        1.  NCC plays a vital role in growth and development of country by grooming its most precious
        resource, the youth. In order to attain our national goals it is imperative that our training encapsulates
        and embeds the qualities and attributes in our cadets.
        2.  For NCC cadets, Camps are the most exciting and meaningful part of training, wherein
        cadets get exposure to the merits of NCC. Camps are organized at various levels i.e. Unit, Group
        HQ, Directorate and Republic Day (RD) Camp. These Camps serve to motivate the young students.
        NCC must conduct the Camps in an ingenious, pragmatic, transparent, flawless and efficient
        manner at all levels. A large number of dignitaries visit NCC Republic Day Camp an annual event
        for the NCC Cadets held at HQ DG NCC Camp at Delhi Cantonment. During this Camp Inter
        Directorate Competitions are conducted which contribute towards the award of prestigious Republic
        Day Banner. For such a prestigious Camp it is must that modalities for conduct of the competition
        be well defined. This book has been compiled in two volumes to achieve this aim.
        3.  Volume I of Standing Instructions lays down the detailed organization of RD Camp, norms
        of administration and details of training to be carried out during RD Camp.  The duties of NCC
        Directorates, Camp Appointments, Officers & Cadets has been worked out based on the experience
        and good practices.
        4.  Volume II of Standing Instructions lays down detailed rules for conduct of all Inter Directorate
        Competitions in NCC.
        5.  While the last edition of Volume I was published in 1994, Volume II was issued in 2010.
        Various changes & modification have been done due to environment realities, feedback received
        & aspiration of the cadets, which yielded in positive dynamism in the organisation. There was a felt
        need to compile these modifications and produce an updated Standing Instruction (Red Book).
        6.  I am confident that this new edition of Red Book will serve to guide all in conduct of
        competitions and make NCC Republic Day Camp a professionally executed event.
