Introduction

“With the development of the new political structure in India, the Defence of India must be to an increasing extent, the concern of the Indian people and not of the British Government alone.”

Pre - Independence Military Training In Colleges

After the First World War (August 5, 1921), the Indian Defence Force (IDF) was replaced by the Indian Territorial Force (ITF), of which the University Training Corps (UTC) forms a very important part. The UTC units were raised primarily with a view to obtain the recruits for the Officers Posts in Territorial Battalions.
In 1921, Fergusson College started the UTC unit with two platoons. In 1926, the UTC strength of Fergusson College increased from two to three platoons. In June 1930, one platoon of the College of Engineering was transferred to the Fergusson College and since then Fergusson College enjoyed the privilege of contributing full company- a Coy and was reputed as The Best Drilling Company.
