SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATEL NATIONAL POLICE ACADEMY
HYDERABAD
INDIA
Nestling amidst verdant hills in Hyderabad is the permanent abode of the Indian Police Service (IPS) - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (NPA), the premier police training institution in the country.
Indian Police (IP) officers, until the country became independent, received probationary training in their respective provincial police training colleges. Since their training was not based on any uniform pattern or system, they did not know one another and many of them did not even have the opportunity of knowing the system of police work in other parts of India. After Independence, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the first Union Home Minister emphasized the importance of having a ring of services which would keep the country intact under a Federal Constitution. He said, “...the Union will go, you will not have a united India, if you do not have a good All India Service, which has the independence to speak out its mind...”. Thus was born the Indian Police Service (IPS) as an All India Service, as successor service to the IP.
The constitution of the Indian Police Service as an All India Service necessitated a common pattern of police training. With a view to imparting induction training to the new entrants to the IPS who were drawn from all regions of the country and different strata of society, the Central Police Training College was established in Mount Abu (Rajasthan) on September 15, 1948.
The idea of setting up such a training institution for IPS was Sardar's brainchild. Through this measure, he forged a new uniformity of purpose and professional competence, which provided the needed protection to the national fabric. In a message, Sardar Patel had said, "The College is the first institution of its kind in India. It has no precedents to look back upon but has an inspiring example to set for future generations. It has to build itself and build others. It has to create among its alumni that love and reverence for their alma mater which are at once the pride and heritage of an educational institution. May it secure all this from the devotion and attention of its inmates...".These words have guided the functioning of this institution.
The institution was rechristened as National Police Academy in 1967, and finally named after its founder, as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA), in 1974. Due to the efforts of the then Director, Mr. S.M. Diaz with full backing of Home Minister Late Shri Brahmananda Reddy, the Academy moved from Mount Abu to its present location in Hyderabad in February 1975. Mr. Diaz persuaded the Chief Ministers of various States and the Directors General of Police to donate money for the constitution of guest houses in the Academy campus. Hyderabad is regarded as the training capital of India.
