Kutch in 2015 and at the National Police Academy in Hyderabad
in 2016.
The event was postponed from its December schedule
last year due to administrative issues and tight work schedule
of the prime minister and the home minister, official sources
had earlier said.

terrorism and radicalisation were discussed in detail. The
prime minister had emphasised the importance of leadership,
soft skills and collective training. He specifically mentioned
the importance of technology and human interface for the
