JEXCA NA Inc., was registered in
New Jersey in January 2001 as a non-profit "tax-exempt" (501C
applied for) organization independent of the JEXCA NA alumni association. The
objective is to provide educational, social, welfare and volunteer based
services to the the needy in Bangladesh as well as to the "JEXCAites" -
alumni of Jhenidah Cadet College (JCC) who are permanently based in
the United States and Canada.
It also participates in humanitarian and educational based activities in
Bangladesh by raising funds from JEXCAites and Non-JEXCAites in USA
and elsewhere and delivering them either
directly or through the Dhaka-based alumni organization
of Jhenidah Cadet College (JCC) called "JEXCA".
In
Bangladesh, cadet colleges are premier residential based institutions
run by the Ministry of Defense offering schooling from grade VII to
grade XII. JCC is one of them. The students are addressed as "Cadets".
Some of them join the Bangladesh Army while others pursue higher
studies.
The Adjutant General of Bangladesh Army is the ex-officio Chairman
of the governing body of Jhenidah Cadet College.
The institution is located in Jhenidah, close to the southern border town of Jessore.
It was established in 1964. The first batch of
cadets graduated in 1970 and JEXCA, its alumni association was formed in Dhaka in 1973 with less than a hundred
members. There are currently more than 1,500 registered
members from all over the world. The actual number of JEXCAites may be more
though.
