Defence Services Staff College
The Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) is a defence service training institution of the Ministry of Defence, Government of India.
It trains officers of all three services of the Indian Armed Forces – (Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force), selected officers from the Paramilitary forces[citation needed] and the Civil Services[citation needed] and officers from friendly foreign countries for command and staff appointments.
The Defence Services Staff College, one of India's oldest military institutions, was established following the Partition of British India in August 1947. During the partition, Pakistan inherited the Staff College, Quetta, originally founded in 1905 at Deolali before relocating to Quetta in 1907.
The Indian elements of the Staff College, Quetta led by the senior-most Indian Army instructor Colonel S. D. Verma moved to India. Verma was promoted brigadier and appointed as the first commandant and chose Wellington Cantonment in The Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu as the location of the Staff College in India.
The first staff course started in April 1948, months after the move. The first course had 46 officers from the Indian Army and 2 each from the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. Two officers from this course – Major Tapishwar Narain Raina and Squadron Leader Hrushikesh Moolgavkar went on to head their services as the Chiefs. The air wing was established in 1949 and the Naval Wing in 1950 and the college was rechristened Defence Services Staff College. The college threw open its gates to officers from friendly foreign countries from the fifth course and to civil servants from the sixth course.
DSSC has been affiliated to Madras University for the award of M.Sc. degree in 'Defence and Strategic Studies' and recognized as a research centre for MPhil and PhD degrees since 1990.
The Staff College when at Quetta adopted the crest of Staff College, Camberley, which was the 'Wise Owl' with the Latin motto Tam Marte Quam Minerva. In 1964, Owl perched on crossed swords and the motto in Sanskrit Yuddham Pragya was adopted.
The commandant of the Defence Services Staff College is the head of the institution. The commandant is an army officer of the rank of lieutenant general.
