                                THE INCEPTION – A BARREN BEGINNING


                                 -------------------------------------------------



                                           Laying the First Stones: The battalion’s genesis began
                                           in  March  2024,  when  Assistant  Commandant  Kiran
                  March–April 2024          Manohar  Kujur  reported  to  GC-KKT.  With  no
                                           dedicated  office  or  infrastructure,  the  unit  operated
                                           from  the  RGS  office  of  GC-KKT,  sharing  resources
                                           and parade grounds. Initial struggles included


                                           Logistical Vacuum: Only one HC/GD, O.P. Tiwari,
                                           represented the battalion initially.


                                           Fighting  for  Space: Repeated  appeals  to  DIG-KKT
                                           for  barracks  yielded  temporary  solutions,  such  as
                                           repurposing dilapidated ATC huts at Hathi Chowk.




                                           Faulty  barrack  allotted  PF  Hut  allotted  which  is
                  March 2024               insufficient  for  an  unattached  unit  for  following

                                           branches like TE Coy, Cipher Coy, TRG branches, HQR
                                           office, Signal centre and trainee’s classrooms etc., For
                                           which  at  least  40  rooms  required  for  above  given
                                           branches/training purpose.

                                           Officers Sh. Amit Kumar, K. M. Kujur, and Choudhary
                                           KaleemUlla spearheaded the cleaning and whitewashing
                  April 2024               of Type-II quarters. These became the battalion’s first

                                           functional offices and living spaces.

                    Quote from the Field:

                    “The Type-II quarters were skeletal, filthy, and overrun with vegetation. Our men
                    worked tirelessly, scrubbing walls, repairing fittings, and reclaiming the land.”
