Cadet Welfare Society (CWS) offers following Scholarships
Overview
NCC Cadets Welfare Society was established in Feb 1985 under the Societies Registration Act 1860 in order to provide financial relief to cadets who sustain injury during organized NCC activities or financial assistance to the nominees of the cadet in the event of death during such activities.
The Society started with a one-time grant from Central Govt and State Govts. It levies obligatory membership fee on cadets which is a one time payment at the time of enrolment in any Wing/Div of NCC.
Membership
The membership of the Society is open to only those NCC Cadets who have paid the one time membership fee at the time of enrolment in the NCC at the rate fixed by the Governing Body. Such cadets as have paid their membership fee shall be the beneficiaries of the Society during their cadetship in the Division/Wing in which they are enrolled. The cadets who have discontinued their membership and seek re-enrolment shall be treated as fresh cadets and membership fee shall be charged from them at the time of re-enrolment.
Present membership fee is Rs 10/- per cadet.
Nomination Form
Each cadet on becoming a member of the Society shall fill in a Nomination Form as per the approved Performa. It is an important document and should be filled in carefully without any alteration/cutting. Financial assistance is payable only on production of the original nomination form.
