The course was sponsored by the Government of Sikkim with the objective of inculcating a sense of adventure and to promote ecotourism. The Institute will be conducting an Advance Mountaineering Course sometime at the end of this year, the release mentions.
Conducting Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) and Advance Mountaineering Course (AMC) is a pre requisite for any Mountaineering Institute to get full fledged recognition and support from the IMF (Indian Mountaineering Federation), the release adds.
