    Solution

    Territorial Army (TA) recently inducted its first batch of Mandarin-trained officers to support the regular Army's efforts to enhance expertise in the Chinese language.

    The Indian Territorial Army (TA) is a second line of defence after the regular Indian Army; it is not a profession, occupation or a source of employment.

    TA was raised by the Britishers in 1920 through Indian Territorial Act of 1920 and it was org into two wings namely - 'The Auxiliary Force' for Europeans & Anglo-Indians and 'The Indian Territorial Force' for Indian Volunteers.
