The National Defence College (NDC) was inaugurated on April 27, 1960 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India. NDC is a pioneering institute of its type in Asia. The role of the college has remained largely unchanged since 1959, when the President of India sanctioned "the setting up of a National Defence College for providing instruction to senior service and civil officers in the wider aspects of higher direction and strategy of warfare". Today, NDC continues to provide future decision-makers with the necessary skills and background for filling senior positions in national security and associated fields.
