubber hand gloves and first aid eqpt must be ensured in the vicinity.

9. Protection of Arms and Amn. Arms and amn should always be guarded by an armed guard of at least one NCO and three OR. Conclusion 10. Security of arms is an extremely important and critical issue. Particularly in our country, as most of the states are facing secessionist activities. In such a scenario loss of arms or amn can have serious repercussions. In order to prevent any loss/damage to arms and amn it is necessary to maintain strict arm and amn discipline. As a WTLO, GCI or NCC officer you may be required to perform the duties of Administrative or Range officer wherein you will be responsible for safekeeping of arms and amn. Adherence to the guidelines mentioned above would ensure proper arms and amn discipline and prevent any loss/damage to arms and amn.

Training Methodology

7. Successful implementation of any training philosophy lies in formulation and implementation of its methodology of conduct. The parameters and methods for imparting training are given below:-

Institutional Training. 8. Institutional Training is the first step that every cadet has to go through. It is the main stem from which all other activities branch out. It is this training which makes a NCC cadet stand out amongst her peer group. It involves Drill, shooting, physical fitness, map reading, first aid, gliding/powered flying, boat pulling, sailing and camp training, all of which form part of Institutional Training. Institutional training also covers basic military training in Army, Navy or Air Force subjects. The aim of this training is to expose the youth to a regimental way of life to inculcate in them the values of discipline, dutifulness, personality, orderliness and smartness. 9. Objectives of Institutional Training.

(a) Firstly to expose young cadets to a ‘ regimental way of life’ which is essential to inculcate the values of discipline, duty, punctuality, orderliness, smartness, respect for the authorities, correct work ethos and self confidence.

(c) Thirdly, to inculcate a ‘defence services work ethos’ which is characterized by

hard work, sincerity of purpose, honesty, ideals of selfless service, dignity of labour, secular outlook, comradeship, spirit of adventure and sportsmanship.

91

Camp Training 10. Camp training constitutes the most important part of NCC training. Every cadet in the NCC is expected to attend at least two camps during one’s tenure to complete the Training Syllabi. Therefore, nearly 50 percent of the enrolled strength gets this opportunity every year. In Camps, the young cadets get the thrill and joy of outdoor and community living as they are made to live under canvas/camp conditions and also follows a rugged but interesting routine. Camps also help in developing camaraderie, team-work, leadership qualities, self-confidence, self-reliance and dignity of labour among cadets. This contributes greatly towards promoting national integration. The various camps conducted by the NCC are as follows:-

(a) Annual Training Camps (ATC). These are held within the State under the aegis of respective NCC Directorates. The camps are of 10 days durations for senior boys/girls and junior boys/girls. 50% of the enrolled strength undergoes the camps. (b) Combined Annual Camp (CATC). These are held at the State Directorate level. Cadets for this camp are generally selected during the Annual Training Camp based on the proven aptitude and capabilities. Those cadets, who perform well in firing, map reading, judging distance & field signal and are tough enough to complete the obstacles course in the prescribed time, are selected for inter Group Competitions at Directorates level. Extensive training is given for each of the events. The winning team in the Directorate gets points towards the Chief Minister Banner, which is presented by the Chief Minister to bring out the soldierly qualities in the cadets.

Centrally Organized Camps (COC) 11. These camps are of an all India nature and are planned by HQ DGNCC in consultation with the Directorates nominated to conduct them. Selected cadets, as per the vacancies allotted to each Directorate, participate in these camps. The following types of centrally organized camps are conducted: -

(a) Leadership Camps. These camps are conducted on an all India basis. Three Advance Leadership Camps (ALC) of 12 days duration each, are conducted for SD, JD, and SW Girls. Three Basic Leadership Camps (BLC) are held, one each for SD boys, SW and JW Girls.

