NCC FLAG

The NCC flag for various units of the NCC was first introduced in 1951. The flag was of

same pattern, colour and size as was used by various regiments of the Army. The only

difference was that it had the NCC badge and unit designation placed in the centre. Later on it

was felt that the flag should be in keeping with the inter-service character of the Corps. In

1954 the existing tricolour flag was introduced. The three colours in the flag depict the three

services of the Corps, red for the Army, deep blue for the Navy and light blue for the Air

Force. The letters NCC and the NCC crest in gold in the middle of the flag encircled by a

wreath of lotus, give the flag a colourful look and a distinct identity.

HISTORY OF NCC SONG The desirability of composing a NCC song was considered in the Circle Commanders (now

called DDGs) Conference held in January 1956 and all circles were asked to send their

proposals. The official song of the NCC – “Kadam Mila Ke Chal” was adopted in 1963, and

registered in 1969 with the approval of the Ministry of Defence. In 1974, it was felt that the

NCC song had failed to catch the imagination of the youth, and there was a need for a

change. A sustained process began; entries were invited from Directorates for suitable lyrics;

107 entries were received; of which eight were selected by a Board of Officers. However, all

the eight were considered sub standard by Dr Nagendra of Delhi University, who was the

judge. On the suggestion of Dr Nagendra, the task was entrusted to Shri Chiranjit, the Chief

Producer, Drama Division, AIR, Delhi.

The song written by Shri Chiranjit was approved, in 1976. The Maharashtra Directorate was

asked to get the song composed and recorded with the help of Shri Raj Kapoor, and the Films

Division, Bombay. However, nothing much came out of this exercise as Shri Raj Kapoor was

then busy in making his film “Satyam Shivam Sundaram” and the studios of the Films

Division were under renovation. Later, Shri Mahinder Singh Bedi, a well known poet of

Delhi, was requested to write another song. This effort also proved infructuous. AEC Centre

Pachmarhi was also approached, but somehow the matter could not be finalized.

Almost during the same period and independent of efforts at Directorate General NCC, the

Film Division undertook production of a documentary on NCC ‘A Cadet’ s Diary’. The

Director of the documentary was looking for a suitable song for the film. He happened to

hear the song – ‘Ham Sab Hindi Hain’ which appears to have been first sung at a Youth

Festival at Chandigarh, sometime during 1968-69, and introduced it in the documentary film.

The song was a hit and successive Director Generals (DGs) found it good and played it

repeatedly in Republic Day camps. In 1980, the word ‘Hindi’ was substituted with ‘Bhartiya’.

Come ASIAD (1982), and the NCC got the opportunity to display its potential in the opening

ceremony. The Special Organising Committee approved trial recording of the song for recital

during the Asian Games Festival. The song was finally recorded in its present form,

sometime during Oct 1982, at the Western Outdoor Studio, Delhi with the help of AIR artists,

and musicians under overall supervision of Pandit Vijai Raghavan Rao.

Post ASIAD era in the NCC saw among other events, a well composed musical hit and an

inspiring NCC song being played and sung alongwith recorded music; a 16 mm colour film

had also been made with title ‘Hum Sab Bhartiya Hain’ of 7½ minutes duration. This film

had been telecast twice on national hook up. Other films, ‘Unity and Discipline’; ‘A Cadet’ s

Diary, had also used this song prominently. The writer of this song seems to have been lost in

oblivion. “No body knows” – said Shri SK Sharma, Joint Director, Armed Forces Film and

Photo Division, who was actively involved with the production of documentaries on the

NCC. “This song was not written for the NCC, as such, writes Shri Mathur, ex-publicity

officer, DGNCC, in his notings on the file. But nobody has claimed it so far. Another noting

speaks of Sri Virender Sharma as the lyrics writer, and Sri Vijai Raghavan Rao as the music

composer.

This NCC song is liked by millions of cadets, both past and present, and is sung on all

important occasions of the NCC.
