National Capital Territory

A National Capital Territory (NCT) is a designated area that serves as the administrative and political center of a country, typically housing the central government, important institutions, and landmarks. It functions as the capital city and its surrounding regions, often with special administrative status to ensure governance, security, and functionality. For example, Delhi in India is an NCT, comprising New Delhi, which is the seat of government and diplomatic missions. The NCT's purpose is to centralize key government activities and symbolize national unity and identity.
