9. The motto of NCC is “Unity and Discipline”. ‘Unity’ implies our basic
oneness, the brotherhood of all the Indian people regardless of their caste,
colour or creed. Likewise, ‘Discipline’ is the very bedrock on which any nation is
founded. It is for these reasons that “Unity and Discipline” has been adopted as
motto of the NCC.
FLAG

Flag was introduced in 1954. There are three colours in the flag, namely, Red,
Navy Blue and Sky Blue, from left to right (when you are facing the flag). The
Red colour is for the Army, Navy Blue for the Navy and Sky Blue for the Air
