TRAINING COMMAND

Prior to 1939, there was hardly any training carried out in India either for pilots or ground engineers, there was no organisation at Air HQ level for this purpose. It was decided to create training facilities in the country itself. To cater to the expansion of the IAF, a Directorate of Training was formed in Air HQ. A Recruits Training Centre (for discipline, drill, etc.) and a non-technical training centre was formed at Lahore. No.1 Technical School at Ambala provided technical training. Air HQ was reorganised in 1948 and on July 22, 1949, No.2 (Training) Group was redesignated as Training Command. Its insignia has a torch with wings in the centre in a circle which is topped by India’s national emblem. Its motto in Sanskrit ‘Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya’ meaning ‘From Darkness, Lead Us Unto Light’ in golden border is placed at the bottom.