(b) Vayu Sainik Camp. This Centrally Organized Camp is organized for Air Wing Cadets from all Directorates attend the camp. It provides air experience to NCC Air Squadron cadets. In this camp, various Vayu Sainik Camp Competitions and Republic Day Banner Competitions are held for the cadets.

(c) Nau Sainik Camp. This Centrally organised Naval camp for Naval cadets was introduced for the first time in 1964. It is conducted annually for selected Naval Wing Cadets. Various Republic Day Banner Competition held during the camp include boat pulling, ship modeling, firing and sailing competitions. It is conducted during the months of Oct/Nov.

92

(d) Thal Sainik Camp (TSC). Two TSCs are conducted at RD Parade ground, Delhi Cantt every year i.e. one for SD/JD boys and other for SW/JW girls. Points scored by NCC Dtes during various competitions held during the camp contribute towards Republic Day Banner. This camp is conducted in the month of Sep/Oct. (e) National Integration Camps (NIC). These camps are conducted on an all India basis and help bridge the cultural gap among cadets from various states of India. The NCC conducts 37 such camps and 6 SNICs with maximum participation of cadets every year. In addition, NICs is being conducted at remote and forward areas to promote national integration. Special NICs are being conducted regularly at Leh, Srinagar, North Eastern Region and at Port Blair. The aim of conducting these NICs are:-

(i) To foster National Integration despite cultural, religious, geographical and

environmental barriers.

(ii) To learn to live, co-operate and work in harmony with cadets of other

states.

(iii) To teach finer qualities of life and help in overall personality development.

(f) Rock Climbing Camps. Eight rock climbing camps are held each year to expose the cadets to the basics of rock climbing and to inculcate spirit of adventure. Four of these camps are held at Gwalior in MP and other four camps at Nayyar Dam near Trivandrum in Kerala. Rock climbing is increasingly becoming popular as an adventure sport among, cadets.

(g) Republic Day Camp (RDC) and Prime Minister’s (PM’s) Rally. Republic Day Camp is a prestigious camp inaugurated by the Vice President of India and visited by Raksha Mantri, Raksha Rajya Mantri, Chief Minister of Delhi, the three Service Chiefs and other dignitaries. During the Camp, a Horse Show and three Cultural Programmes are held wherein important dignitaries are invited as Chief Guests. The camp culminates in the Prime Minister’s Rally on 28 January every year which showcases all the activities of NCC. In addition, groups of NCC cadets meet the President of India and the Prime Minister over tea on separate days.

Attachment Training. 12. NCC cadets are given an opportunity to live and work in regular service units in the form of Attachment Training. Allocation of vacancies for attachment to various Army Command HQs is done by the Army HQs. Every year officers and cadets are attached with various Army units. The various attachments are given below:-

(a) Attachment Military Hospitals. Senior Wing Girl cadets are attached with various Military Hospitals every year during which they were trained in First Aid and Nursing duties.

(b) IMA Attachment. SD boys Cadets are attached with IMA for trg every year. The attachment is basically meant for motivating cadets to join the Indian Army.

(c) Attachment with OTA. SW girl cadets are attached with OTA, Chennai for training every year. The aim of this attachment is to motivate girl cadets to join the Indian Army.

93

Sports 13. The NCC will facilitate access to high potential sports like Football, Hockey and Shooting to talented cadets with the aim of participate in national level tournaments. In addition cadets will also be encouraged to participate in low cost games like volleyball and Kabaddi so as to hone their team skills. The NCC as the largest youth body will initiate steps to contribute to India’s mission Olympics. Social Service and Community Development. 14. NCC has adopted community development activities with the aim of imbibing amongst cadets selfless service to the community, dignity of labour, importance of self help, need to protect the environment and to assist weaker sections of the society in their upliftment. This was envisaged through programmes involving adult education, tree plantation, blood donation, visit to Old Age Homes, slum clearance, village upliftment and various other social schemes. Some of the major activities of NCC cadets are:-

(a) Tree Plantation.

(b) Blood Donation.

(c) Old Age Homes.

