MILITARY TRAINING CAMP

GENERAL

In accordance with the National Youth Policy which envisages that the youth of the country should spend at least one fifth of their total time spent in an educational institution on out door activities, our respected Founder President has directed that compulsory Military Training Camp for all students, both PG and UG of Amity institutions be conducted. Accordingly, The Amity Indian Military Education Society has established a Camp in tented accommodation at the Amity Education Valley Manesar, to give the students an exposure to outdoor life in a natural habitat which fulfills some of the objectives enshrined in the National Youth Policy. The camp is called the “Amity Green Horns Military Training Camp”.

General Instructions contained in the succeeding paragraphs are guidelines to be followed by the participants to enable them to draw maximum benefit and for smooth running of the camp. All participants are expected to read these instructions carefully prior to setting out for the Camp.

AIM

The aim of Military Training Camp is:-


• To inculcate an essence of camaraderie and brotherhood amongst the students of different Amity Institutions.
• To bring in Synergy and Team Spirit among participants.
• To provide an opportunity to the participants to understand the work ethos and the broader details about the Armed Forces.
• To provide facilities for adventure related training and sports activities in an eco – friendly and pollution free environment.
• To expose the students to subjects of general awareness such as disaster management, Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological Threat and counter measures etc.

At the beginning of the academic session, DG AIMES will issue a tentative schedule of Camps spreading from first week of Sep to mid April. Based on the overall schedule of the training camps, all Amity institutions are required to project their demand of vacancies both for boys and girls.

The institutions will submit nominal rolls of students attending the Camp in duplicate which must reach the office of the Director General, Amity Indian Military Education Society located in ‘D’ Block (Fourth Floor), Sector-125 Campus, Noida, at least 4 days prior to the date of commencement of the camp.
