Unity and Discipline. Since 1950, we've trained cadets in leadership, aviation, and service — a squadron record that keeps growing, one cadet at a time.
More than a unit —
a family in service
1 Bengal Air Squadron NCC is bound by discipline, service, and the spirit of adventure. We shape cadets into leaders, instill courage in their hearts, and inspire excellence in all they do.
This platform is our digital parade ground — a single record for updates, activities, training, achievements, and opportunities. Whether you're soaring in the skies, excelling in academics, or leading in drills, your journey is recorded, celebrated, and shared here.
Through the motto “Unity and Discipline”, we keep every cadet connected, informed, and inspired — because once a cadet, always a cadet.