(d) Adult Education.

(e) Community Development.

(f) Disaster Relief.

(g) Anti Leprosy Drive.

(h) AIDS Awareness Programme.

(j) Cancer Awareness Programme.

Career Counseling. 15. In order to help the NCC cadets to choose the right career for themselves, progress in their chosen field and also to enable them to succeed in Services Selection Board (SSB) the NCC devotes 4% of total NCC training periods for Career Counseling, Personality Development & SSB Coaching for cadets.

(a) Career Counseling Programme. Choosing a career is the most important step in the life of a student because their entire future depends on it. However, it has been observed that a large section of students in our country are not clear about their career options and are not able to choose the right field of study or career. To help NCC cadets to overcome this problem, the DGNCC initiated a “Career Counseling Programme” in the year 2007. This pgme helps cadets to succeed realizing their career dreams by taking right decision based on their qualification, interest, knowledge, experience, attitude, potentialities and existing trend in the job market. Since the NCC is spread far and wide across the country and it would have been impractical as well as very expensive to address the target audience directly, therefore, a “Training the Trainers” approach have been trained through a well established career counseling firm to impart career guidance to cadets at unit and sub unit level.

(b) The method adopted exploits the existing resources of the NCC up to unit level for providing career counseling to cadets in rural, semi rural and urban areas for overall

94

upliftment in the globalised job market and feedbacks received from cadets are very encouraging.

(c) Objectives of Career Counseling Programme.

(i) To spread awareness and impart knowledge to cadets about career options available. (ii) To create a data bank of educational institutes and courses available in the country /respective sates of each Dte. (iii) To provide self- awareness to facilitate decision making by the cadets for choosing the career options and alternative career options.

Personality Development Programme. 16. After observing that many young person’s particularly from rural and poor family background, in spite of being intelligent and hardworking are unable to realize their potential due to their poor communication skills in English, the DGNCC introduced “Communication Articulation Skill Development” pgme in the NCC in 2007. Under this pgme again “Training the Trainer” approach has been adopted and Officers from all state Dtes have been trained as Master Trainees’ by experts in this field to guide cadets towards improving their communication skills. These officers further train cadets in various NCC units across the country. SSB Coaching Cadre. 17. In order to help cadets desirous of joining Armed Forces to clear SSB without any problems every year two cadres each for SD &SW cadets are held, for SD cadets at OTA Kamptee and SW cadets at Gwalior. Vacancies for these coaching cadres are allotted at the scale of 12 SD and SW cadets per NCC State Dte for each cadre. Youth Exchange Programme (YEP) 18. The Youth Exchange Programme of the NCC started in 1951. The aim of YEP is a country to country exchange of cadets belonging to NCC/equivalent Govt /Youth Organizations of friendly countries and participation in NCC activities of the host country to create an increased awareness among participants and appreciation of each other’s socio-economic and cultural realities. The exchange programme acts as the ‘third tier of diplomacy’ by supplementing the efforts of our diplomats and leaders in building bonds with other friendly nations.

(a) On-going Programmes. We have YEPs with ten countries. These are Russia, Vietnam, Singapore (Air, Navy and Army) Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives, Kazakhstan & Turkmenistan. (b) Participation. Approximately 100 cadets take part in YEP. Further, 28 SD (Navy) cadets are earmarked for foreign cruises organised by the Navy and the Coast- Guard. These cadets are selected from amongst those nominated by the State NCC Dtes for RDC during Dec-Jan every year. The selection process is based on a written exam followed by screening by a Board of Officers headed by Additional Director General (ADG). The successful cadets are finally interviewed by DG. The OIC delegations are selected by a similar process of interviews held at HQ DGNCC during the month of Apr every year.

