NATIONAL CADET CORPS

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) at Bahra University offers a wide range of training programs and activities that help students develop leadership, discipline, and teamwork. The Army Wing of the NCC at Bahra University is affiliated with the 7 Himachal Pradesh (HP) Battalion, headquartered in Shimla, which provides cadets with a variety of opportunities to hone their skills. Throughout the year, cadets participate in several important camps such as the Annual Training Camps (ATC), which focus on physical fitness, drill practice, weapon training, obstacle courses, map reading, and first-aid. Additionally, Leadership Training Camps (LTC) are held to develop the leadership qualities of cadets through problem-solving exercises, personality development workshops, and commanding teams. The highlight for many cadets is the chance to be selected for the prestigious Republic Day Camp (RDC) in Delhi, where they participate in the Republic Day Parade and engage in cultural exchange programs.

NCC cadets at Bahra University are also actively involved in Social Service and Community Development Camps, where they engage in blood donation drives, environmental awareness campaigns, and educational programs for underprivileged children. These camps help instill a sense of social responsibility and community service among the cadets. The university also organizes Adventure Camps, including activities like trekking, rock climbing, and river rafting, which foster resilience, decision-making, and camaraderie. In addition to these specialized camps, cadets participate in regular activities such as physical training, weekly drills, and guest lectures by army veterans, which further enhance their physical fitness, discipline, and knowledge.

To further enrich the NCC experience at Bahra University, various Commanding Officers and higher-ranking officers from the 7 Himachal Pradesh (HP) Battalion have visited the campus. These visits are invaluable as they provide cadets with firsthand insights into the functioning of the Indian Army and the role of the NCC in national security and service. During these visits, officers conduct motivational sessions, share their experiences, and guide cadets on the importance of discipline, leadership, and patriotism. Their presence not only boosts the morale of the cadets but also offers them an opportunity to interact with experienced military personnel, fostering a deeper understanding of military life and service.
