HAND GLOUBES

NCC (National Cadet Corps) gloves are a specific part of the uniform worn by cadets during formal occasions. They aren’t just for warmth; they represent discipline, precision, and ceremonial pride.
Here is a detailed description of NCC gloves:
1. Appearance and Color
The most common type used is the White Cotton Glove.
Color: Pure white, symbolizing cleanliness and the high standards of the uniform.
Material: Usually made of lightweight, breathable cotton or a cotton-polyester blend.
Design: They are typically plain with three stitched lines (ribs) on the back of the hand, which adds a formal, structured look.
2. Purpose and Usage
In the NCC, gloves are primarily used for Ceremonial Drill. You will see them during:
Republic Day Parades (RDC): To ensure uniformity among all marching cadets.
Guard of Honour: Worn when welcoming high-ranking officials or VVIPs.
Piloting: Worn by cadets who escort guests to the stage or dais.
Weapon Handling: During drills, they provide a better grip (though they can be slippery) and prevent the sweat from the hands from affecting the shine of the rifle.
