Dec 14, 2025
The Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC), one of the oldest arms of the Indian Army, celebrated its 247th Corps Day on Sunday, commemorating nearly 250 years of distinguished service. Originating from the Stud Department established in Bengal in 1779, the Corps underwent several reorganisations before formally becoming the Remount and Veterinary Corps in 1960. Awarded the President's Colours in 1989, the RVC continues to uphold its ethos of professionalism and commitment.