95

(c) Visit of Foreign Cadets and Head of Delegations (HOD) to India. The HODs and cadets from friendly foreign countries are invited to our country during the Republic Day Camp in January every year. All foreign cadets are made to stay in the YEP Block at the NCC RD Camp location. Complete expenditure towards hospitality is borne by the Govt of India. All foreign cadets witness the Republic Day Parade, PM’s Rally and Beating the Retreat besides calling on the President, Prime Minister and other important dignitaries. Visits are also arranged for them to historical places in and around Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. In addition, the Singapore and Bangladesh delegation’s visit India during Oct/Nov and participate in various activities like Nau Sainik Camp, Desert Safari, Gliding/Microlite and Yachting Regatta Training.

Training of Trainers. 19. The key to effective training is high quality instructors. The training will be empowered with requisite knowledge and necessary materials, to teach their subjects effectively through centrally organized courses/cadres at OTAs and local cadres at Directorate level. The knowledge and standards of the training will be kept contemporary by regular refresher training. Conclusion

20. Over the years, the NCC has emerged as one of India’s premier institutions for imparting systematic training to Youth. The training covers a wide spectrum ranging from soft skills to military activities. India’s evolving socio-economic structure and the resultant aspiration have necessitated the review of our training philosophy. The idea is to evolve a fresh approach towards training that will be adequate in the present and retain its relevance in the foreseeable future. This Pre-supposes synergy in the application of available resources as well as an effective implementation strategy by dedicated trainers supported by modern infrastructure. An innovative and dynamic approach to training will enable transformation of the NCC cadets into disciplined and responsible citizens capable of positive contribution towards nation building.

Every officer and cadet who has been posted or appointed to a Unit shall be liable to attend an annual training camp during the training year as laid down in NCC Rules, 1948, and also to further service training, sports and adventure training or any other training as the Ministry of Defence or the State Government (including Union Territory Administration) may sanction from time to time. 2. The single major item of expenditure of any unit is on camps. The Ministry of Defence also bears 75 percent of the actual expenditure incurred on camps wherever permissible. It is, therefore, necessary that a streamlined procedure be followed which is uniformly applicable to all states, for smooth functioning of NCC camps. Central Govt share 75% of expenditure on NCC Camps and States contribute only 25%. It is only in the case of NER and J&K that the entire camp and training expenditure is borne by the Central Govt. Camp.

CHAPTER 31

ORGANISATION SOCIAL SERVICE ACTIVITIES

PART –I BASICS OF SOCIAL SERVICE Introduction 1. The origin of social service is ancient, stemming from the tenets of the Judaco- Christian teachings. The modern institutional service took shape with the impact of the industrial revolution upon family and community life , substituting as it did an industrial for an agrarian economy, urban living for rural living and creating dependence upon the wage system as a means of livelihood. Definition 2. The term ‘Social Service’ is defined broadly as the provisions made by governmental or voluntary efforts to meet income maintenance , medical care , housing and recreational needs and provisions for the care and protection of recognised special groups. Objective 3. Social service characterises a formalised way of helping people to help themselves. It is based on the reorganization of variations in individual capability and variations in the social structure . The objective is to help the individual to utilise his capability for his own welfare and for that community. Methods 4.

NCC has adopted community development activities with the aim of imbibing amongst cadets selfless service to the community, dignity of labour, importance of self help, need to protect the environment and to assist weaker sections of the society in their upliftment. This was envisaged through programmes involving adult education, tree plantation, blood donation, visit to Old Age Homes, slum clearance, village upliftment and various other social schemes. Some of the major activities of NCC cadets are:-

(a) Tree Plantation. The tree plantations drive in an ongoing activity in the NCC. Through this activity, cadets begin to realize their responsibilities for conserving nature, which is ultimately for the good of mankind.

(b) Blood Donation. Blood is the matter of life for the wounded and the sick. Blood donation is an act of self service. The patient received it will rarely know where it came from. Help is rendered and a life is saved without expecting a reward for it. The NCC in collaboration with the Indian Red Cross Society started this noble Social Service activity as a regular feature in 1976. This noble activity has now become a permanent feature in the NCC. Cadets donate blood as voluntary service whenever needed by Hospital/Red Cross.

