History of NCC Girls’ Unit in Santipur College
Santipur College has a long and proud association with the National Cadet Corps. The Boys’ NCC Unit of the college was established in 1958, giving young male students an opportunity to develop discipline, leadership qualities, and a spirit of national service. Over the decades , the unit played a vital role in shaping responsible citizens and inspiring many to pursue careers in the defence services and other fields of public service.
With the growing participation of women in every sphere of life and the recognition of their equal role in nation-building, the need was felt to provide a similar platform for the female students of the college. This led to the establishment of the Girls’ NCC Wing, ensuring that young women too could benefit from the values of unity, discipline, courage, and service that NCC instills.
The introduction of the Girls’ Wing not only broadened the scope of NCC activities in Santipur College but also empowered the girl cadets to take part in parades, community service, adventure camps, and national-level events with equal enthusiasm. Today, both boys and girls proudly wear the NCC uniform, carrying forward the tradition of dedication, discipline, and patriotism that has been nurtured in the college for decades.
