North East training exposure likely to be revived

Following a meeting between the Assam Chief Secretary and LBSNAA Director Sriram Taranikanti, there are indications of a revival of the “North East Darshan” exposure program for AGMUT and North East cadre officer trainees by early 2026. The initiative aims to enhance on-the-ground understanding of the region’s administrative and socio-political dynamics.

Plans under discussion include short-term (3–6 months) deputations of more than 50 IAS, IPS, and IFoS officers to states such as Nagaland and Sikkim. The focus is said to be on responsive governance in sensitive border areas, including those adjoining China and Myanmar.
