Wellington is a town in The Nilgiris District in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Wellington is home to The Defence Services Staff College (DSSC), a premier tri-service training establishment that imparts training to middle level officers of the three wings of the Indian Armed Forces, friendly foreign countries and various Indian Civil Service departments.
