Mhow cantonment was founded by Sir John Malcolm as a sequel to the Treaty of Mandsour signed by the British Government and then Holkar king. Three premier training institutions of the Indian Army viz. College of Combat, Infantry School and MCTE are located in the cantonment. The spirit of the cantonment is irrepressible, showing a quaint defiance to the inexorable march of time.
