Abstract: This research article presents a systematic review of literature on the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in India. The study aims to explore the various facets of the NCC’s role in shaping the character and development of the youth. With the NCC transitioning from a co-curricular activity to a credit course, there is a need to investigate the implications and potential benefits of this shift. The research objectives include assessing the quantity of research conducted on the NCC, exploring the presence of similar voluntary youth organizations in different countries, investigating the objectives of the NCC in school and college settings, and examining the positive outcomes associated with NCC participation. The findings reveal a limited quantity of research on the NCC, despite its significant impact on youth development. Only India and Bangladesh have voluntary youth organizations similar to the NCC, highlighting its uniqueness. There is a lack of research specifically targeting the objectives of the NCC in educational environments, indicating a gap in understanding. However, the available studies report positive outcomes such as unity in diversity, employability, mental health, and patriotism among NCC cadets. While acknowledging the limitations of the present review, including the need for more comprehensive research and potential bias in the findings, this study calls for further research on the NCC. Future studies should explore the objectives of the NCC in educational settings, understand the mechanisms underlying positive outcomes, and employ longitudinal, quantitative as well as qualitative research approaches. This research contributes to understanding the NCC’s impact on youth development, identifying future research needs which can identify best teaching practices and suggest policy decisions in the field of education.
