| Introduction | We trained in the Officers Training School(OTS), Madras. OTS heritage can be traced back to the Second World War, when the necessity of training of selected Indians for the commissioned ranks in the Army was felt inevitable. Seven Officers Training Schools were established in India during the period 1942-45. However these were closed down after the War. In the wake of the Chinese Aggression in October 1962, National Emergency was declared and the requirement of more number of officers in the Army was felt. Due to paucity of time, the Government decided to recruit Emergency Commissioned Officers and hence two Officers Training Schools were established – one at Madras, and the other at Poona in January 1963. The school at Poona was closed down on 09 May 1964, but I continued to function. I trained SSNT-2 from 20 Jun 1966 to 22 Apr 1967. SSNT-2 Course was commissioned on 23 April 1967. I was renamed in 1988 as Officers Training Academy (OTA). I continue doing my bit. |
