Indian Administrative Service (IAS) probationers and officers training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie will soon start enjoying tight security cover. The Union home ministry has reportedly cleared a proposal to deploy paramilitary force at the premier institute, the cradle of Indias top bureaucracy. According to sources, the authorities of the academy - it is under the department of personnel and training - had requested to upgrade its security two years ago. As of now, the LBSNAAs security is handled by a private agency, which has a skeletal staff of about two dozen personnel.

It runs an annual common foundation course for all recruits of all- India services and central services.