(c) Old Age Homes. Old Age Homes in the country are patronized and regularly visited by NCC cadets. These visits teach the cadets compassion and respect for the elders. (d) Adult Education. NCC cadets visit remote areas, villages and underdeveloped areas to emphasize the need for education and to assist in the conduct of the Adult Education Programmes.

(e) Community Development Work. Cadets of NCC regularly participate in the rural and urban community project and other development works like village track improvement, cleaning of streets and ponds, sanitation drives etc. During Amarnath Yatra cadets provided voluntary assistance to the civil administration of state to organize the visit of Yatris at Jammu, Srinagar, Baltal and at the shrine. (f) Disaster Relief. NCC has always extended its helping hand during natural and other calamities and accidents. Over the years, NCC cadets have rendered outstanding service during floods, earthquakes, cyclones, tragic train accidents and provided the healing touch in riot affected areas. Their response to situations like the Orissa Super Cyclone, floods in Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal and Earth Quake relief operations and soothing tempers after the riots in Gujarat have been commended upon by one and all. Recently, NCC cadets actively assisted in the relief operations during the Tsunami Disaster. The significant contributions by NCC were widely acclaimed by one & all.

(g) Anti Leprosy Drive. NCC Cadets have launched anti-leprosy drive throughout the country and are helping various voluntary Government Organisations.

NCC, UNAIDS and UNESCO have joined hands to fight against the menace of the dreaded disease in India. All Director Generals of NCC have taken special interest in the burning issue. In order to effectively implement this programmes DGNCC acts as Patron-in-Chief, he controls and co-ordinates the entire programme of AIDS awareness in the country. To monitor the entire programme all over India a Core Group has been formed. This Core Group functions under DGNCC and its members are; Programme Officer, UNAIDS (India); National Programme Officer of UNESCO and three senior officers of the NCC posted at HQ DGNCC. As a precursor to “Train the Trainer”, first cadre has been started on 19 Sep 05 with all Directors and selected officers and WTLOs from all states Dtes.

(j) Cancer Awareness Programme. NCC Cadets actively participate in Cancer Awareness Programmes organized at various cities. Cancer Care India (CACI), a NGO and NCC have joined hands to launch Cancer Awareness Programmes (CAPS) throughout the country. So far 13 such CAPS have been conducted.

PART II- ROLE & CONTRIBUTION: NGOs & YOUTH 1. Youth constitute the most creative segment of any society. Their role and contribution are vital to all societies and more so in a country likes India with wide social, cultural and other demographic diversities. Youth constitute about 34 % of the total population of India and their role and contribution towards social welfare and nation building cannot be ignored. For a better understanding of the subject it is important to first understand the basic of social welfare. Definition of Social Welfare 2. Social welfare has been defined by a United Nations expert group as “ Organized activity that aims towards a mutual adjustment of individuals and their social environment”. Social welfare is considered as including the attempts made by governments and voluntary organizations to help families and individuals by maintaining incomes at an acceptable level. This can be achieved by providing medical care and public health services, adequate housing and community development, facilitate social adjustment, facilities for recreation , in addition , pass legislation and creating facilities to protect against exploitation and to care for the underprivileged social groups. It will also include subject relating to education. Contribution of Youth towards Social Welfare 3. The contribution of youth towards social welfare have been discussed in the succeeding paras :-

(a) Leadership. Youth are the leaders of tomorrow and young and vibrant youth are essential for future leadership. Support is provided to voluntary organizations to participate in youth development programmes. Youth need to involve themselves in activities which will develop creditable leadership.

(b) Community Service. Youth need to work in social welfare activities and community services. Therefore, Community Service has been developed as an integral part of the curriculum for education, instruction and training of all students enrolled in educational institution so that youth can fruitfully understand and contribute in community service.

