Abstract: Holistic Education seeks multi-fold growth to generate well-balanced personalities. The ideal child will be intellectually sophisticated, morally upright, emotionally upstanding, physically sound, socially adept, spiritually mature, economically independent, and globally liberal. The study's objective is to assess whether it is justifiable offering NCC Studies as an elective credit course in higher education institutes to align with NEP 2020 and the impact of phased military-oriented curriculum of NCC combining extracurricular and curricular activities that can give students access to a perfect and vibrant social environment. For a long time, the NCC has been one of India's leading institutions for developing young adults. From soft skills to military training enhancing all round development and developing leaders of tomorrow, the NCC has long been one of India's premier and pioneer institutions. Outcome of this endeavor implies that traditional education and teaching cannot prepare young minds for future life due to the rising complexities of life, society, and unhealthy competition and lacks constructive approach to resolve this grave issue. The NEP 2020 envisages that after graduating, instead of leaving them in limbo, preparing them for life through a military-oriented holistic education curriculum (NCC Studies) is vital. The NCC Studies allows youngsters to increase their knowledge, skills, talents, and employment prospects, including opportunities to join the military at various levels. It is deemed necessary to achieve this goal by understanding military pedagogy. The Central and state governments should support grants and subsidies for establishing more NCC units.
