The Army Wing of the National Cadet Corps provides basic military training to students who are interested in learning about the functioning, discipline, and lifestyle of the Indian Army. The primary aim of the Army Wing is to develop qualities such as leadership, discipline, courage, teamwork, and a strong sense of patriotism among cadets. Through structured training and practical activities, students gain exposure to military-style training while developing confidence, responsibility, and physical fitness.
Cadets in the Army Wing undergo regular training sessions that include drill, map reading, field craft, and battle craft, which are essential components of military training.
Drill is one of the most important activities in NCC training. It involves marching, saluting, and performing coordinated movements according to commands. Drill helps cadets develop discipline, alertness, coordination, and teamwork. Regular parade practice also improves physical fitness and instills a sense of order and responsibility among cadets.
Map Reading is the skill of understanding and interpreting maps to determine locations and directions. Cadets are trained to read topographical maps, understand symbols, measure distances, and use a compass for navigation. This training helps them navigate unfamiliar areas and improves their observation and decision-making abilities.
Field Craft refers to the practical techniques used by soldiers to operate effectively in outdoor and battlefield environments. It includes camouflage, concealment, observation, movement in different terrains, and maintaining safety while in the field. Field craft training teaches cadets how to remain alert, move carefully, and adapt to different environmental conditions.
Battle Craft focuses on the basic tactics used during combat situations. Cadets learn about formations, section movements, attack and defense techniques, and coordination within a group. This training helps cadets understand how soldiers operate as a team during tactical operations.
To support the training of cadets, the Army Wing is equipped with essential infrastructure that allows students to practice and apply these skills effectively.
