During a period of two years, various kinds of physical activities, sports and outdoor camps are conducted in school. On every Monday and Tuesday, cadets are trained by the school staff and PI Staff.
During the camps the cadets enjoy different activities such as yoga, drill, public speaking, singing, dancing, etc. To encourage the cadets various cultural programme are organized and the cadets are felicitated with medals.
The military training which the NCC cadets received was reduced and greater importance was given to other areas like social service and youth-management.
NCC syllabus laid greater stress on developing qualities of leadership and Officer-like qualities.
