Is it a callsign used in India for the RTF (called FRTOL in the UK) written or oral exam?

I wonder if the speaker or author is referring to 'vector'; still doesn't make much sense without seeing it in context, but it's a bit more logical....

It sounds like the fictitious name for an ATC ground-station, similar to 'Wrayton Control', 'Westbury' and 'Stourton', used in CAP413.

Concorde 77 - may I suggest that you X-post this in the Asia forum on PPrune? It's highly likely that there'll be some Air India etc pilots in there.....

Just a guess - a Victor Airway is typically an airway in airspace Echo (V from the guidance through VOR's), but I don't recall they have special frequencies to control that, maybe an ATC frequency for Victor airways? Some FAA guy from the US here to tell wether Victor is flown on INFORMATION, RADAR or some special frequency? Or maybe it is simply the training shortcut for "the ATC frequency handling the Victor airways" to avoid handover between ATC frequencies, when flying Victor.
