The National Defence College (NDC) was established in April 1960. National Defence College of India located in New Delhi is the highest seat of strategic learning from Indian Defence and Civil Services Officers of the rank of Brigadier or Joint Secretary. This is a very prestigious course attended only by a few hand-picked defence officers of Brigadier (one-star General) rank and from friendly foreign countries. Each year, approximately 25 officers from countries like the USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Nepal, UAE and other attend the course. This college provides strategic leadership to the government of India in national and international security matters and also acts as a think-tank on defence matters and holds a very important position in shaping up the Indian defence outlook.
