Section 13 of NCC : Section 13: Power To Make Rules

Explanation using Example

Imagine a local high school wants to establish a National Cadet Corps (NCC) unit to provide military training to its students. The school administration contacts the Central Government to understand the process and requirements. They are informed that the Central Government has established rules under Section 13 of The National Cadet Corps Act, 1948, which they must follow.

These rules include:

• The school must meet certain conditions to be allowed to raise an NCC unit, such as having adequate infrastructure and a minimum number of interested students.
• Only students who meet certain eligibility criteria, such as age and physical fitness, as prescribed under the rules, can enroll in the NCC.
• The enrolled students must undergo a medical examination before they start their training.
• Once enrolled, the students have to complete preliminary and periodic military training as per the prescribed curriculum.
• The rules also outline the military obligations, discipline requirements, and the powers and duties of the officers who will be training the cadets.
• The school is informed about the allowances or remuneration that will be provided to the cadets and officers.
• In case of any disciplinary issues, the rules provide a framework for the removal or discharge of cadets.
• Additionally, the rules specify the offences and trial procedures for cadets who may violate the NCC code of conduct.

The school administration reviews these rules and proceeds to establish the NCC unit, ensuring compliance with the Central Government's regulations. After the rules are made, they are presented before both Houses of Parliament to ensure transparency and the opportunity for legislative oversight. This ensures that the rules are in line with national interests and the objectives of the NCC program.
