The Central government has allotted nearly 5000 Junior Division (JD) Wing vacancies in NCC in the fully self-financing scheme.
According to PIB (Defence) Imphal, this move comes after long pending demand of numerous schools which could not introduce NCC due to limited vacancies.
The Centre's decision will also benefit the students who are keen to join NCC and contribute in nation building, along with getting 'A' certificate which will not only help them to get admission in professional colleges but also accrue benefit in getting jobs.
The release also stated that cadets will not only get basic military training but the opportunity to attend camps, trekking programmes, mountaineering courses, leadership development capsules at a national level besides participating in various social service and community development activities.
NCC North Eastern Region additional director general Maj Gen Ananta Bhuyan stated that schools which are interested in getting out of turn allotment in full self-financing schemes can approach their nearest NCC offices, the release further informed.
