History of NSG
The Union Cabinet in 1984 took a decision to create a Federal Contingency Force comprising of personnel who are highly motivated, specially equipped, and well trained to tackle the various manifestations of terrorism. In June 1984, a nucleus consisting of the Director General of NSG and other essential elements were sanctioned and steps were initiated to raise the Force. A bill for the creation of this Organization was introduced in the parliament in August 1986 and it received the assent of the President on September 22, 1986, and the National Security Guard (NSG) formally came into being from that date.
The basic philosophy of NSG is swift and speedy strike and immediate withdrawal from the theatre of action. National Security Guard has been given the SPECIFIC ROLE to handle all facets of terrorism in any part of the country as a Federal Contingency Force. The NSG was modelled on the pattern of the SAS of the UK and GSG-9 of Germany. It is a task-oriented Force and has two complementary elements in the form of the Special Action Group (SAG) comprising Army personnel and the Special Ranger Groups (SRG), comprising personnel drawn from the Central Armed Police Forces / State Police Forces.
NSG has successfully conducted many operations and still capable enough to deter any kind of situation. The soldiers are trained to the limit that makes them unbreakable. Several soldiers apply for getting into the group, but fail to join due to hard training and qualifying phase.
Training Centres of NSG
The Training Centre was raised on 15 Oct 1985 for training of NSG Probationers and Capacity Building of State Police Forces, it has since evolved to face the growing and multi facet threat posed by terrorism.
As a Centre of National repute of the exclusive federal CT Force of the Nation it is the most comprehensive and sought after Counter Terrorism training institute in the Nation forged by the healthy amalgamation of the best of both the CAPFs and Indian Army units. Its emergence as the defacto Centre of Excellence for Urban CT, Bomb Detection and Disposal of the country is testimony to the high standards of training being imparted.
The Centre is an apt example of seamless synergy and cooperation between the Para Military Forces and the Army. The Centre imparts world class CT skills to include, Bomb Disposal/ Counter IED training and a host of specialist courses. It also conducts Joint Exercises for CAPFs and State Police Organizations as well as CT Force from Friendly Foreign Countries.
The Training Centre has earned a niche for itself as an elite Counter Terrorism training establishment of the country. Recently Government of India has unveiled New training centers across different parts of the Nation.
