Counter Insurgency and Anti Terrorist School

Setting up of Counter Insurgency and Anti Terrorist Schools (CIATSs)

In order to strength the training inputs in the States affected by insurgency and terrorism, during the 11th Plan period a scheme was approved for establishment of 20 Counter Insurgency and Anti Terrorist Schools (CIATSs) four each in the States of Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa at the cost of ` 52.40 crores. In these Schools 75,000 police personnel were likely to get trained for combating terrorism/Naxalism. The proposed trainings mainly are outdoor and do not require large scale permanent constructions. Most of the required infrastructure is temporary. The contribution of this Ministry towards the Scheme is to provide funds mainly for establishment of CIAT Schools, recurring expenditure thereon and for equipment upgradation. The land for these schools is to be provided by the concerned State Governments. They are also to provide administrative support for running the CIAT Schools. BPR&D is to sign the MOUs to this effect with respective State.
