Training is imparted on various skills such as drill, weapon handling, small arms firing, health and hygiene and leadership for the Tri-services (Army, Navy, Air Force ). Sports,cultural events and competitions held are cherry on the cake.

From DRC NCC ,40 Cadets attended the CATC Camp held at NCC Bhawan, Rohini from June 7,2022 to June 16, 2022. The experience not only evolved the cadets as human beings but also filled their pockets with some really glittering and gleeful memories .In the camp, the cadets attended various classes such as lectures on leadership qualities, time management, trust management, group management, crisis and emergency management, group discussion and various aspects of personality development were also included in the training .The main emphasis of the camp was to develop qualities of character, comradeship, discipline, secular outlook, spirit of adventure, sportsmanship, ideals of selfless service .Thus leading to all round development of cadet's personality.

The days of CATC Camp were packed from morning to evening. The reporting time to the most magnificent place i.e. NCC BHAWAN ROHINI on the first day was 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The wake up time in the camp was around 4:30 a.m. as 6 a.m. was the fall in time for the Cadets. This was followed by drills. Afterwards they received their first meal i.e. breakfast of the day which tasted very good and was healthy. The Cadets later had theory classes till 12 noon which really helped them a lot and allowed them to learn new spectrums of life. They did many adventurous activities in this camp including firing practice (held at Shekhawati Firing range, Delhi Cantt). Cadets also learnt many things in theory and practical classes such as FCBC, Map reading ,also about Armed forces which made classes very interesting and interactive too. DRC NCC performed GUARD OF HONOR before other colleges and schools for which they were appreciated by the PI staff , ANOs and GCI Ma'am. The Cadets also had P.T. classes and personality development class in the evening which further nurtured their personalities. They all were very enthusiastic and full of joy but as soon as they heard about competitions being conducted excitement was another level and BATTLE MODE was turned ON .DRC NCC participated in cultural and sports competition , Solo Singing, Group Singing, Group Dance, Kho-Kho, Kabaddi and Volleyball matches which resulted in lots of sweat, sweetness and applause.
