The Sankoo Campus of Government Degree College (GDC) Kargil organised a one-day rock craft training for students enrolled in the High Altitude Trekking Guide (HATG) skill course. This event was held in collaboration with the Indian Army's Kargil Battle School in Drass on May 23.
The training was conducted under the guidance of Anamika Bisht, a skill trainer for the HATG course.
A dedicated team from the Kargil Battle School, led by Training SO Colonel Vikram Chandar, provided hands-on instruction.
Upon arrival at the training site, the Kargil Battle School team welcomed the students and introduced them to rock climbing equipment. They received practical training in various climbing techniques, including free climbing, overhang climbing, single jumaring, rappelling, and stomach rappelling.
In the afternoon session, NK Amarnaath (NA) delivered a medical lecture covering first aid, CPR, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), and the use of oxygen cylinders. This was followed by the students returning to the college campus.
Anamika Bisht expressed gratitude to the Kargil Battle School on behalf of the Sankoo Campus for providing this invaluable training opportunity. She stated that the experience significantly impacted the students' academic learning, providing them with practical skills and knowledge beneficial for their future careers.
