While expressing my happiness to be back at the helm of affairs at the Academy, I would like to urge all my colleagues of various ranks working in the Academy to put their hands together and extend their wholehearted support in taking this glorious Academy to newer heights.

Telangana Police Academy is a benchmark training institution which has time and again been acknowledged by the Union Government as the best training institute in the country. To be an esteemed member of the Academy fraternity is a unique opportunity as it affords the rare opportunity to contribute one’s might in serving the police training needs of Telangana.

In these everchanging times, the Academy is expected to ably cope up with the fast-transforming environs both in sociological and technological dimensions. We should always function with a clear realization and understanding that this Academy is meant to equip the Trainees with all the relevant capabilities encompassing skills, knowledge and attitude so that they will be able to deliver the desirable outcomes on the field. To this end we should strive to dynamically reorient the content, delivery mechanism besides training-infrastructure to optimally suit the expected requirements as dictated by the ground realities.

I look forward to being a partner in all the great achievements that I foresee in our endeavours as I lead Team- TGPA in the days to come. Good luck and Godspeed!
