Army Education Corps (AEC)Army Education Corps, is one of the instrumental corps in shaping the future combatants of Indian Army.The Army Education Corps came into being on June 1, 1947 with 40 regular officers, 40 short service commissioned officers, 120 JCOs and 400 other ranks. At present, it has an active strength of about 500 officers, 6000 JCOs and NCOs as well as 100 odd civilians scattered across the country. With its training centre at Pachmarhi, the Corps has been playing the key-role in enhancing the educational standard of troops.The Corps played a key role in enhancing the educational and professional standard of troops to a great extent during the post-independence era. The Corps personnel are widely scattered and were found playing their part in all garrison's, headquarters, training centres, units, establishments, sainik schools, military schools, colleges and selection centres.The human resources development centres run by AEC personnel function as nodal centres to impart SSC-level education, training in foreign and regional languages and communication skills, Army Cadet College cadre classes, certificate education, map reading and music training.Army Education Corps, depending upon the requirement ,can be posted to field areas, but probablity of the same statistically rare, as most of the training academies and Institutions are well equipped nowadays as compared to previous decades.The primary charter of the Corps centres around human resource development specific to the evolving combat imperatives, and in response to the changing organizational needs and ongoing general re-structuring, the Corps incorporates inherent flexibility to extend its functional role into other related areas.Formation Of The Indian Army Educational CorpsThe mass scale of literacy amongst the Indian soldiers, the inadequacy of the education system and the need to prepare the Indian soldiers for the post-war period inspired His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief India, Sir Claude Auchinleck in 1944 to propose the formation of a self-contained organization to look after the educational training of the Indian troops. He recommended the formation of the Indian Army Educational Corps without delay. With approval of Secretary of State for India, on 30 Apr 1946, the Governor General in council sanctioned the formation of a new corps designated as the Indian Army Educational Corps with effect from 01 Jun 1947. Thus the AEC finally came into existence on 01 Jun 1947 with an authorised regular cadre of 80 officers, 120 Viceroys Commissioned Officers and 400 Indian OR.When India became a Sovereign Republic on 26 Jan 1950, the decision to drop titles like Royal or Indian as prefix to Indian units and corps was taken. As a result the Indian Army Educational Corps was re-designated as the Army Educational Corps on 01 Nov 1950.A major milestone was covered when the AEC completed 50 eventful years of its existence and celebrated its Golden Jubilee on 01 Jun 1997. During the past glorious years the Corps has contributed significantly in the field of Army education of independent India.AEC Training College CentreArmy Educational Corps Training College and Centre, Pachmarhi has its origin dating back to 24 Apr 1921 when on being sanctioned by Army HQ India, Army School of Education was established with two separate wings, namely, the British Wing at Wellington and the Indian Wing at Belgaum in 1924. General HQ India decided to amalgamate the two wings under one commandant in view of the economy drive of the government and to establish a centralized control over both wings of the school. Accordingly, the British Wing was moved from Wellington to Belgaum on 11 Nov 1924 to form the Army School of Education India, Belgaum .The schools got amalgamated under one commandant in 1931. The orders were issued for final integration of both the wings of the Army School of Education; thus in Oct 1931 both the wings i.e. the British and Indian wings were combined.Another historical development took place in Oct 1939 when the Army School of Education India moved from Belgaum to Pachmarhi to cope with the war time education and the release period education schemes during and after World War-II. With India getting Independence in 1947, the Army School of Education, India, was redesignated as Army School of Education, Pachmarhi. Army Educational Corps Records office was established in the same year as part of the school. The school was again redesignated as AEC Centre and School, Pachmarhi in 1949. AEC Centre and School was redesignated as AEC Training College and Centre after it was affiliated to Dr. Hari Singh Gaur Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar, in 1961. This affiliation marked the introduction of degree courses - Bachelor of Education in 1961, Bachelor of Library Science in 1962, later renamed as Bachelor of Library and Info Science in 1981, and Diploma in Audio-visual and fundamental education in 1962, later upgraded to a degree course named as Bachelor of Education Technology. On 26 May 1985, the College attained the status of an Autonomous College under the same university. The autonomy was initially granted for a period of three years up to 1988 and later extended from time to time. As per the policy of the Government of MP, the jurisdiction of University of MP was restructured on geographical proximity and thus wef 1995, this autonomous college was affiliated to Barkatullah University, Bhopal.Modernisation Drive - Evolving With TimeBased on the evolving professional requirements in consonance with emerging technologies, the equipment modernisation projects for the Corps are set down as under:-(a) Hi-tech Classrooms. Upgradation of the existing class rooms using modern audio visual equipment such as computers and Video Projection Systems would be an inescapable requirement in the future for multi-sensory instruction.(b) Intranet. This would imply the automation of all functional areas, with nodes available for major functionaries and would later be integrated with the Army Intranet, once permitted.(c) Instructional Monitoring System. This would allow the senior management to monitor all instruction from a single location, thereby fostering greater accountability and commitment.(d) Internet & Media Connectivity. The unlimited sweep of the Internet is required to be harnessed and integrated with day-to-day functioning of the College. Networked terminal labs are proposed to be set up in areas of need.(e) Fully Automated Library. Most libraries are planned to be fully automated with an integrated library management system to enhance functional efficiency.(f) Computer-based Language Labs. Computer-based language labs with the requisite software would facilitate the teaching of English, foreign and regional languages and would allow the use of the latest language teaching software.(g) GIS for Map Reading Training. Integrating the Geographical Information System technology into map reading training would allow the trainees to acquire skills in the use of this state-of-the-art technology in the larger interests of the Indian Army.(h) CBT Production Centre. With the present emphasis on multi-sensory instruction, a modern, well-equipped CBT production centre at the College would facilitate the integration of CBT into all courses of instruction run by the AEC in various areas of functioning throughout the Army.Preparing for The Future.The AEC may be required to undertake an additional charter in the following areas in the future:-(a) Stress Management & Counseling(b) Clerks Training(c) Educational Rehabilitation and Civic Action(d) Training of Trainers(e) Instruction in Ethics and Morality(f) Computer Training for Recruits(g) Education of Wards of ServicemenHow to Apply (Officers)Male Applicants Apply to Addl Dte Gen of Recruiting (TGC Entry) Army HQs West Block III, RK Puram, New Delhi- 110066 in response to the advertisement published in Employment News and other major national dailies in the month of April/October for regular commission through Technical Graduate Course conducted at Indian Military Academy , Dehra Dun .Female Applicants Lady officers are presently commissioned into AEC only as Sort Service Commissioned Officers with tenure being extendable up to 14 years.
