Dergaon, Aug 12: In a rare display of inter-state police cooperation, 700 Goa Police recruits — 569 men and 131 women — today graduated from the prestigious Lachit Barphukan Police Academy (LBPA) in Dergaon, Assam, after 43 weeks of intensive training.

The Passing Out Parade, attended by Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and Goa Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant, featured a grand march past, oath-taking, award presentations, and a high-adrenaline “Panthers on Wheels” demonstration.

This unique batch, which also included personnel from Assam and Manipur, arrived in Dergaon in October 2024 for a programme designed to sharpen physical fitness, mental resilience, law and order management, field tactics, and weapons handling.

Goa CM Sawant lauded the “excellent, high-quality” training and said the exchange had deepened ties between Goa and Assam, calling it a step toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Akhanda Bharat. Assam CM Sarma described the moment as a “matter of pride for Assam” and reaffirmed the state’s readiness to train police personnel from anywhere in India.

LBPA, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is regarded as one of India’s premier police academies, producing officers who serve nationwide and fostering national unity through professional exchange.