193

(c ) National and Cultural Integration. The youth, when organized as youth force will contribute for the promotion of national and cultural integration of the country. Fostering and developing interaction between youth from different parts of the country specially the isolated border and tribal areas will help in achieving national integration. It should be the endeavour of youth to motivate the general public to work against the separatist forces and ensure unity of the country is maintained.

(d) Education and Literacy. The Youth need to educate themselves and subsequently get into the process of providing quality education to all sections of society. They need to promote education and self development capabilities of the rural youth specially of girls and youth in backward areas.

(e) Environment. The youth must understand the importance and implications of environment on the society and the ecological wealth of the nation. They must help in improving and protecting the environment. They need to engage in aforestation programmes and cleaning of rivers and lakes and disposal of degradable and non degradable waste.

(f) Health Care and Family Welfare. They must promote awareness and involvement in social programmes pertaining to health and family welfare. Programmes such as ‘Youth against AIDS’ campaign, ‘Pulse Polio’, ‘Small Family’ norm and various immunization programmes should be promoted. They must also volunteer in manpower intensive programmes at the implementation stage.

(g) Physical Education and Adventure Training. The youth must understand the importance of physical education for health and physical fitness with a view to increasing individual productivity and the value of sports as a means of recreation and with a potential for promoting social harmony and discipline .

(h) Old Age Care. Our basic social fabric and the joint family system inherently provide for old age care. However with the breakdown of the joint family system the need for old age care has increased. The youth must contribute to the well being of the senior citizen of the society by taking care of their aged and provide them financial security and moral self respect and make all efforts to ensure that they have a secure old age with adequate housing and health care.

(j) Watershed and Waste Land Development. These two are one of our major resources which need to be continuously protected and systematically proclaimed and developed and can be used for various social welfare activities. Youth has genuine potential for this nature of work. They must contribute in these programmes and ensure that these areas are protected from unscrupulous elements that may enter these areas of interests for personal gains.

Non- Government Organisation 1. For the progress and development of the country, there are mainly two types of organizations, Government and Non Government. 2. Government Organization. The steps undertaken by the government for the overall development of the nation and the society are included in the charter of duties of our

194

government organization. The government fully controls such actions which are directly or indirectly undertaken for such developments. Some of the works undertaken by government organization are implementation of Five year plans, Welfare and empowerment of women, Rozgar yogana, Child welfare programme, Literacy programme and AIDS awareness programme. 3. Non Government Organizations. These organizations are controlled by members of society, who form a group or groups and work towards social welfare and nation building. People with common objective and aspirations, together make organizations called Non Government Organization (NGOs) and get them registered. An NGO is a non-profit group or association that acts outside of institutionalized political structures and pursue matters of interest to its members by lobbying, persuasion, or direct action. Their goals are primarily non-commercial. They collect funds both from people and the government. 4. NGOs firstly make survey of various problems, collect information about them, organize various demonstrations, give speeches and wherever action needs to be taken, they take with full vigour. They understand social problems, the causes, affects and create necessary infrastructure to overcome them. NGOs usually gain at least a portion of their funding from private sources. Major sources of NGO funding include membership dues, grant from international institutions or national governments and private donations. 5. Some of the examples of important NGOs are:- Shri Niketan Yojna-Started by Ravinder Nath Tagore, Seva Gram Yojna-by Gandhiji, Gram Yojna by Vinoba Bhave, Child Relief and You, Helpage India, People for Animals(PFA), Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

Conclusion 8. Our youth are the strength of the family, village, locality and the community. They are also the future of our nation. We must take all necessary steps to mobilize this most idealistic, inspired and energetic section of our society in the mission of nation building and social welfare. 9. NGOs are the true example of selfless service and teamwork. Employees are highly committed to the aims and the principles of the organization. They share equal contribution with government organization and social welfare programme. Though government on its part has introduced a number of programmes, however government cannot be entirely successful without the active participation by each member of society. NGOs provide the necessary platform towards this end.
