History of NCC

• In 1948, the NCC was established in India. Its origins can be found in the "University Corps," which was established under the Indian Defence Act of 1917 with the intention of filling a manpower gap in the Army. The "University Corps" was replaced by the "University Training Corps" in 1920 after the passage of the Indian Territorial Act (UTC).

• It was a big step in the direction of "Indianizing".

• In order for the National Cadet Corps to be seen as the successor to the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC), which was founded by the Government of India in 1942, it was renamed the UOTC. The UOTC never lived up to the standards set by the British during World War II.
