The youngest battalion of the Gorkha Rifles has been raised at Sabathu in the Simla Hills, which also houses the 14 Gorkha Training Centre. The 6th Battalion, 1st Gorkha Rifles (6/1 GR) affectionately called 'Kanchi Paltan', is unique in that all its troops are of Indian domicile instead of hailing from Nepal as with the other regiments (the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, FF, 8th, 9th and 11th GR).
