Kunjru, aims to develop qualities like character, comradeship, discipline, secular outlook, spirit of adventure, sportsmanship, selfless service of the country, etc. in the cadets. It also aims to create a pool of organized, trained and motivated youth with leadership qualities in all walks of life, who will serve the Nation regardless of which career they choose. Needless to say, the NCC also provides an environment conducive to motivating young Indians to join the armed forces. NCC air wing organizes many camps throughout the year in which the youth are trained professionally by PI staffs from Indian Air Force. Cadets are awarded 'B' and 'C' certificates, which enable them to obtain 5-10% advantage in securing employment with Armed forces, Police and CRPF. In addition, NCC also provides various kinds of scholarships. Camps in adventure sports including parasailing, firing, paragliding and hot air balloons are organized every year. Besides, it also holds Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat Camp (EBSBC), Basic Leadership Camp (BLC) and Annual Training Camp (ATC),All India Vayu Sainik Camp (AIVSC),trekking and mountaineering camps, etc.
