IAS, IPS, and IFS: This is how IAS are prepared in Mussoorie, these things have to be followed… then they become officers..

Every year thousands of students prepare for the tough civil service examination of UPSC, but only a few get success. The next step for the candidates who pass this exam is to go to Mussoorie. Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, which is called LBSNAA, is situated amidst the beautiful mountains of Uttarakhand.

This is where the future IAS officers of the country are trained. Mussoorie is not only famous for its weather and beauty but is also special because the officers who run the country emerge from here.

It starts with the foundation course.

When a new IAS officer reaches Mussoorie, his training begins with the foundation course. This course is for selected candidates of all services like IAS, IPS, and IFS. In this course, they are given information about subjects like administration, constitution, sociology, economics language.

Along with this, they are also taught how an officer should behave, how to talk to the public, and how government work is done.

Physical training is also done along with studies.
The training in Mussoorie is not limited to books only. Here PT parade is held early in the morning, yoga is done and sometimes trekking is also done in the hills. The purpose of this is that the officers become physically strong and inculcate a sense of discipline in them. Along with this, sports, cultural events, and speech competitions are also held so that the self-confidence of the officers increases.

Bharat Darshan helps in identifying the country.

After the foundation course, officers are sent to Bharat Darshan. This is a kind of study tour in which officers travel to different parts of the country. They visit villages, cities, border areas, army units and government institutions. This gives them a real picture of India's diversity, culture, and administration.

Real information is obtained from professional training.

After Bharat Darshan, the professional training of IAS officers starts. During this period, they are taught how the district administration works, how law and order are maintained, how schemes are implemented, and how government documents are handled. This training is very practical and gives them a proper understanding of their future responsibilities.

Field training gives real experience.
When IAS officers complete their studies and professional training in Mussoorie, they are sent to a district. There they work with officers like SDM, BDO, and Tehsildar and get real administrative experience. This field training is their most important test because here they directly connect with the common people and learn to deal with real problems.

Mussoorie makes responsible officers of the country
LBSNAA, Mussoorie is not just a training center, but it is the place from where honest, hardworking, and sensitive officers who run the country emerge. The training here not only gives knowledge but also creates a strong thinking and a feeling of patriotism. This is the reason why Mussoorie is called the birthplace of IAS officers.
