The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), entrusted with securing the Line of Actual Control with China, has created its first mountain warfare training facility in northeast India and its second overall as part of its mandate to instruct its personnel in high-altitude fighting and survival skills.
The Mountaineering and Skiing Institute (M&SI), which debuted at Auli, close to Joshimath, in 1973–74, was the first institution of its sort.
The building was constructed close to 50 years after M&SI's founding. If you are preparing for competitive exams and looking for expert guidance, you can download our General Knowledge Free Ebook Download Now.

THE KEY POINTS
- The M&SI has trained hundreds of members of the ITBP, army, air force, and other security professionals in both this sector and adventure sports. It is located on the Himalayan slopes of Uttarakhand at a height of over 9,000 feet.
- The new centre is located at a height of 10,040 feet with far-off Dombang, which borders the LAC, in Sikkim, which shares a frontage of 220 kilometres with the India-China LAC.
- A senior ITBP officer claims that despite the fact that the need for a second facility beyond Auli had long been recognized given the rising level of engagement of its troops with the Chinese PLA in recent years, the Sikkim training centre was conceptualized to improve the ability to train newly recruited and serving troops in mountain warfare, rock climbing, high-altitude survival, and patrol.
