NCC National Games 2013: Delhi

   The National Cadet Corps, the worlds largest uniformed youth organization, celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1997. NCC National Games were held as part of the celebrations wherein Football, Hockey and Athletics were included in the event. These competitions at the national level were received with tremendous enthusiasm by the cadets and hence more games continued to get added to the spectrum of events. In the subsequent years, the format was changed to the conduct of different games at the regional levels

   This year onwards, the NCC National Games will be conducted in a centralized format at Delhi. It was felt that conduct of a centralized mega event will expose the talented sportspersons amongst NCC Cadets to get a feel of major sporting event and thus prepare them with requisite match temperament and further their sporting careers. An added aim has also been to showcase and promote low cost indigenous games such as Kabbadi and Kho-Kho. The Services and SAI are providing every possible assistance to the NCC for smooth conduct of the games.

   The beloved mascot ‘Shera’ of Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 was adapted as mascot for the ‘First NCC National Games-2013”, with subtle modifications of including a NCC logo on the chest and a NCC Cap. ‘Shera” was considered an appropriate mascot for the First NCC National Games as it represents – aggressiveness, agility, speed and vigour; all requisite traits in a NCC Cadet.
