National Cadet Corps (NCC) – ARMY WING
Our Institution is an old and renowned one having celebrated Golden Jubilee in the year 2013. NCC Army wing of our college has been functioning since1962. At that time our NCC unit was under Salem Independent NCC Company.
Being a retired Army Personal our former President of Kandaswami Kandar’s Trust Mr.M.Rathinasabapathi evinced keen interest in NCC and promoted the NCC wing of our College.
Our College is rural based and the students who hail from remote villages are of robust health. Having trained in NCC they have been selected in the Army Recruitment and State Police service. R.Saravanan was awarded Gold medal in Obstacle Course at National level in the year 1993. NCC cadet Mr.M.Ramakrishnan was awarded “All India Best Cadet Trophy” in the Republic Day Camp at New Delhi on 2001. Our College NCC cadets have been participating in Republic Day camps at New Delhi since 1962 regularly.
The strength of our NCC Senior Division (Boys) is 52 and Senior wing (Girls) is 56. The Training is conducted as per the direction of the Commanding Officer 15(TN) Battalion NCC, Erode. Under the able guidance of our Principal Dr.N.Thangaraj who himself was the previous NCC officer of our College the NCC of our College is performing admirably.
Our College NCC unit has organized many social service activities like Blood Donation Camp, Tree Plantation, Anti Tobacco Rally Aids Awareness Programme and so on.
