| The Punjab Regiment with regimental center based at Ramgarh In Jharkand is the oldest Infantry regiment of the Indian Army . The origin of the Punjab Regiment can be traced back to 1761. The first units of the Punjab Regiment were carved out of the erstwhile Coastal Sepoys, which were known as Carnatic Battalions and then Madras Battalions. In October 1761, the first battalions of the Punjab Regiment were raised.These battalions underwent several changes later on,to be known as 2nd Punjab Regiment.The recruitment to this regiment was confined to the areas of Punjab. The 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (1 Punjab ) is now integral part of the Army’s elite Special Forces. The 1st Battalion was earlier part of the Punjab Regiment, having been raised as the 8th Battalion Coast Sepoys in 1761 at Trichinopoly. | |||

The Regimental Centre of 'Sikh Regiment' is based at Ramgarh in Jharkhand, not that of 'Punjab Regiment' as mentioned in this post. If possible please do correct this factual mistake.

Mr.Mallik,
Thanks for your comment.There are no factual error about the Regimental Center Of Punjab Regiment.The Punjab regiment is based out Ramgarh Cantonment in Jharkand as mentioned in the article.

Kumar
You are right that 'Sikh Regiment'centre is based at Ramgarh..I have just found that regimental centre at Punjab Regiment is also at Ramgarh Cantonment.
