RRU and SSB cademy signs landmark MoU for Security Training

In a recent move toward strengthening India’s internal security framework, Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Academy, along with its training establishments, have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today to affiliate and accredit specialized security courses. The formal signing ceremony took place at the SSB headquarters in Delhi, attended by high-ranking officials including Prof. (Dr.) Kalpesh H. Wandra, Pro-Vice Chancellor of RRU; Avinash Kharel, Dean of Affiliation & Accreditation at RRU; and Sanjay Singhal, Director General (DG) of the SSB, along with his other officials.

This strategic partnership establishes a formal framework where RRU, an Institution of National Importance, will provide academic accreditation for various training programs conducted at the SSB Academy. Under the terms of the agreement, both institutions have committed to a comprehensive exchange of resources, including faculty expertise, pedagogical tools, and specialized training facilities. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academic research in national security and the practical, on-ground requirements of border guarding forces.

During the event, Prof. (Dr.) Kalpesh H. Wandra highlighted that the collaboration is already yielding results, noting that RRU recently conducted a specialized “Smart Border Management” course for SSB officials. To ensure the highest standards of professional development, RRU will provide SSB personnel with hands-on training through its state-of-the-art laboratories and field-based workshops. This initiative is expected to modernize the training curriculum for the SSB, focusing on technology-driven solutions for border surveillance and internal security challenges.

Shri Sanjay Singhal, Director General of the SSB, expressed strong confidence in RRU’s capabilities to provide the necessary educational infrastructure for the force. He highlighted that the partnership would focus heavily on the “upskilling and re-skilling” of officials to adapt to the evolving landscape of border management and internal security. By leveraging the talent pool of both institutions, the initiative aims to create a robust ecosystem for continuous professional development within the SashastraSeema Bal.(UPDATED ON 21ST MARCH 2026)
