NCC in Army Public School Kanpur
NCC was introduced in APS Kanpur in the year 1998 for JDA/JWA , 2014 for SDA/SWA and 2019 for Air Wing with an objective of training the youth into disciplined and patriotic citizens.
APS Kanpur has successfully taken up NCC for the boys and girls of class VIII to XII in the past years thereby enabling them for a brighter and progressive future. We have 100 cadets for JDA/JWA ,50 cadets for SDA/SWA and 50 cadets in Air Wing associated with 59 UP BN NCC/3 UP AIR SQN NCC. 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.
