Genesis:-

The Cadet Corps Committee which was formed on 29 Sep 1946 with Pt HN Kunzru as chairman held six meetings in South Block, New Delhi. At the same time, Pt HN Kunzru formed sub-committees which were sent on study tours in all the main provinces of pre-independent India including provinces which are now located in Bangladesh and Pakistan. One sub-committee was also sent on tour to Great Britain and France from 15 Feb 1947 to 31 Mar 1947 to study the Youth and Cadet organisations in those countries. Sub-committees submitted their report to the Govt of India in Mar 1947.

On the stroke of midnight of 14/15 Aug 1947, India achieved her independence. Immediately after independence, India was confronted with problems of formidable magnitude concerning not only repatriation of millions of displaced persons from Pakistan but also a full scale invasion of Kashmir by the Armed tribesmen supported by Pakistan.

The Kashmir War of 1948 underscored the need for strong Armed Forces. The recommendations of Kunzuru committee were placed before the Constituent Assembly (Legislature). A draft Bill was sent to the Constituent Assembly (Legislative) on 19 Mar 1948. The Bill was passed by the Assembly on 08 Apr 1948. The Central Govt accepted formation of a Cadet Corps which was to be named as “National Cadet Corps”. The Bill received the assent of the Governor General on 16 Apr 1948, and the National Cadet Corps came into being by an Act of the Parliament Act No. XXXI of 1948 designated ‘The National Cadet Corps Act 1948’.
