The day was celebrated with great enthusiasm by the Officer Trainees (OTs), faculty members and staff, as it marks the time when the prestigious institution, which trains and produces the pillars of our nation, was started by amalgamating the IAS Training School, Delhi and the IAS Staff College, Shimla in 1959.
