NCC directorate gets 6,300 new vacancies

Chandigarh, May 12

The central government has allotted 6,300 additional vacancies for junior division NCC cadets in schools in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh under the fully self-financing scheme

The long-awaited move is a part of the expansion plan for the NCC under which the government had approved an additional one lakh vacancies for out-of-turn allotment to private or quasi-government schools which agree to bear all the training expenses. Institutes having at least 500 students on their roll can be allotted one company strength of around 150 cadets without any cost to the exchequer.

The move comes in the wake of the demand from numerous schools who could not introduce NCC due to limited vacancies. — TNS
