           |       Patna, (Bihar Times): The defence ministry is to  open the Officers’ Training Academy for the army officers of the Short Service  Commission in Gaya.  It will start functioning from December next. It will be second such Academy in  the country.
 The Academy will impart training to the officers of the ranks of Captain and  Major. The Academy will come up in the sprawling 600 acres of land in the Army  Services Corps (North) in Gaya.
 The defence ministry has for the last several years been planning to shift the  ASC (North) to some other places. However, it was opposed by the state  government. Now, according to reports the ASC will be accommodated somewhere  within the state.
 
 The coming up of the OTA will certainly give a boost to Gaya.
