Plan Scheme of NEPA

It was decided in 2006 that the NEPA may be transferred to Ministry of Home Affairs from DONER. NEPA was transferred to Ministry of Home Affairs w. e. f 1.4.2007. It was assessed that this will help to secure professional management inputs there. The Ministry of Home Affairs has been trying to convert NEPA into a “Centre of Excellence” for police training of NE States. Home Secretary has emphasized the need to convert NEPA into a State-of-the-art institution, while retaining the regional character. Pursuant to this, NEPA proposes to upgrade the training infrastructure / facilities and introduce several training courses relevant to problems being faced by NE States presently. A plan scheme named “Strengthening of infrastructure of NEPA” was approved in January 2009 at a cost of Rs. 49.50 crore during the 11th Plan Period 2007-2012. The plan scheme was revised to accommodate increased cost on some of the works and to take new essential works which were not included / comprehended earlier. The revised scheme at a cost of Rs. 82.13 Crore to be completed by the March 2014 was approved in January 2011 and presently under implementation.
