P A G E ■ 2 The Beginning The necessity for a premier national institution, National Defence College (NDC) was felt long before for conducting training, research and education on leadership, defence, security, strategy and development studies. The journey started when the then Honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, laid the foundation stone of the Academic Complex of NDC on 10 January 1998 at Mirpur Cantonment. However, the first National Defence Course commenced in the campus of Defence Services Command and Staff College on 10 January 1999. Construction of the present academic building was completed on 22 November 2000. Since then, National Defence College has been fully devoted to its assigned responsibilities.
