Bangladesh National Cadet Corps:
Under the Indian Territorial Forces Act 1923, University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) was launched in the University of Dhaka in 1927 to impart military training to university students. In 1971, after the country gained independence by a liberation war, its scope and facilities were extended to the other government Universities and more battalions were raised.
Bangladesh National Cadet Corps, better known as BNCC was formed in March 1979 when all the UOTC battalions of the universities and other institutions were merged.
The objectives:
To develop individual character, leadership qualities and
comradeship in young men and women.
To provide military training to young men and women so as
to stimulate their interest in the defense of the country.
To provide disciplined volunteers for nations' development
programmes and during natural calamities.
To provide a second line of defense in the wake of external aggression.
To build up a reserve of potential leaders for
various walks of national life, including the Armed Forces.
