NSA Ajit Doval addresses the passing out parade at SVPNPA in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: National Security Adviser Ajit Doval has exhorted the passing out IPS probationary officers to work together as a team and as a family dedicated in the service of this country. Addressing them after reviewing the passing out parade at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad yesterday, he reminded that the police are to enforce law and to protect and maintain the law and order in the length and breadth of this country. 

He also asked the officer trainees to their technological capabilities and develop the right attitudes to bring in transformative changes in police functioning. He commended the role of the civil and armed police forces in safeguarding India's sovereignty and internal security was significant. Mr. Doval



lauded that the National Academy has been imparting training based on modern and advanced methods and technology to the IPS probationers.

Dr. Darpan Ahluwalia, a Punjab-cadre IPS probationer, has led the passing out parade. A total of 149 officers, including 132 IPS trainees of the 73rd batch and 17 Foreign Officer Trainees, have taken part in the Dikshant Parade. Academy Director Atul Karwal said that the participation of women has increased in this batch with 20 per cent of the trainees being women. 

He further said, greater emphasis was laid on attitude, behaviour, humility during their 60 week long training, as they make a person a better human being, and thereby a good officer.
