"About NCOA"
The National Confederation of Officers Associations of Central Public Sector Undertakings (NCOA) was formed in 1985 as an Apex Body of Officers of Central Public Sector Undertakings. It has organized the Officers of the Central Public Sector under one roof, in order to provide them with a sense of identity. When the Govt, of India started disinvestments the definition of Central Public Sector Undertaking for the purpose of membership was changed to mean any undertaking in which the Government of India had a commercial presence by way of equity.
