The motto of NCC is “UNITY AND DISCIPLINE” and it aims to impart military and
leadership training to the country’s youth to mould future leaders.

St. Xavier’s College NCC was formed in 1950 under the able leadership of Prof P C
Neogi. It falls under the jurisdiction of 20 Bengal Battalion NCC. Presently the company
