The academic affiliation acknowledges the depth, discipline, and societal relevance of ANO training. It not only enhances the professional credentials of ANOs but also strengthens their role in youth leadership, nation-building, and character development.
By bridging structured military training with mainstream higher education, this pioneering collaboration is set to attract more qualified educators into the NCC, expanding its national footprint of committed mentors and role models.
The MoU marks a transformational step in aligning ANO training with academic advancement, reinforcing the NCC’s mission to shape future-ready citizens for a stronger nation.
