National Cadet Corps

31 Bengal Bn. NCC(Boys') & 1 Bengal Bn. NCC(Girls')

The National Cadet Corps Act was passed in the year 1948 under which the Central Government might constitute one or more unit of corps in any state; the members of which shall be recruited amongst the students of any university or school. There are three divisions in the corps namely: (1) the Senior Division the recruitment of which is made from the male students of the university, (2) the Junior Division where male cadets are recruited from any school and (3) the Girls Division where recruitment is made from the female students of any university or school.

In our college there are two separate companies both for boys and girls. The Boys' coy began its journey in 1965, the year in which the college was founded. Due to some problems the activities of our coy was discontinued for some years. In December 1991 the boys coy resumed its activities as the 3 rd Coy in the unit 31 Bengal Battalion NCC, Fort William under Calcutta B-group in West Bengal and Sikkim Directorate. The Girls' company was set up in 2003 under 1 st Bengal Bn. NCC. From the beginning our coy has enriched itself under the proper guidance of the Care Taker Officer Mr. Durgadas Bhattacharyya who served the NCC for six years. Mr. Chandan Kumar Goswami took over the charge from Mr. Bhattacharyya in 1999.

We have enrolled 120 boys' cadets and 26 girls' cadet in two separate companies for the year 2004-05. The students are imparted a good deal of knowledge in Physical Training (PT), Drill, Firing, Field Crafts, Camp Setting etc. Previously cadets were trained near the fields of the college; but since 1993 the classes have been taken on Sunday morning in the premises of Fort William , Calcutta .
