The objective of this camp is a process by which diverse youth and culture are synthesized into a unified whole in order to achieve harmony, common identity and above all national consciousness. The aspiration of this camp is to assimilate the entire youth into a common identity i.e. NCC Cadets.
The NCC owes its popularity among the youth, primarily due to its Armed Forces ethos, who perceive the Armed Forces as the finest institution of our Nation. All training in the NCC is conducted in a military environment, so as to help the cadets inculcate the finer qualities of our military heritage. It helps in developing discipline and ability to work hard, which gives them a sense of purpose and helps them overcome the trials, tribulations and complexities of their adolescent years.
