In a landmark development for police education and capacity building, Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gandhinagar, Gujarat, has executed two significant agreements with the Recruit Training Centre (RTC), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Supaul, Bihar.

The institutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for broad academic collaboration and a specific Accreditation & Affiliation Agreement. This dual signing marks a paradigm shift, formally recognizing the rigorous professional training of SSB recruits with academic certification.

RTC SSB, Supaul, undertakes recruitment and promotional courses for cadres. The affiliation will not only provide trainees with exposure to cutting-edge academic and professional modules but also enhance their preparedness to meet the evolving challenges of internal security, border management, and law enforcement with greater efficiency.

This agreement extends the successful model established at RTC SSB Alwar, which saw 391 recruits earn Diplomas in Internal Security and Border Management, alongside our strategic work with the CI&JW School in Gwaldam on Training Needs Assessments. By bringing these standards to Supaul, RRU is reinforcing its commitment to professionalizing the force through unified academic rigor and accredited certification.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Sanjay Kumar Sharma, Deputy Inspector General, SSB, Supaul, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, highlighting that it will enable the initiation of joint training programs, research, and development activities with RRU. Shri Manish Kumar Meena, 2nd-In-Command & Shri Pappu Chakma, Dy. Commandants were present from the RTC SSB.

Pro Vice Chancellor of RRU, Prof. (Dr.) Kalpesh H. Wandra, in his address, underlined the rapid growth of RRU in training, research, and extension activities. He stated that the partnership with SSB through this MoU is a remarkable step forward, strengthening the university’s mission of fostering knowledge-driven and practice-oriented learning. He further added that RRU and SSB will now be able to conduct more specialized and advanced training programs together, nurturing leadership, innovation, and professionalism in security forces.
