New Delhi: Indian Army today celebrated the 102nd anniversary of the raising of Army Educational Corps (AEC).

The Army Training Command (ARTRAC) of the Indian Army  said in a tweet, "GOCinC ARTRAC extends his heartfelt felicitations to All Ranks, Civilians & Families of #AEC Training C & C on the occasion of 102 Corps Day of Army Educational Corps on 01 Jun 22 & wishes the institute with continued success, good health & prosperity in all future endeavours."

The history of the Corps dates back to 1921 when the mass scale of illiteracy amongst the Indian soldiers were prevalent. Since then, many remarkable developments have seen AEC grow over the years adapting seamlessly to the rapid growth of education and technology as also the organisational needs.

The Corps is rendering yeoman service in conduct of Map Reading training, Academic training at Pre-Commission Training Academies, capability development in foreign languages, Military Music, handling of Right to Information cases and shaping young minds in various Rashtriya Military Schools and Sainik Schools.

Implementation of informal educational programmes like IGNOU Army Education Project (IAEP) and NIOS Education Project for Indian Army (NEPIA) to ensure continuing education for personnels, wards and dependents are other notable initiatives undertaken by the Corps.

As the field of knowledge and education expands aligning itself to the technology advancement, the Army Educational Corps is prepared to meet the emerging challenges and the organisational needs in time to come.
