What is UDAAN

UDAAN stands for United & Disciplined Alumni Association Network.

UDAAN represents a set of aspirations that rests in the hearts of millions of former NCC Cadets (NCC alumni)

BRIEF HISTORY OF UDAAN

In 2013-15 under the leadership of Mr Dheeraj Kumar of Ex- Cadet of Naval Unit NCC, a group of former NCC Cadets were organised into a voluntary team called Unity of Indian Cadets (UIC) with an its objective to establish an ideal citizen community, render social service and sustain the umbilical cord with the parent NCC Organization. Later they approached Group Commander NCC Patna, with a proposal to jointly work with NCC. Brigadier Ran Vijay Singh enthusiastically guided, mentored and employed this enthusiastic group in activities that provided leadership training, empowered them and engaged them in socially useful work in close association with NCC Group Patna. By fortunate happenstance, Traffic SP Patna then was Shri Prantosh Das, also took keen interest, and further expanded the activities under his mentorship with special emphasis on Traffic Control Duties in Patna, using the provisions of Police Act 1861 very effectively. Thus UIC transformed into Community Traffic Police (CTP).

Having worked tirelessly & effectively for the past seven years, CTP established its credentials. By 2019-20, it had grown to over 5000 cadets, with more eager to join and work in close coordination with Bihar Administration. Soon the CTPs presence expanded from Patna to whole of Bihar and won numerous accolades for its contribution to community service, disaster management, Traffic Safety and adventure activities in partnership with NCC Dte B&J under the guidance of Maj Gen RK Gupta, ADG NCC B&J and Brig Pravin Kumar Group Commander Patna.

In Mar 2020, when the World was hit by Corona pandemic, CTP volunteers in large numbers joined hands with NCC and State Govt to fight Corona, thus displaying the untapped potential of CTTP volunteers. And thus evolved the idea of UDAAN. The inspirational force behind creation of UDAAN, and envisioning its future, is its founding Father. Under his mentorship, and ably supported by Shri Sanjay Goenka, a distinguished NCC Alumni himself, UDDAN was registered as an NGO (not for profit section 8 Company) on 15 Jan 2021, with nine Core Members handpicked by the father of UDAAN.
