SVPNPA Recruitment 2019 For Lower Division Clerk

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 ready availability of a few unused army barracks at Mount Abu was the prime consideration for the choice. But within a year, the Army authorities wanted back the M.E.S. buildings and thus began the nomadic existence of this institution, in the rented buildings of the Rajputana Hotel and the Abu Lawrence School, etc.
