National Cadet Corps (NCC)

“Men, Money and Materials cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the Motive-Power that will inspire us to do brave deeds and heroic exploits.”

-Subhash Chandra Bose

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a prestigious youth organization that plays a significant role in cultivating discipline, unity, and patriotism among students across India. With the proud introduction of NCC this year, Mahindra University is providing its students with a wealth of opportunities to cultivate discipline, leadership, and a community-focused mindset.

The NCC at the college level offers a wealth of opportunities and benefits for students. It provides a structured platform for character development, fostering qualities like resilience, confidence, and responsibility. Through rigorous training in leadership, survival skills, physical fitness, and adventure sports, students build discipline and teamwork—skills that prepare them for diverse career paths and equip them to face real-world challenges with confidence and determination.

Moreover, NCC serves as a forum for developing empathy and civic responsibility. Cadets actively engage in society through initiatives such as cleanliness drives, community service, and awareness campaigns, gaining a deeper understanding of societal challenges. These experiences instill a strong sense of social responsibility, empowering students to make meaningful contributions to their communities.

The first batch of NCC cadets consists of 29 students, selected by the NCC team amongst 85+ students from the trials. Over the period of three years, Mahindra University aims to have a strong contingent of 90 well-trained NCC cadets.
