Hyderabad(Telangana) [India], June 30 : Air Commodore VM Reddy assumed the charge of Deputy Director General of NCC Directorate (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana), Secunderabad on Friday. The Air Commodore said that he has plans to expand the NCC into newly formed districts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
"NCC has been growing from strength to strength and we would like to expand this further into new districts which have formed in both the states, especially the coastal area.

"There are more than 1,500 institutes, colleges and schools that want their children to join the NCC. Even that is not possible with the limitation of the strength as of now, but as the days go by, I am sure we will also get clearance for incorporating many more institutions and getting many more students to the NCC," he added.
