National Cadet Corps (N.C.C)
Brief Histroy of NCC Dte West Bengal & Sikkim
(a) Pre Partition
Kolkata was capital of India under British rule. University of Calcutta was raised in 1917 and its first parade took place at Kolkata on 03 Nov 1917 at Presidency College.
(b) Post Independence upto 1962
In July 1948 the state of West Bengal was allotted 20,000 Junior Div cadets to raise NCC units. Consequently No 1, 2 and 3 Bengal Bns were raised. The first two units were located at Fort William, Kolkata and third at Serampore with enrolled strength of 1725. In 1950 HQ 4 Circle Cadet Corps was formed, comprising of states of West Bengal, Orissa and Assam. Later on each of the States raised their own circle HQs. By 1958 the enrolled strength increased to 21,156 and the No of units increased to 19. Consequent to the decision taken at the Inter University Board in 1962, NCC training was made compulsory for all able bodied male college students for three years, while it remained voluntary for girls. In Nov 1962 the Union Territory of Andamans and Nicobar came in the fold of NCC and 4 Circle Cadet Corps was then redesignated as National Cadet Corps Directorate West Bengal & Andamans having a cadet strength of 1,29,000 under the control of 14 Gp HQs with a NCC HQ at Port Blair.
(c) Post 1963
In 1965, Auxiliary Cadet Corps was merged into NCC as Junior Wing. In 1968 compulsory NCC was abolished and the reduction of tenure from three to two years, extendable by one year resulting in reducing the strength of cadets and the number of Gp HQs reduced to seven. Consequent to merger of Sikkim to India, the Dte was redesignated as Dte of West Bengal, Sikkim & Andamans on 01 Apr 1976. On 31 Mar 1987, the Islands of Andaman and Nicobar were transferred to the jurisdiction of Tamil Nadu Dte and the Dte was redesignated as NCC Directorate West Bengal & Sikkim with Six Gp HQs.
