The Military Intelligence Training School and Depot (MINTSD), based in Pune, is a premier institution dedicated to training intelligence professionals across the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and para-military forces.
Originally founded in 1941 in Karachi under British command, the institution has since undergone several relocations, from Murree (Pakistan) to Mhow (Madhya Pradesh), before finally settling in Pune, where it continues to grow and evolve.
MINTSD recently celebrated its 75th anniversary, marking over seven decades of contributing significantly to the intelligence capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces.
Through its advanced training programs and infrastructure advancements, MINTSD plays a vital role in shaping the future of military intelligence and ensuring India’s preparedness in the face of complex security challenges.
