DPS Faridabad - NCC

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a youth development movement. It has enormous potential for nation building. It aims at developing character, discipline, secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service among young citizens. Further, it aims at nurturing 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.

Delhi Public School, Faridabad has taken the initiative to provide its students an opportunity to join NCC, in order to inculcate the feeling of nationalism and understand the importance of unity and discipline in life. The unique and rewarding experience of NCC enables the students to become highly effective, successful leaders and inspires a lifelong pursuit of service and excellence. It is a voluntary, two-year programme. Participation in the Annual Training Camps and NCC activities inside and outside the school helps to prepare cadets for a world that values perseverance, teamwork, and a dedication to the idea of being committed to something bigger than themselves.
