CM Dr. Sarma along with his Goa counterpart Dr. Pramod Sawant attend passing out parade
Staff Reporter, Jorhat: Marking a milestone in inter-state police cooperation, Goa has become the second state after Manipur to have sent its police personnel to Assam. These police personnel who have completed their 43-week basic training at the Lachit Borphukan Police Academy (LBPA) in Dergaon, took part in a passing out parade as Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma along with his Goa counterpart Dr. Pramod Sawant attended the passing out parade of Goa Police recruits at LBPA today. The 700 recruits, who arrived at LBPA in October last year, underwent gruelling training in physical fitness, mental resilience, field tactics and weapon handling. After successful completion of the training they have been inducted in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Indian Reserve Battalions. Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Dr. Sarma said, “It is a proud moment for us, as we expand our proven training capabilities and play a key role in preparing the next generation security personnel to serve the nation with honour. Assam is ready to provide the best of its services to this important national cause”. The Chief Minister said that though physically Assam and Goa are miles apart, the decision of the Goa government in sending its police recruits to LBPA has brought both the states nearer. He said that the fact that Assam has been chosen as the destination for the induction training of the police recruits, has reflected the inherent trust and cooperation between the two states. Congratulating the recruits, Dr. Sarma said that henceforth, the police personnel will be able to serve the people with the highest spirit of dedication and devotion. The Chief Minister on the occasion said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated this police academy on 25 March, 2025. Since then, the institution has been imparting regular training to the police personnel of Assam. However, he mentioned that the personnel of Manipur police also underwent training at LBPA along with the just concluded training for Goa police personnel. He said that the training has given an opportunity to Goa Police recruits to familiarize themselves with the culture and heritage of Assam. He also said that during the period of training even Assam police personnel have a chance to acquire knowledge on the culture of Goa. He moreover, said that Assam-Goa relation, a manifestation of national integration, will receive a new fillip from this inter-state police cooperation. Since several youth of Assam for their vocations live in Goa, Dr. Sarma, therefore, believed that for any exigency they can approach Goa police and seek their help.
It may be noted that out of 700 recruits, 569 are male and 131 are female. Chief Minister Goa Dr. Pramod Sawant also spoke on the occasion. He said that the recruits being in the position of receiving their training at the prestigious institute like LBPA, must consider themselves to be very lucky. On the occasion, the Assam Police personnel also demonstrated their skills through adventure sports. Agriculture Minister Atul Bora, Finance Minister Ajanta Neog, MLAs Bhabendra Nath Bharali, Biswajit Phukan, Chief Secretary Dr. Ravi Kota, DG, Assam Police Harmeet Singh, DG, Goa Police Aloke Kumar and a host of other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
