Unity · Discipline
Building character, camaraderie, discipline and leadership among the young women of our College — with a proud record at the country’s most prestigious NCC camps.
The foundation that shapes every cadet — values, words and the promise we make to the nation.
To develop character, comradeship, discipline, a secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens; to create a pool of organised, trained and motivated youth with leadership qualities who will serve the nation in any career; and to provide an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to join the armed forces.
“Unity and Discipline”
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.

A note from the Associate NCC Officer on what the Wing stands for — and what it offers to every student who chooses to join.
The NCC is open to all regular students of the College on a voluntary basis. It is a youth-development movement. The NCC provides opportunities for all-round development along with a sense of responsibility, dedication, commitment, and instils moral values that help cadets become able leaders and good citizens of our country. Apart from attending prestigious camps, cadets also participate in adventure camps, community-welfare programmes, and social-service activities within and outside the College campus.
