BENGALURU: Lt General Tarun Kumar Aich, Director General of NCC, said that major initiatives have been taken to introduce NCC as an elective subject in the new National Education Policy (NEP).

Speaking during his visit to the NCC Directorate, Karnataka and Goa at Bengaluru, he said, “A lot of work has been done in taking various universities, colleges and schools to implement the NEP. Now, the issue needs to be pursued vigorously for the successful implementation.”

He also inaugurated the first 0.22 Rifle Simulator of NCC, which has been setup at NCC Group headquarter-B and awarded DG NCC Commendation Cards and Medallions to the meritorious cadets for their sterling performance during the year. 

He asserted that over 7,800 schools and colleges are waiting to seek affiliation of the NCC, which has planned to expand its footprint in the coastal and border areas of various states and enhance its authorised strength in a phased manner. Fully self-financing scheme is yet another step in this direction which will provide a unique opportunity to a number of schools and colleges to include NCC in their curriculum.
