History

NCC Officers Training Academy: A Heritage of Excellence

The NCC Officers Training Academy (OTA) is housed in a magnificent heritage building constructed in 1889. This historic structure has served various purposes over the years:

Royal Guest House of the Scindia: Initially, the building was used as a royal guest house by the Scindia dynasty.
Headquarters of the 17 Infantry Division: It later served as the headquarters for the 17 Infantry Division.
Grand Hotel (1946–1964): From 1946 to 1964, it functioned as the Grand Hotel.

In June 1964, the Ministry of Defence acquired the Grand Hotel for the National Cadet Corps (NCC). Subsequently, on 10th July 1965, the building was inaugurated as the NCC College for Women by the then Defence Minister, Shri Y. B. Chavan.

In 2002, the institution was re-designated as the NCC Officers Training Academy (OTA).

We are proud to share that, to date, approximately 12,240 Associate NCC Lady Officers have successfully graduated from this prestigious institution, continuing its legacy of excellence.

“Stand up, be bold, be strong, take the whole responsibility on your shoulders and know, that you are, the creator, of your own destiny.”

Swami Vivekanand

The seventeen lotuses represent the 17 State Directorates. “Unity of Discipline” (Ekta aur Anushasan) is written at the bottom of the NCC Flag.

Our Motto

Unity and Discipline (Ekta aur Anushasan)

Our Mission

Our mission is to train the trainers who, after successfully passing the course, can run institutional training in their respective institutions and effectively contribute to creating a trained, motivated, and resourceful youth who can lead in all walks of life. The National Cadet Corps was started as the “University Corps” in 1917 and came into being in its present form on 16 July 1948 by an Act of Parliament. To begin with, the National Cadet Corps had a modest strength of 1.7 lakh boy cadets. Girl cadets were added later, in 1949. The Air Wing was added in 1950, and the Naval Wing in 1952, thus making the National Cadet Corps a tri-services organization. The National Cadet Corps aims at developing character qualities in the youth to make them good and responsible citizens of society and worthy leaders of the future in every walk of life. The cadet strength is in the process of being increased to 17 lakhs. The intake of girl cadets is also going to increase from 30% to 40%. To impart purposeful training to these cadets, NCC needs trainers or lady officers at the school and college level. The Academy is the only one of its kind in Asia and is meant for training NCC Whole Time Lady Officers, Lady Associate NCC Officers, and Girl Cadet Instructors.

The school also runs periodical refresher courses for these officers. Since 2004, this institution has been entrusted with the responsibility of conducting Personality Development Courses for eligible girl cadets to prepare them for the SSB. This Academy also conducts Part I of PRCN training for Lady Associate NCC Officers of the Air and Naval Wings of NCC.
