Purpose of this blog

This blog has been created to provide all sorts of information relating to training at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, for all those who are joining the Indian Police Service.

I feel that the information provided through formal channels leaves thousands of doubts in our minds. And there is no way one can get this information unless one personally knows someone in the service. My endeavor is to make as much information as possible known to all interested.

Clarify your doubts about anything that you have in mind with respect to training. All questions are welcome. I shall try to answer all of them. 

I will be putting up certain documents, book, articles, etc for your perusal. 

Hope this helps!

Disclaimer: Apart from factual utterings, many of my statements will undoubtedly be subjective. Please consult more people before forming an opinion.
