The city-based Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVP-NPA)-- a premiere police training institution, is working on a project to establish a virtual classroom to connect all the police training centres across the country.

Apart from connecting the police training centres, SVP-NPA is also eyeing to connect all the Central Police Organisation (CPO) academies and is now working on different technological aspects (for connectivity network) in creating the most economical way of a virtual classroom, a senior NPA official said.

"The plan is to connect different training centres that would finally turn into interactive classrooms. NPA will facilitate in developing the content for online courses and even other academies can also contribute in developing online training content. We are awaiting nod for virtual classroom, which is likely to take some more time," NPA's (Information Technology) Deputy Director Malini Agarwal told PTI.

The virtual classroom will provide a forum for real-time interaction between faculty and students through web conferencing, video conferencing and interactive classroom.

"The objective is to impart lectures and have one-to-one direct interaction between trainers and learners through interactive classrooms at different police training centres and even guest lectures can be given at some of the remote areas," she said.
