ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

(a)    &  (b)  :    Yes,  Madam.  Although  the  responsibility  of  equipping  the  state police  forces  lies  with  the  State  Governments  by  virtue  of  'Police'  being  a State subject, Government of India supplements the efforts of State Governments by providing central assistance under the scheme of 'Assistance to  States  for  Modernisation  of  Police'  [erstwhile  scheme  of  Modernisation  of State  Police  Forces(MPF)]  to  strengthen  police  infrastructure.  Under  this Scheme,  State  Governments  are  provided  central  assistance  for  acquiring advanced  weaponry  such  as AK-47 & INSAS Rifles,  all types  of  surveillance

equipments including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Night Vision Devices(NVDs),  CCTV  Surveillance  system  &  body  worn  camera  systems, modern communication equipments and state-of-the-art equipments for intelligence  branches  and  forensic  science  laboratories.  State  Governments formulate their State Action Plans (SAPs) every year based on  their strategic priorities and requirements.  The allocations and releases made during each of the last three years and the current year, State wise is at Annexure-I.

(c) & (d) :  The responsibility of providing training also rests primarily with the State Governments. However, Central Governments supplement the States by providing assistance for training of State Police Forces. The Central Government, through the National Police Academy organizes tactical training of police officers at the foundation level, functional level and directional level. The Army, NSG and Greyhounds, Hyderabad provide specialized pre-induction, commando,  counter-naxal  and  counter-IED  training  to  both  Central  Armed Police  Forces  (CAPFs)  and  State  Police  personnel.  Counter  Insurgency  and Anti-Terrorist (CIAT) Schools provide specialized anti-terrorist / naxal training to State police personnel. In addition, all CAPFs and State Police Forces have developed  in-house  capabilities  for  providing  specialized  training  at  their respective institutes. In addition, Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science (NICFS) organizes a number of courses on

Also,  the  Directorate  of  Forensic  Science  Services  (DFSS)  also conducts training programme from time to time for creating awareness among the  Police,  Judiciary  and  other  Law  Enforcement  Agencies.
