NCC Cadets Now Eligible for AC 3-Tier Train Travel for NCC Camps

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) has introduced a significant update to its travel policy, ensuring greater comfort for its cadets and officers during official journeys. The competent authority has approved AC 3 Tier class travel for all NCC cadets undertaking train journeys in connection with NCC camps.

This entitlement also extends to Associate NCC Officers (ANOs) accompanying the cadets for such camps, allowing them to travel in the same class.

This decision reflects the NCC's commitment to improving the welfare of its members, ensuring that cadets and officers can focus on their training and activities without the added strain of uncomfortable travel conditions. The AC 3 Tier class, known for its air-conditioned comfort and better amenities, marks a notable upgrade from previous travel arrangements.

The NCC, a tri-services organization comprising the Army, Navy, and Air Force, engages school and college students in various training programs, including camps that foster leadership, discipline, and patriotism.

This new entitlement is expected to further support cadets participating in centrally organized camps, such as National Integration Camps (NIC) and Naval Wing camps, by reducing the financial and physical burden of travel.

This move has been welcomed as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the NCC experience, aligning with existing financial benefits like travel allowances and stipends provided during camps. The initiative underscores the organization's dedication to nurturing the next generation of leaders while ensuring their well-being during their journey.
