Re: Indian Army Corps of Signals
Indian Army Corps of Signals is a corps and an arm of the Indian Army, which handles its military communications which was formed in 1911 as a separate entity and went on to make important contributions to World War I and World War II. The corps celebrated its 100-year anniversary of its raising in 2011. The Corps works closely with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop command and control software, notably the Samyukta Electronic Warfare System, a mobile integrated electronic warfare system, developed along with Bharat Electronics Limited. The Military College of Telecommunication Engineering (MCTE), Mhow is a premiere training institute of the Corps of Signals, while its war museum is situated at Jabalpur, where 1 Signal Regiment is based. Training Centres 1 Signals Training Centre This centre consists of a Headquarter, a Military Training Regiment, Technical Training Regiments, and a Depot Regiment and is responsible for imparting military and technical training to recruits first time joining the Corps and also for upgrading and conversion training for various trades and categories at later stages. 2 Signals Training Centre Goa was chosen for its sylvan surroundings and the fact that it offered certain ready -built accommodation which originally was used by the Portuguese garrison. What possibly was lost in the jumble of bureaucratic paper work was the fact that Goa is not a city by itself, but comprises of numerous small townships spread throughout its area. The accommodation available was dispersed in all over the island. A decision however having been taken, 2 Signal Centre was raised at Panaji (then known as Panjim) in 1962.
