BIHARSHARIF: Bihar Police Academy (BPA), Rajgir has received Union Home Minister's Trophy for best police training institution in eastern zone for 2020-21.
The academy has received the award in the non-gazetted officers category.
"The coveted award has been conferred to the BPA for its excellent training programme and eco-friendly infrastructure among other aspects," said Natasha Gudia, deputy director, BPA, Rajgir.

One of the youngest police academies, BPA was inaugurated by chief minister Nitish Kumar in December 2018 and it has a capacity to train 2,000 officers of different ranks simultaneously. As per a statement issued by Bihar police headquarters, the BPA has so far trained 2,131 police sub inspectors, eight excise sub-inspectors, 164 deputy superintendents of police and 23 IPS officers. Currently, 45 DSP-rank officers are undergoing training and 2,277 sub-inspector-rank officers and constables are expected to join training at the academy.
"It is due to selection of competent instructors and making quality of training of national level that BPA left behind 100-year-old police training academy in West Bengal in mere three years and bagged the best institution award for training of deputy superintendents of police (DSPs)," Natasha said.
The first state-of-the- art police academy in Bihar at Rajgir was built on a sprawling campus of 133.28 acres of land near the building of Nalanda University on Rajgir- Chhabilapur road with an expenditure of around Rs 290 crore.
Various amenities at BPA include two sprawling grounds, swimming pools, stadium, sewerage treatment plant, solar, wind and bio-gas plants, a unit of CFL, a primary school, a hospital, driving and horse riding schools, solid waste management plant, library, gym and women's cell.
