According to the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, all four entities listed are administered under the Ministry of Defence (MoD), primarily through the Department of Defence:

  • Territorial Army: A voluntary part-time force of the Indian Army that provides support during emergencies and assists in essential services.
  • Hydrographic surveys: The National Hydrographic Office (NHO), which operates under the Indian Navy, is the nodal agency for hydrographic surveys and the production of navigational charts.
  • National Cadet Corps (NCC): A tri-services youth organization that provides basic military training and is managed by the MoD.
  • Coast Guard Organization: Unlike Central Armed Police Forces (which fall under the Ministry of Home Affairs), the Indian Coast Guard is an armed force of the Union administered by the MoD.
